Puerto Vallarta Day 2

Day Two

Today is the day that we went swimming with the dolphins. We were really excited about going and doing this. Especially me... who felt a little out of her comfort zone but was also eager to try something new and different and something out of my comfort zone.


As soon as we were boated over to the pool area the dolphins were at I could start to feel the nerves in my stomach. Tammy felt them a little too. We were in a group of 6. The other 4 people were also from Texas...small world.


Now it was time to get in the water and get a little familiar with the dolphin. Our dolphin was female. She's the youngest of the group. Her name is Nouba. She swam around us a lot while we got to rub her. She danced in circles and so did we. Now it was time one on one.

Here I am giving Nouba a hug

Kisses from Nouba for me

and for Tammy

and now it's my turn


Now it's time for the belly swim

This was the coolest swim of them all and then it was over. It was really the most coolest thing. If you ever go some where and this activity is offered...by all means...DO IT!!!


After the dolphin swim was over there was a Sea Lion waiting for us as we all got out of the water. Though the pictures were expensive...when do you get the chance to not only swim with dolphins but have a Sea Lion greet you with a kiss. Very cool!


SMOOCH!!!!!!


After the dolphin swim we ordered our pictures...well actually we just bought the CD of all our pictures and then headed back to the hotel. We headed to the beach. Man was it hot. We were going to head to the pool and then Tammy decided to get her hair beaded by Lucy. She was a lady vendor that beaded hair and sold jewelry. Of course I bought a baby necklace for my grand daughter that will be here in December.


After Tammy's hair beading we headed to the pool to cool off and just relax. We ended up just sitting in the pool and having a few drinks. Before we knew it 3 hours had passed. We decided to call it a night.


Tomorrow I will post day 3 and 4...Until then...

OMG! This looks like so much fun! But I have to ask the question, did Tammy's head sunburn after the hair braiding? That would hurt.

Yes...she got sun on her head but it wasn't burned where it would hurt...We did buy her a bandana to cover her head when out in the sun. And the dolphins...so cool...everyone should try it...I want to do it again!
