Mexico

The final post about Sayulita!  You can see all our photos from the trip online here. Our hotel was so lovely!  Villa Amor is the larger/fancier hotel in town.  Our room got moved at the last minute, which stressed me out, but the result was an upgrade to a suite (Villa Serena) with a kitchen,…
