Hidden beach paradise in Mexico

 If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, we warmly recommend The Hidden Beach in theMarieta Islands, Mexico. It is an amazing place which is enthusiastically visited by tourists, but which is not altered by human hand, because it is very strictly protected by law.

If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, we warmly recommend The Hidden Beach in theMarieta Islands, Mexico. It is an amazing place which is enthusiastically visited by tourists, but which is not altered by human hand, because it is very strictly protected by law.
The Marieta Islands near Puerto Vallarta have been declared a national park, and consequently it is completely illegal for people to undergo activities such as hunting, fishing, and almost anything else in this place. Actually, the only two activities that are permitted in the area are kayaking and snorkeling, so the islands are safe from harm and degradation.

 In this magnificent paradise, where the weather doesn’t really change throughout the year, one of the islands holds a fascinating ‘hidden beach’ that can only be accessed through a cave. There is enough space between the rocky ceiling of the cave and the crystal clear water for visitors to swim freely without having to hold their breath or use scuba diving gear.

 The feeling that you get when you reach this haven of tranquility and natural beauty is just wonderful. It is believed that ‘holes’ like this were formed during the early 1900s, when intensive military testing activities were conducted on these uninhabited islands. We are very happy that the damage was reduced to only a few caves, and that now people can enjoy the site without affecting it any further.

Happy Thanksgiving Mi Amigos!

Did you know they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Italy?

That was a joke. You do know that, right? I'm not an idiot. I swear. :o)

I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving and you get to spend it with some awesome people. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend today with any of my family or my husband so that was kind of crappy. But I got to be with some good friends and Lucy was being super cute all day long. Which is always a plus. In fact she's half laying on my computer as I type this. It's bed time here.

Now I know turkey is the Thanksgiving staple, along with stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and I'm sure a whole bunch of other things, that are just going to make my mouth water and not accomplish anything other than lending to the length of this sentence, but I didn't have any of that. We may have a belated Thanksgiving on Sunday, but I'm not sure? We'll see how the schedule goes. We're very busy around here.

So instead we spent our Thanksgiving another way. Immortalizing another culture by way of food. Mexico, you deserve a round of applause.

Thanksgiving Fajitas!

Today was so un-Thanksgiving-like that I decided to put up some Christmas decorations as well. Normally this waits until at least the day after but I had nothing to do today. So why not? Plus I'm going on a little girls trip tomorrow. Can't be bothered with decorating when I have Slovenia to see!!

Love covering up that TV.

Our hutch. Yes, that's an old banana and a kiwi. Not exactly Christmas fruit. Maybe next time!
