Fooling around on the Malecon

How do like my ears???? Along the Malecon are a number of bronze statues. This is one of them. I am kneeling to place my head at just the right level and the ground is very hard!!!

And here's one for you!!

One Margarita, One Corona and one awesome dessert! at Vitea in PV. We needed a bit of a snack and of course, a little to help wash it down!

Next stop, the Malecon to view two new statues.

this is our little home away from home. Just enough! and cute as can be. See the little fridge? It is NOT filled with Corona! Just a few bottles. There are two restaurants on site and the food is great. Most is Mexican fare with a few Margaritas thrown in for good measure!

Room with a view

Here is another view from our room. It is just so peaceful here.

PUERTO VALLARTA

Here we are standing in the whirlpool tub on our balcony! We are just enjoying a giggle or two and lounging around doing nothing in particular. It is a clear, hot but breezy, sunny day so we thought that we would just do nothing.

We love this town for whatever reasons. It just feels like home. Our residence for the next week and a bit is a quaint little hotel called Playa Conchas Chinas, with only 20 rooms. Ours is just a nice size with a kitchen, private bathroom and the whirlpool tub on the balcony. Who could ask for more.

We are located about 2.5 km from Old Town PV but the bus service is every 10 minutes and costs only 60 cents each way. Can't beat that price. Taxis are only $50 pesos each way so no matter, it is cheap.

The other pic is the view from our balcony. During the day, several children play on the rocks and in the water and their laughter is so beautiful..

Friday we are off to town. More to come so stay tuned!!

Horizons! is just a memory

But it was a fabulous weekend. HORIZONS! was a polymer clay retreat hosted by the Vancouver Polymer Clay Guild at the Park Inn on Broadway. So many excellent teachers and not enough time. I came away with a head of ideas swirling around and now I just want to play.

No time. I am off to Puyallup to the Sewing show on Wednesday, show starts Thursday. And don't forget the shopping !! Lots of shopping. My girlfriend and I have finalized our route and list of places to stop at so it will be a full few days. Looking forward to spending time with my "twin sister born of different mothers eight days apart!" Now figure that one out!

More later with pictures.

After a long absence from writing on our blog, I am back. The other day, April and I had to go into Vancouver for a meeting and discovered we had time afterward to just relax and go for a little drive around Stanley Park. Part way around, we stopped for a walk at Third Beach. It was a lovely sunny day so we sauntered down the beach and I found all sorts of items to photograph, like the rock here. It was bare on one side and had all this green on the north side. It just caught my eye. Looks like a mountain with the tree line.....

The day was so relaxing just listening to the ocean, finding stuff and just walking. With all this we were hungry so headed off to Granville Island and enjoyed a lunch from one of the food kiosks in the main market. This certainly sustained us until
