Dia Dos En Puerto Vallarta

May 1

It couldn't be jet lag since we gained two hours flying here...maybe it was the pure excitement...but I was up this morning before 6am. The city was very still. The sun had yet to begin its climb over the mountains. The birds hadn't yet awakened.

Every thing was very still except for the rolling ocean several hundred feet below our hillside perch at Villa Caliente.

The panorama from the roof top pool and patio certainly proves that Conchas Chinas is the Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta. All around Villa Caliente there are similar, hillside homes. Unique. Mediterranean.

Our desayuno (breakfast) was the other half of the pineapple, papayaq and mango that was left from our welcome party. It was after 10am so cervesa and margaritas were on the menu.

What to do today?

Sit by the pool.

Visit old town, viejo Puerto Vallarta.

How about everything!

Lunch (almuerzo)para el recommendacion de Noe.

:El Brujo

El Brujo for lunch and it was amazing. I enjoyed the fajitas, the other members of the party had crab quesadillas and the sea food soup. The fajitas we adequate but the crab quesadillas were delicious and the seafood soup was unbelievable. We will put the video up upon return to the USA and after appropriate mixing.

In la tarde, (in the afternoon) we had Cuban cigars on the patio of Villa Caliente, no fumar inside, and sipped Coraonas and we watched the the fall, fall, fall...

En el noche el restaurante Riviera, not to be confused with the River Cafe, was the place we visited. Radio Taxi was fabolous and if you can get Rey in the cab 080 he speaks fluent English from about 10 year in California. So if you can order Radio Control Taxi and Ask for Rey, en la 080, you will be well taken care of.

The restaurant, which is off the strip, is very nice. But if you've visited El Brujo that is not unfamiliar. There is lovely sea themed decor on the walls, even a pool in the restaurant, even though there was no one using it, was cool. A nice jukebox, a helpful staff, an honest manager and of course delcious food made it a wonderful choice for the noche primero en Puerto Vallarta.


As we catch up from jet lag and the traveling (and waking up at 4am pacific) we will give you a much better account of our travels.
