Yelapa

After snorkeling and eating lunch, we docked at Yelapa, a tiny town nestled on hills surrounded by tropical splendor.  Yelapa is only accessible by boat and is very poor.  We climbed the winding streets, and peered at the houses with their doorless doorways and glassless windows. 





Behind the houses was a beautiful stream winding down the mountain with gorgeous trees and bushes drinking from it.  The people may have been poor in money but they were rich in the beauties of nature.  


As we climbed the streets, the inhabitants of the city displayed their wares hoping we would buy something.  Sadly, Brian and I had no idea we would need cash and has brought very little, expecting to need most of it on our paid shopping excursion we had planned for the next day in Cabo San Lucas.  




When we arrived at the top of the street, a waterfall arose in misty splendor.  




We spent a wonderful time taking pictures and gazing at the falls.  When we got back to the beach we rested in the shade until it was time to board our catamaran for home.  




On the trip to the ship, the crew out did itself, providing wild and crazy entertainment.  After enjoying it for awhile, we went to the back of the boat to enjoy the scenery.  




What a wonderful experience—my very favorite of the entire vacation
