Puerto Vallarta by bus

Today in Puerto Vallarta Michael and I took the bus into the city.  We found the blue and white bus and hopped on for 6 pesos, about $.50.  If you take a cab it runs about $5.00 each.  The route takes you along the beach and past many of the hotels on the beach.  These are not the all –inclusive resorts many tourists prefer but they are the closest to the town itself, if you like to eat locally. We got off at the river, which is at the south end of town and walked back toward the ship.  Puerto Vallarta has a wide malecon (boardwalk) with a lot of sculpture and tons of stores.  The town itself is very crowded with winter tourists so it is not easy to navigate the narrow sidewalks, back off the malecon, but the streets have some great restaurants and shops.  Several artisanal markets occupy corners but I was more drawn to the individual boutiques along the street.  Again I need to return alone so I can spend some time delving into them. The cathedral is smack dab in the center of the city, surrounded by commercial real estate of all kinds.  It is one of those things were you can’t see it until you are in front of it.  We have received several restaurants and we probably won’t be able to get to more than a couple but the Blue Shrimp and Oscars are 2 on the list.  I will report on the tasting experiences when they happen

Counting

An emerging purple sunrise lit my rearview mirror as I drove west in silence. We like to leave early for our family road trips, and we usually have a rule that no one is allowed to talk until 7 a.m

How to Prevent a GPS From Falling Off the Windshield

You’re driving along, minding your own business, when your GPS unit suddenly annuls its marriage to the windshield.  It crashes into the dashboard, slides into the door, high-fives your passenger and bounces on the floor. Your GPS is not broken; but, it will be the next time it startles, then attacks your passenger again.

Taxis in Amman

(07.12.2009) Most of the taxis that I’ve ridden in during my stay in Amman have been wonderful.  The drivers have held conversation with me despite the enormous language barriers.  Even with the difficulties they never showed signs of frustration.
