May 2018

 May was our month in Mexico….. Puerto Vallarta!

At the LA Airport waiting for our flight….

We stayed the first week at an all-inclusive resort – Fiesta Americana

There were 12 of us – all together to celebrate Pat Shinavar’s

70^th birthday.  We all took a trip to “Los Muertos” Brew Pub.

Mike loved it!

The pool, the drinks, the food- all of it was fantastic!

Pat with her birthday flowers!

Mike went parasailing…….Serena and Rollie also went –

All of them had a super time!

Downtown Puerto Vallarta is great –

the old part of town has so much charm.

We all went on a “Luxury Snorkeling Trip”

If you look closely, Rollie is getting close to letting the seal

“Sexy Rexy” give him a kiss.

All 12 of us…… what fun!

Night time at the resorts in Puerto Vallarta is almost magical.

After one week, our friends all left.  Mike and I

moved over to Vallarta Torre (we stayed there last year too)

We love it there – feels like home.

One day we took the city bus up to Bucerias – a  town
north of Puerto Vallarta

Many open air shops, a nice beach.  A fun day.

Vallarta Torre – our home away from home.

(for 2 weeks)

Dinner one night at our favorite….. Pipi’s.

The Marina Vallarta is fabulous…… yachts from

All over the world

Dinner at “Victors” on the waterfront.

A HUGE alligator lazily swimming thru the boats…..

Another day, we took the city bus up to Sayulita. 

Very busy town…… many, many north americans…

many, many surfers, many, many souvenir shops

Very touristy cute little town… Sayulita

Another day we took the city bus as far as it would go south.

A little fishing village Boca de Tomatlon.

We took a Mexican cooking class…… what fun. 
After shopping at the local market, we went to the chef’s home

where we made 2 kinds of salsa,

guacamole, tortilla soup and
the most wonderful Chili Rellenos. 

Downtown Puerto Vallarta – in the Zona Romantica

Nice area……

What a beautiful colorful tree growing
in the middle of the road.

Yet another day, we took the city bus to Punta Mita.

Another sleepy fishing village until

folks found about it.  Now the homes sell for 1 – 3 million.

A cruise ship coming in to the Puerto Vallarta harbor.

We both love Mexico and had so much fun there.

Now we are back in Indio.  Tomorrow we head north. 

Can’t wait to see the kids and grandkids!
