We're here!
... drinks were had in the back row where the single adults were sitting. We are finally here. I LOVE the smell of Mexico. The look of the airports, the OBNOXIOUS yelling of the time share pendejos. Emmett worked his magic ...

Funny, cool, random stuff

Sick day
This was the day that the horrid rock hard beds got their revenge. Emmett was felled by Puerto Vallarta for the entire day. He didn't move a muscle. It was sad. It could have been the tapas from the night before but I think he ...
Another day in paridise
At the last minute I change my plans (who me?) and went to Puerto Villarta to the 11th Annual Symposium on Fireworks. The view from the room is spectacular and there appeared to be something special being set up down by water. As it turned out it was a ...

Catholic Cemetery, Peurto Vallarta, Mexico
When I found out the cemetery in Puerto Vallarta was only 10 minutes from the hotel I had to go check it out! I always point out that cemeteries are a prime example of both respect for family and the art of a culture .. . and this cemetery screams ...
