Goodbye Puerto Vallarta
Heading to the gym, treadmill with an ocean view. The boat just pulled in ..it's another boat day. Will cleanup, check out and a final tequila y cervesa at the airport.
It was fun traveling alone. It was freeing, will speak better Spanish next time, practice for a couple weeks before I come. Food was good, weather amazing, sights fabulous.
Things I didn't get to do that I wanted to...hmmm what a good reason to come again.
Bus headed South to Boca de Tomatlan W/ Water Taxi back
Zooligica de Puerto Vallarta
Dinner at the River Cafe
It's another beautiful day, even to leave. Good bye Puerto Vallarta

Last trip to town
It was a very hot day today by the pool ...and the ocean. Beautiful. I'm sitting by the bar drinking my favorite Be Light grapefruit water,...sin calorias. Writing a bit before headed downtown.
Swimming in the ocean was wonderful. I'm going to try in the morning before I leave.
I'm not sure that I have an objective...going to town. Not wanting to buy anything.....dinner later on the malecon.

The Hotel Review
The people at this hotel come for weeks at a time. The food service is tasty, the waitstaff pretty good, the hotel staff ok. Average age probably 45, few kids..mostly grandparents with kids.
Good family place or get away. The beach is small, but perfect for swimming and floating..not the best for all day relaxing...the pool area is nice, wi fi in the pool area for 120 pesos a day ($10).

Amazing...sitting here with the ocean ...listening to music...riding the bus.... I could have stayed for 3 or 4 weeks too.
Gardens (very little) are well kept and pretty. The hotel is built like all hotels in this area....into he mountain...the windy beach road is right above the hotel....but the ocean is very strong and pleasant so you don't notice the road..and the mountains are amazing..lush and green.
My cute 1 bedroom apartment is fun. The guests for the most part have been here many times and love Vallarta, which makes it very nice.

Last Day
It's my last day and night.
Yesterday...I spent about 3 hours sitting on the beach in front of the hotel..swam in the ocean. People brought floaties, and I thought of a floaty..just a little tube is nice. Had ceviche for lunch..yum..very good ceviche in Vallarta. I'm never let down. The salsa Mexicana was very good too. The tomatoes and cilantro and sweetness of the onion here is amazing...squirt of lime and a chile.
I had a 50 min massage 2 days ago . $37 @ the Playa de los Arcos spa. This hotel is right on the beach barely north of the boat pier. They always have expedia 5 day deals there for $500 w/ air.
The massage was great. May go back today, haven't decided.
Had shrimp and fish on the beach. Met mi amiga's from the playa. Adelpha and the fish vendor lady, didn't get a photo of her husband. Raul the waiter as always at Langostinas.
I finished they day on the beach with a bag full of pecans and almosts in freshly made brittle. .....see photo..from a street vendor. Then walked down the malecon and had a cup of corn con mayonaisa, y chile, y limon, y queso. It was a good day.

AKs
Always the police with thier AK's...and this time all their faces were covered with masks..yes like the burgler type...Mexico is always exciting.
Starbucks en el Centro
So I spend about an hour in Starbucks en el Centro late morning, early afternoon. Starbucks is just like home. There is free internet, code on your receipt. It's cruise ship day, so lots more americans, but plenty of local people on line. There is another coffee shop, El Pago en el Sol, A page in the sun in el zona romantica...good people watching.
Some other beautiful things ...Statue at sunset last night.
