Plans, plans, plans

So even though I'm looking forward to a reading vacation, its obvious that from time to time we're going to have to leave our ship and explore exotic locations, quaint villages, heart stopping nature, and unusual natives.
So we pulled up the list of shore excursions available from the Princess Coral, trimmed our first picks down to a few dozen together, then pored over the semi-finalists for our faves.
These, dear friend were the top five winners and the ones that will punctuate our reading orgy...
Number One- Viva Tequila and Taco Tasting!  Which, in addition to visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mexico's, lovely cathedral and natural setting (and taking a photo op with a 10' seahorse statue topped with a naked cowboy) you get to sip the perfect margarita and make tortillas. salsas, quesadillas and tacos. At the end, we get Certificates of Experienced Tequila Tasters and they'll bring on the dancing girls. 
This was David's top pick, and how could I resist?

Number Two- Rural  Communities and Traditions! We start this one with a tortilla and tamale making session in verdant Huatalco, Mexico. after which we head out to banana and citrus plantations, wander through a medicinal plant garden and watch the locals weave their wares.

Now that your appetite's whetted for adventure. I'll continue with the final three (but not the least- and including my person favorite) selections.

I'll also figure out how to correct this posting glitch!



Bon Voyage- almost!
