We've been here for 9 days and really starting to settle in. La Cruz is definitely more of a little mexican village than Ajijic. It does seem much more simple, and less geared for gringos Lots of opportunity to practice my bad Spanish! That being said there is a little pocket of gringos here. There are a handful of nice restaurants and bars geared for us visitors. We've tried several and they've been excellent. But we're most excited to try the more Mexican restaurants here in town, just haven't had the opportunity as of yet.

Happy Bday Matt! Almost catching up with me!

For Matt's birthday dinner we went to Frascati's, one of the most popular restaurant for the gringos here in town. It was good pasta (freshly made in-house) and a pretty little spot, but seemed a bit overpriced. Not sure we'll be back.
Friday we decided to check out surrounding beaches. We first drove to Punta de Mita and immediately were assaulted with vendors trying to sell us boat tours, and we hadn't even left our car. We decided to move on. The next stop was Sayulita; I've heard this is a town favored by the young as it's a great surfing beach, and definitely a fun, funky little town. First thing we saw when we pulled into town was a guy jogging with a water bottle balanced on top of his head - don't ask me how. So definitely think the funky was going strong in this little pueblo. There were lots of restaurants, bars and shop that looked like they would be fun to poke around in. Well, we couldn't find a place to park. Drove around and around and no available spot appealed to Matt. So we decided to drive on to San Pancho (which sometimes is referred to as San Francisco). This ended up being a lovely stop. No problem finding parking and the beach is beautiful. Maybe not a good swim beach, but it has some mild waves and a handful of beginner surfers to watch. We had lunch and a wonderful bloody mary at a beach front restaurant and watched the kids surf. Not much else was happening in this little village, just a few shops, but definitely worth the trip.
While I was going through pics, I came across a few good picks from our trip back to KC.
