Good Monday Morning,
This week's MMP is a special Sayulita wedding edition.
Chelsey, the boys, and I hopped on a plane on Thursday and flew to Puerto Vallarta. From there we drove about 45 minutes north to Sayulita to celebrate the fact that Kate the Great agreed to marry my brother.
Sayulita is a funky surf town nestled into a beautiful bay on the Riveria Nayarit. We ate street tacos, oogled giant iguanas perched in trees, played at the beach, and in the pool.
We stayed at the amazing Villa Amor hotel, perched at the top of the mountain over Sayulita's gorgeous bay. Our views were incredible. We drove golf carts up and down the mountain to breakfast. We swung on a swing over our patio. We enjoyed amazing service, good food, and a few too many Pacificos.
It was an action packed weekend that culminated with an amazing wedding on Saturday night.
The ceremony was fantastic. The boys and I made their way down the aisle without a stumble. Cha-cha did an incredible job as officiant. His 3rd go at the job. The vows exchanged between Rob and Kate were honest, beautifully written, and left not a single dry eye in the house.
The reception was unlike any I'd ever been to. It was held outside our beautiful villa, on a giant brick patio. The food was great. The conversation was fantastic. So many laughs.
Seeing cousins from both sides of the family raise a shot of tequila to Rob & Kate was a small highlight among many for me.
With dinner done, and dancing begun, so came the rain.
Not just a sprinkle; an almost-equatorial, torrential, down pour.
It was welcome relief from the heat and humidity and didn't stop the party one bit. In fact, I'm pretty sure it upped everyone's enthusiasm as the dance floor erupted when the rain arrived. Shirts were shed, tossed up on to the overhanging light strings, and the dancing continued.
Fun was had by all.
We wrapped up with brunch. The boys squeezed in a couple more hours of pool time with their aunties and cousins. Then we hopped on a plane home.
Today, here at my desk, I'm completely exhausted, bug still smiling.
Have a great week. I hope that the love that was so abundant this weekend reaches you through these photos.
We are very, very lucky.
Mike

Luckily there weren't that many people around to gawk at us and our enormous fly netting.

Tiger Stadium - Detroit, MI
September 28, 2007
The stadium was recently vandalized and in the background, beyond the netting, you can see that some of the Ds have been cut from the seat backs. Shame.
Taken in Brussels, Belgium in October 2019. These workers were updating some kind of structure but the colors grabed me. It turned out that each of the workers were in a diagonal line.
Wonderful rope… I also see it as a symbol of how, in a good relationship, you as a person, together with your partner, your lives become 'intertwined' and therefore so much stronger...
Some people call this 'sea-clutter', left on the quayside. Me, I call it beautiful shaped ART object, aahh, the madness of the photographer!!!
Again taken in Scarborough during the Golden Hour.
Thanx for your comments and visits, M, (*_*)

Everything was dewy and bejeweled this morning after the rain. We have had a lot of it and everything is green and lush.

I've had enough bad luck this trip (today I just blew the power supply on a desktop machine by plugging it in before switching to 220 volt. Poof. I'm glad the case adequately contained the minor explosion. This was a developer machine I needed to replace the laptop machine which was missing when I finally recovered my luggage. Other people on the team are changing their flights to avoid whatever mishap occurs on my trip to Cape Town) so now I'm even being careful to put mosquito netting around my laptop.
