When Aaste was a baby, we spent a week here in Puerto Vallarta. She was fascinated by the flocks of pelicans that regularly flew by our 11th floor balcony. I noticed this year that the pelicans are few and far between in our little bay.
Mom was telling me that when she first started spending her winters here that people used to sometimes catch yellow fin tuna off the rocks on the beach, and she could see schools of them passing by in the bay fairly regularly. It's been years since anyone saw any yellow fin tuna in this bay.
A few years ago it was projected that within 40 years there will not be any fish left in the oceans. I suppose without fish... there won't be any pelicans either.
This blog chronicles a 10 month period of travel that I took with my 13 year old daughter in 2007/08.
