Sitting in the van enjoying a Star Bucks cappucino! After a relatively good windy and twisty drive (just over 3 hours) we had lunch at the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens A.C www.vallartabotanicalgardensac.org Thanks Frank & Rita for the great suggestion. We stocked up at Sam’s (cream Tequilla) and Wal-Mart and found camping at Tacho’s Trailer Park (290 pesos) – - Are we in Quebec?? We then found a perfect parking in the old town on the ocean front and had a wonderful walk along the beach. Busy gringo city for sure! We saw lots of beautiful sculptures, sand scupltures, 4 guys climbed up a pole, coming down tied by the foot, spinning, head down, playing their flutes – pretty cool, buskers and all. We found a great restaurant off the main drag Tia Catrina (very good but a few corrections required on the bill). A little bit of Tequilla tasting at Casa Cofrada – The Factory Store – Paul enjoyed the most expensive at $100/bottle – Frank & Jonathan – check this out: www.casacofradia.com. Saw beautiful art made of Aguava paper. Lots of good shopping around here but no space!! Enough of the BIG city, we are off to VW dealership, will check out Nuevo Vaillarta and work our way up the coast – destination?? Hasta luego, Linda & Paul
