| Yelapa is a small beach town south of Puerto Vallarta, accessible only by water taxi. We first had to catch a bus from Puerto Vallarta to Boca de Tomatlan where the early water taxis departed. We hopped on board, accompanied by food and supplies destined for Yelapa and other beach towns along the way. |  |

The ride was a roller coaster. The boat bounced its way along the Pacific coast and we held on. It was great to get the wind in our faces as we watched the tropical shoreline fly by. We made a stop on the way, dropping off workers and supplies, before landing on a beautifully vacant beach. |
| The beach is dotted with shaded chairs, small huts, and sandy restaurants. We were greeted and ushered to a table by one of the restaurateurs. He didn't have a menu but told us everything he had was in memory. He told us he offered eggs Mexicana or huevos rancheros. Our heuvos rancheros was, "The Best of the Trip", according to Amy. We followed our breakfast by jumping into the ocean. Would you believe Andrew caught this iguana on the way to the beach. I didn't think so. We paid 20 pesos to take the picture! |  |

The ocean off the beach was a welcome change to the murky water in Puerto Vallarta. Even when the beach chairs started filling up we never felt crowded. |
| We left the beach to walk through town and a "waterfall" beyond town. The heat was overwhelmingly evident as we made our way up the hill to the site. As we saw the trickle coming down the hillside, we were more interested in streaming some cold drink down our throats and I had more fun looking at the sweat trickling down Andrew's cheek. We were soon heading back to the cool comforts of our ocean front chairs and enjoying a piece of pecan pie. |  |
