Fiestas






I don't do Fiestas.
I learned some time ago that the Mexican Buffet looks great. Pretty much all tastes good. I eat too much and invariably get sick. I have, however learned how to sneak down at our condo on fiesta night and enjoy the show.

Mountain Jungle





Puerta Vallarta lies along the Bay of Bonderas, the second largest bay in the world, and along the jungle mountains of the western Sierra Madres. Yesterday we visited a large Botanical Gardens and today walked up a great distance to a small private gardens with a great little restaurant by a river. Many Many birds. Nice people along the way.

PVR pole flyes




On nice days like today, when the cruise ships are in, young men in native costume climb a pole and fly down.

Puerto Vallarta Sculpture

Mexicans love their sculpture. Some make sense. Some do not. They push your imagination.
