One of the things we really enjoyed about Puerto Vallarta was the wildlife.

We saw some really cool duck-like birds.  Mom, dad, and a whole ton of babies decided to swim in our hotel swimming pool one day.

We also loved watching the iguanas.  There were old grumpy ones, and young rambunctious ones, and very little ones.  And, yes, they too swam in the hotel swimming pool (and pooped on the side of the pool, which was beyond gross).  Some of them would even eat fruit right out of your hand.

The old patriarch (or matriarch, I’m really not sure how to tell).  Check out those claws.

A tiny, little guy.  Not sure if it was a baby or just a smaller variety.

The frigates gliding through the sky were amazing to watch.  Sadly, they are pretty much impossible to photograph with my camera.

And, don’t even get me started on the pelicans.  They are the most awkward birds ever, but I love watching them.

The underwater life was pretty spectacular too.

Now, we just need to come back when the whales are here….and then hopefully we can find the dolphins too.
