We just returned from a wonderful week in Huatulco, Mexico at Villa Pacifico with our friends, Tim and Pam from Fort Worth, Texas. Carlos was at the airport to pick us up and take us quickly to the Villa, our friends Rebecca and Hugo were waiting to greet us and make us feel at home. Quickly we changed into our swimsuits, jumped in the pool and enjoyed a Margarita. The next day we grabbed a taxi to spend the day at the beach called La Entrega. Snorkeling along the rocks we took Pam into the "Cave" and to a small secluded beach, while Tim played his guitar on the beach and enjoyed a cold cervasa.
Monday morning we met our fishing charter boat (panga) at Santa Cruz Marina and left the harbor at sunrise for a day of deep sea fishing. We caught two Mahi Mahi and two big Sailfish, had a great day even if the panga was a bit small and had no bathroom. A real Mexican adventure..... fishing with Jesus on the White Shark!!! Rebecca grilled the Mahi Mahi that night for supper. Tuesday we relaxed at the Villa....lounging by the pool, reading in the hammock under the palapa, listening to Tim play, and swimming at the beach below the Villa. Wednesday Carlos picked us up for a tour of an old coffee plantation and a wonderful waterfall up in the Sierra Madre mountains. The waterfall was breathtaking and even if the water was a bit chilly, alright it was cold, but we had a ball! Swinging on ropes, jumping off the rocks and even climbing behind the falls. A Oaxacan lunch was served in the old plantation dining room and we toured the old coffee plantation. It was a full day, but we enjoyed every minute. Thursday we rented the car from the Villa, went into La Crucecita for some shopping at the Mercado, and a light lunch at Pollo Imperial. Driving down the coast we stopped and enjoyed a cold beer at Barra de la Cruz and La Bocana, both surfing beaches. That evening we had dinner at our friend, Juan's restaurant the Kristal Rose in La Crucecita......we left stuffed. Friday morning Carlos picked us up for a trip to a secluded beach, San Augustin....it was a long, long, long, bumpy ride. We had the whole beach to ourselves most of the day. A few rain showers from hurricane Rick kept us under the big palapa part of the day at La Casa del Abuelo, where we had a wonderful lunch. Tim entertained us with his guitar while Dale laid claim to a hammock. Pam and I enjoyed playing in the waves with two young Mexican girls.....trying to ride the waves like kids. Saturday arrived to soon and it was time to pack after breakfast. Rebecca sent us to the airport after a "light" lunch , our final meal at the Villa. Carlos picked us up, we said our goodbyes and soon we were on our Continental flight to Houston.
We had a great week in Huatulco at Villa Pacifico. Seeing all our old friends, enjoying lots of laughs, seeing new beautiful sights, wonderful meals and making lots of great memories.
