It’s Thanksgiving Week. Lisa and I are taking a moment to ourselves and enjoying the warmth and sunshine that’s available a few hours’ flight to our south on Mexico’s Pacific Coast.

We’re staying for the week at the Vidanta resort just outside of Puerto Vallarta. It’s maybe a bit more on the luxury resort side of things than our typical taste, but what the heck … we’ll enjoy it while we’re here.

The nightlife at the resort was much fun. We especially enjoyed the sand animation as performed by this artist one evening:
