It was a three hour excursion and probably just enough time to explore the town. So I grabbed my camera and my hat, headed to the beach and boarded the boat. From the sands of the Las Majahuitas Resort, a place with a wonderful sunset, we pushed off to sea. Next stop Yelapa. The ride […]

Whale Watching and Hearing the Humpback Song
by Craig Zabransky on March 14, 2012 in Destination, Films, Mexico Travel
I circled the day on my (mental) calendar well before I arrived in Puerto Vallarta.
