Some of our snaps of Yelapa so you'll know what to expect, only expect even better. Add to this scene perfect warm air, the sounds of the sea, squaking and singing birds, a chorus of frogs at night, and nary the sound of a motor or honking horn.  Did I mention the sky full of stars at night?  

 Casa Coco.  The view is amazing, but it's a bit of a hike from the village.  Photo: Emily Hoyer

 Our Casa Coco mascot Jacaranda hosted so many birds.  Tropical birds were designed by the same guy who designed tropical fish, apparently.

 Ms. Hoyer tucks into a fresh passion fruit margarita.  Or two.  Best cocktail ever, probably designed by the tropical birds guy.

 Bonnie and Emily on the path from Casa Coco to the village.  If you were there you'd hear the waves. And the birds.

 The main beach with restaurants that feature chaises as well as tables.  No shoes, no shirt, no problem.  Just bring a few pesos and a good book.  And a swimsuit, of course.

 Crafts party at Cafe Bahia.  I made a jellyfish ornament for the Xmas tree.  Had to try it on first.  Don we now our gay apparel. Photo: Emily Hoyer

 That's Hotel Lagunitas in the background.  Our 2nd favorite breakfast and our favorite beach hangout.  Grab a palapa and spend the day. Bring your i-pad...free WiFi.  

Emily could give you the name of this exotic beast, but I'll just call him mr. woodpecker, sir.
