Our 33-days are up and we're moving down the coast from Puerto Vallarta early tomorrow morning. The time seems to have passed quickly but on the other hand we have really come to know this place well. The rental condo has been so comfortable and private yet with a spectacular view day or night. The climate couldn't be better ---- warm breezy tropical nights and bright sunny days (if you like that sort of thing!). This town has really grown on us, on the list for a future longstay for sure.
Life goes on. On our walk today we passed a familiar sight ---- an Education Fair trying to recruit students to various colleges, just like we used to do in our Seneca careers. And the unfamiliar ---- guys with guitars jumping on buses to make a few pesos singing "Stand By Me" (appropriate for the passengers in the aisle!). The picture is fuzzy because the buses lurch and bang over the rough cobblestones. Ah, Vallarta!
So we're packing today --- no less stuff than when we arrived but no more either. In the morning we'll get on the Primera Plus bus to Manzanillo, joining the other colourful locals. Tonight a last stroll with the human circus on the malecon, and a last free sample of coconut shrimp. We arrived to fireworks, we're leaving to fiery sunset. Stay tuned...
