To our Friends,


Eric and Nicole, who were recently married and are spending their honeymoon in Puerto Vallerta. Eric has had big dreams of being featured on this blog, and this is his lucky entry. Now all the world is seeing him.


We traveled this past week to Puerto Vallerta to spend an evening with Eric and Nicole. During our time with them we visited Huichol art stores, where there are numerous works of art made from colorful beads and yarn by this local indigenous group. We traveled south by bus toward Mismaloya, the site where The Night of the Iguana was filmed, which helped put Puerto Vallerta on the map. Just before reaching Mismaloya we stopped to swim at Playa Gemelos, a pretty and quiet little beach with strong waves and white sand.
It was terrific to have a bit of Roanoke in Mexico for a few days, and we were quite glad to spend time with one the of the first friends we made in Roanoke, and to get to know his new wife Nicole even better. They are off to a happy start to their life together and we wish them the very best. Thanks for letting us crash your honeymoon for a few days you two.

Wow, I finally made it on Missy's Web site! This is the coolest thing ever! For my 15 minutes of fame I'd like to thank members of the academy as well as Josh and Missy for coming over to see us. It was great to see you in Puerto Vallarta. Perhaps once we're all retired or have a lot of extra time on our hands a group of friends could rent a house there for a week or two, now that would be fun! Or if I still miss the place as much in a year as I do now, I'll just buy a condo there to retire and invite everyone to stay with us. Thanks for the honor of being on your blog Ms Warp!
