Hello Again, As the sun sets on the last full day here in Puerto Vallarta, we have had a great time here at Casa Velas. The service is something else and the rum punch is muy bien. Yesterday we took quite the trip via Taxi out to the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens. The photographer came out in me as we hiked the grounds looking at new plants: vanilla, coffee, etc. Butterflies were all over the flowers and were willing to pose for my lens. A wild parrot had made himself at home and was only afraid of one thing - the squirtguns given out by the waiters to the people sitting enjoying the scenery as well as the food. I was in 7th heaven shooting photos of all the flora and fauna. Very enjoyable, other than ... read more

A very good day indeed - wedding planner, tour of wedding site on the beach, tour of the penthouse at his hotel (3500p per night), walk downtown, cervaza at hooter's, lunch at bubba, gump pool, nap, doesn't get much better -- and then later on the beach a romantic dinner with sprinkles from above and sunset from beyond and I will tell you the honest truth - Words cannot describe this day and especially the dinner we just had. Muy Bien!!!!... read more

A really good day as I sign off - We slept really well last night and got to hear and see one heck of a lightning/thunder display. The man/wife peacock family were out on our porch roosting and seemed a bit frightened by it all. We had breakfast at the hotel this morning - I had something with chips, cheese, beans and lobster - very tasty. Dorothy had eggs benedict - pretty good too. This place treats us like royalty. Took a taxi all the way to the "Flea Market" where we shopped for a while buying a few little things from the sales people. Dorothy was a little anxious about "negotiating" deals while I had a field day. Then we walked up town stopping at the Cigar Store where I bought a nice hand rolled ... read more

5 jours sur le Pacifique. Dur dur, mais je vous rassure tout de suite, je suis vivant. J'ai quitte Los Mochis tres rapidement puisque j'y suis reste que 2h, le temps de prendre le bus qui m'a emmene a Puerto Vallarta. Apres 15h de bus, j'arrive dans cette citee balneaire qui se fait investir par les gringos durant la haute saison. Ca se ressent fortement puisque des barres de beton commencent a pousser de plus en plus sur le litoral. Cette ville qui comptait 8000 habitants il y a 30ans en a maintenant 180.000... Je suis reste pour ma part dans un petit hotel de la vieille ville qui a encore beaucoup de charme. Un jour de glande au soleil, puis une jour d'expedition. Je suis parti sur un bateau charge d'Americains et de Mexicains pour ... read more
