Actually I don't get this at all, but I'm posting it because
Disney + fashion = I can't help myself...

I'm not a fan of the stylized drawings of the famous people's caricatures - not appealing at all, and poorly animated. And though some are recognizable, thank goodness they provide captions at the end to explain who is who.

Returned home today from an awesome trip with my dad & Marcia to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - a fun place to visit, extra colorful right now during recent Day of the Dead ("Dia de los Muertos") celebrations... But more than anything, it was great to share so much time with family. (more photos to come :)))

Vallarta Adventures - we survived!

This was last Monday... We went on an amazing "outdoor adventure excursion", via Vallarta Adventures - We arrived at a remote location via speed boat, then rode donkeys over treacherous mountain terrain up to higher areas, then zip-lined and repelled through the jungles of the Sierra Madre! Unfortunately they don't allow you to take your own camera - instead you can buy photos taken by their staff, packages at $100+ which we opted not to do :( So, these are the only photos we have: sites we saw on our way to & from the activities (including a ride Tim & I hitched on the company "unimog" to get home afterwards). But we have great memories - It was awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone going to Puerto Vallarta!
(um, no - I'm not wearing a fake nose in the photo below):

PV - Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos)

A street festival we attended to celebrate this traditional Mexican holiday, with free performances given by local dancing groups and others. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling 100% and I was self-conscious about using my camera too often... But now as I watch these clips I wish I had video-ed the entire show - the dancers were fantastic!
