Brushed by hurricane Rick




Last night Debbie were woken up by howling winding and surging surf. About 3:30 am we got up and looked out the deck. The winds were 65 mph and the waves were just crashing in. It wasn't raining then just blowing.

In the morning we rented a car and drove up into the Sierra Madre mountains to the little town of San Sebastian. We got lost a couple of times on the way, but with my poor Spanish and some english from a truck driver we found the turn off to this quaint mountain town.

We had some rain there, but had lunch and toured the town and came back down. When we got to Puerto Vallarta it was a toruential rain. The roads in some places were like rivers and I doubted the little car were we driving would make it through. We make out fine. No wrecks and found the new Costco and the new walmart. Then off to Fajita Republic for dinner. By dinner the rain had quit and the skies cleared. I'm going to play golf again in the moring.

Hope the weahter stays nice now the storm is over.

Hope it is over before the "sisters" arrive. They don't like as much excitement as you guys do.
