Moto Adventures

Having been at the beach for a week we decided it was time to head for the hills and visit Colima and see the Colima volcano. The day we rode by here on our last trip there was a earthquake and we didn't stop so this time we thought the trip was a must. Although we were not really impressed with the city of Colima the surrounding countryside was beautiful and roads fun to ride on the motorcycle. The volcano didn't disappoint us, letting off a little steam every 1 1/2 hours or so, just in time for a good look and a few pictures.
After the short stay in Colima city it was back and the back and heading north. Along the road Ken caught a glimpses of a tarantula walking down the road, this made him very happy because it was the first and only one we have seen this trip. The spider was big and hairy, a real beauty!
On to Puerto Vallarta to meet Kelly(from SOF) and his wife Julie(who I walked with in the Breast Cancer walk last year). Meeting up with them we did a few more tourist attractions, renting a car and driving back up to San Sebastion(Ken and I had been through on our way down and really liked it), and walking around downtown P.V. and having diner on the Malecon where a whale and her calf put on great show, as well traditional dancers did a pole dance and impressed us all with their talent to climb up the the poles and swing down on ropes tied to their feet.
It was great to spend a few days with Kelly and Julie, their place at the Holiday Inn on the 16th floor had a fantastic view of the bay and P.V. no wonder they come here for a couple months in a year.
We drove as close as we could to the volcano.

Ken's always glad to find a new friend!

Vacation pictures just wouldn't be complete without a few floral shots.



Kelly, Julie, Ken and I wandered around San Sebastion and checked out the square and shops.




Amazing sand sculptures on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta.
