yelapa waterfall
In all my years of traveling to Yelapa, I'd never even attempted a "silky waterfall" picture. No clue why. All of a sudden - after 20-some years - it dawned on me that's about the only picture I haven't taken here.

peyote flowers
They're not really peyote; they ARE poisonous, however. Or hallucinogens. Something like that.

Free kitten. I told him "I can't eat a whole one." Just kidding - but I did ask to take a picture.

yelapa iguana
I snuck this picture unbeknownst to the owner; normally it's 10 pesos per picture :)

frigate feeding
A fishing boat was cleaning fish and throwing the "leftovers" to the birds - this frigate got away with this big carcass but didn't have the strength to take it very far. He dropped it right after I snapped this shot.

max figured out how to get 5 minutes' respite (from chatterbox): stuff a lollipop in her mouth!

max (triumphant) & sophia
a lollipop works wonders to silence a loquacious 5-year-old!

zada in chocolate milk
zada loves puddles. sophia decided she was drinking "chocolate milk" so was very excited every time it happened (which was a lot)

sophia mimicking auntie sarah
on the last ride i looked over to see sophia mimicking how i was holding my reins :)

look ma, no hands
i laid my reins over the horn to catch some pictures of her and sophia decided that's how she should ride, too :)
