Puerto Vallarta


This is a perfect destination if you are wanting a pleasant Mexican experience. After walking more than five miles a day on the ship, we challenged ourselves to walk from the port to Old Downtown. It was actually a wonderful walk. The city is clean and the sidewalks in good shape. The walk took us primarily through the hotel district where there were many nice upscale properties. Once in the Old Town District, we came upon the above display of pole dancing. They attach ropes at the top, spin on the square frame at the top, twisting the rope, then jump and hang as they play musical instruments and dance in the air. The area is lined with wonderful sculptures, both permanent and temporary sand creations, as well as fascinating art galleries and delightful craft markets. We not only enjoyed the entire day while in port, but also were treated to playful dolphins and humpback whales breeching as we sailed out of Mexico. Next stop - USA!
