Every morning after breakfast Ken and I amble leisurely around the grounds. You would think that walking the same route would be boring to us as normally our instinct is to take a different path, but here at The Vallarta Palace we discover something new every day. Today was no exception. A topiary made of a cradle complete with baby inside and a handle was new to us. It was not new, we just did not notice.
Topiary is a big deal here. We had noticed them out front walking by and Ken had taken many pictures, but inside the grounds you see them everywhere, even when you don't really notice, until you look carefully. The foliage is lush and grows quickly so they must be trimmed regularly but it is amazing in the variety. You see hats and elephants and caterpillars and centipedes and everything their fancy has taken them. Everywhere you look you see something you missed yesterday.
In addition, all the plantings are named with a sign in four languages so every morning we learn a few more names of the plants. Every morning we walk the same path, seeing different things than we saw yesterday. How does this happen? I know nothing has really changed but our eyes light on different objects. It is very nice.
