As we trundled down the dark road, Savannah, Tom, and Ivan started wondering if we were taking them on a joy ride. Taking the piss as we call it in the UK :-)....but the road to Villa Del Mar is not paved and at dark time it can be really quite scary. Not to worry, we arrived at the villas at around 10:00 pm PV time. The lights were on, Peggy was there and we were all checked in to our cabanas in due time. We had brought with us a couple of coolers full of ale and cheese and wine and bread. After everyone was settled we met at the front of a cabana and tucked in. We were all of us very excited about the next days ahead..and what amazing days they were.

Since our last trip down and discovering the turtles and Casis` mission we felt compelled to do something. Something good. Something that would make a difference. So we pinged some people that we know and asked them if they would like to take part in a first step toward helping Casi. What we needed was a wildlife photographer ( Ivan ) , a videoographer ( Tom ) , some helpers to put up fencing and do the grunt work, ( Savannah and I ) and a project manager who would keep the ball rolling ( Michael ). Once schedules were sorted and flights were arranged, we arrived in Puerto Vallarta. We met Tom and Savannah at the areoport and Michael went off to secure the van. We would need this to transport all of our gear and the materiels that Casi had requested.  What he needed was shade cloth to cover the enclosures and steel fencing that would keep the dogs and other creatures out as his old enclosures were riddled with holes, as we would be building new ones. So at about 6:00 PM PV time we started down the road to Villa Del Mar.
