My husband and I had to escape those cold lines of winter and headed south to Puerto Vallarta where we celebrated my birthday. We left at just the right time as it became quite cold here in Denver.

We watched people on beaches and wandered beach towns near Puerto Vallrta. I spent a great day sketching and watching in Sayulita. Also it was the celebration of Our Lady of Guadelupe and there were nightly processions to the Cathedral in the center of Puerto Vallarta. It's a striking building and I was able to spend a few moments sketching both here and on the Puerto Vallarta beach on Sunday.
