My kind of Puerto Vallarta

2018, Dec 29

We happily joined our friends for a week in beachside Puero Vallarta. Friendly, relaxed, successful tourist town - but we get to stay alongside a normal family in a normal week of life. (Even had a normal, friendly robbery!)

The beaches are stunning and we’re enchanted by mountains in every direction. Our favorite part of Puerto Vallarta might actually be the river walk trail that we take every morning to the beach.

We came primarily to escape Morelia’s cold nights, which are just above freezing but really cold when living offgrid. Plus the bed gets crowded with chilly dogs and we weren’t getting much sleep. Puerto Vallarta’s weather is gorgeous, though we’re not getting much sleep because it’s so noisy with traffic going by at all hours, and we have to keep the windows cracked or we get too hot! Which means we’ll be ready to go home, which is convenient at the end of vacation. Plus, we miss the kitties and our hikes up the hills.
