San Carlos

Last month we were invited to go with some friends to San Carlos, Mexico.  We rented a condo on the beach and had so much fun!  



On Saturday we went out on a boat for some deep sea fishing.  It was a great ride- we saw marlin and flying fish jumping, a sea turtle, lots of dolphins, Dave even saw a whale!  Dave caught a nice tuna that came back a few hours later as civeche for lunch- talk about fresh seafood!



We dis some snorkeling in this little bay- I saw some beautiful tropical fish near the shore, and at one point was floating over a whole school of silver fish.  The water was so warm and the bay was beautiful!


I think it's pretty much required to get some variation of this picture if you vacation in Mexico.


That, my friends, is a tentacle.  Which I ate.  I went way outside of my comfort zone since I am not normally a seafood person, but it was really good!  It was so fresh and well seasoned-mmmmm!



The kids just had so much fin on the beach.  They were sandy beaches with tons of shells and warm, warm water.  Did I mention that the water was warm?  The kids would just sit on the shore and let the waves roll them over.


It was a great adventure!
