Puerto Vallarta

The city was great

My friends and I went about 15 minutes north by Jeep and found an incredibly beautiful, deserted beach. There was a small cafe on the beach, with a tank full of different fish. One friend picked out a red snapper, and within an hour we had incredible grilled red snapper, fresh tortillas, homemade salsa, mangos, and more I don’t remember. By then I was foregoing alcohol and drinking bottled water – it was one of the last days of our 10-day trip. That was the best red snapper! I usually didn’t care for that kind of fish (give me salmon any meal every meal), but it was delicious! I walked alone south along the water and found several different types of coral washed up at the high tide line; only a few more people showed up at that beach for the whole day. The people were all nice, the food good, and I didn’t get sick at all – ate everything I wanted, but drank only bottled water.

It’s been a long time. Going here was the first time I had ever been outside the United States. I remember the water reminded me a lot of beer (given that it was on the other side of Mexico) washing up on the shore. I came home with about a pound of sand dollars, a sunburn, and wonderful memories.

We are making plans to go here from June 19 to June 26. I am super excited. :)
