Our 3rd At Sea Day

Hello Everyone!
First off thanks for checking on the pups mom! A few days away certainly makes me grateful for all of the days I have with them. Yesterday was a full day in Huatulco Mexico! Wow we thought Alcapulco was amazing (which it was) this place was insane! Very possibly the most beautiful places we have been. The thing that's great about Huatulco is that it is relatively unspoiled. Unfortunately the Mexican government has decided it will be the next big Mexican tourist hot spot...hopefully they won't build it up too much. We arrived in Santa Cruz and were stunned by the breathtaking mountains that surrounded it. Truly incredible...I can't wait to post pictures because there really isn't any way to describe it. We went on a land and sea tour which began with a motor coach tour of the surrounding area and a shopping stop. We then boarded a "party" boat which took us around to some of Huatulco's bays. There are quite a few beaches here that are just empty and can only be reached by boat. Vacation heaven! After our 4-5 hour tour we shopped around Santa Cruz and had some Queso Enchiladas at a waterfront restaurant. Oh and of course had some more Corona's!
Today was a relaxing day at sea. We took a wine seminar on how the type of wine glass can effect the taste of a wine...amazing! We also went to a lecture on Ecotourism in Costa Rica. Seas have been a bit rough the past 24 hours. Cabinets in the bathroom actually opened and shut a bit during the night. Overall not too bad though. We are sailing off the coast of Nicaragua as I write and are set to arrive in Costa Rica tomorrow morning at 7am. We are planning to travel to Monte Verde National Park where we will walk through the cloud forest, visit the butterfly and insect museum, etc. There is about a 2 hour ride to the parks from our port but we have found that the bus rides are great for Ethan. He naps through them which is wonderful because he doesn't want to miss anything when we are walking around and forces himself to stay awake. He is such a good baby and we are simply having the vacation of a lifetime with him. :-)
I will probably wait until Saturday (day at sea) to post again and will be sure to include some pictures. We have a long day tomorrow and will surely head to bed early!
Hugs and kisses to all! Kristen and John hug Ava for us we miss her and can't wait to hold her next week!
Just think guys we still have a week of traveling left!
Hope all is well! My email is being checked again so email me if you need to!
