Hurricane Beatriz

Just as I finished talking about the first Pacific Hurricane of the 2011 season, the next one creapt up very suddenly and was already making its impact in Acapulco, Zihuatenejo, and Manzanillo.  Heavy rains down south even though the hurricane now called Beatriz was making its way up the coast.  We got close as hurricane warnings stretched all the way up to Cabo Corrientes (Mayto Beach).  Waiting for its impact as it got closer, started out with a steady rain on Monday morning and all of a sudden just after lunch it stopped and the sky became clearer and clearer.
When I looked up the hurricane track, Beatriz had taken a sharp left turn out to sea.  No impact here although it started our summer rainy season and we now see rain almost daily as it should be!  Welcome back to the green forests and jungles of the hills.  It is so beautiful!

The Weather

While I know most of you are freezing your you know what's off...here in Puerto Vallarta it has been very pleasant. The last few days have been cloudy though which is unsual for this time of year, but at least the temperatures remain in the 80's during the day. The humdity is around 50-70% this time of year vs. the 90-100% humidity we will have in the summer months. Now is the best time of year to visit us, as the weather really does not get any better.
This weekend looks to clear up and I am sure I will head to the beach sometime!!
