Puerta Vallarta - Day One

We made it into Puerta Vallarta just fine, but tired. I don´t think anyone slept well on Saturday night, but we still got up early and went out into the city. First I took some pictures from the apartament. Above is one view from the balcony.
We went out for lunch at a resaurant on the beach, walked around town a little bit, changed into our swimsuits, and went back to the beach.



Every few minutes vendors walked up and down the beach selling dresses, necklaces, skewers... They´re very persistant, but we were able to fend them off. We actually spent a little too much time out in the sun yesterday, especially since we walked everywhere. Grocery shopping was also an experience. The prices on some products, like apples, are higher than in the US, and some things you simply can´t find (fresh orange juice). We´re going to start cooking for ourselves now that we´re settled in a little bit. Since Shelly isn´t taking a class, she´s going to make up a menu for us to work from.

Some random photos from our walk:

This will become a design for an afghan, for whenever I can crochet again.


Sand art.



There are old VW bugs everywhere, and a couple that I want to photograph because they´ve been repurposed in some funny ways!

And for the record, my cell phone doesn´t work!

I need to find some lunch and get back to class, but I´ll update again in a couple of days... ¡Hasta luego!
