Puerto Vallarta Day 2

A man sunbathes on a poolside lounge chair with a row of flowers behind him. There's a view of the ocean and mountains in the distance.

The coffee at the villa isn’t too bad! It’s grown somewhere near Puerto Vallarta, I just can’t recall where. Not sure if they also do the roasting. A little darker than I’m used to, but I rarely have dark roasted coffee with actual flavor. It was delicious. Kudos to whoever made this pot, and the subsequent pots each morning.

Had some pool time, then lounged around for a bit. Then chilled inside and watched some people play pool. It was nice to escape the humidity for a bit.

Later we showered up to go for a walk around town. We took the beach access which was much easier and faster than calling a car. The uneven, cobblestone streets of PV definitely add to the character, but some of the sidewalks are almost three feet high. Don’t trip.

We stopped for a drink and some nachos. The food was alright. Apparently this place does pizza. Pizza is popularer here, I’m told.

More pool time when we got back before the Beer Olympics. This was a series of drinking games, like beer pong, etc. I don’t drink alcohol anymore, so I didn’t participate, but it was incredibly fun to photograph! It was intense at times and got a little muddy. I took almost 450 photos. I’ll need to upload my favorites to Flickr. There are far too many to add to one post, but I’ll add my favorite favorites.

  • Two men stand outside of a pharmacy. The pharmacy heavily advertises things like HGH, Viagra, and pain killers.
  • A very pretty pink metal door with a repeating circle cutout design. It is outlined by decorative tile.
  • The front of a Volkswagen Thing viewed at an angle.
  • Palm trees next to power poles with many cables going in all directions.
  • A group of men in swimsuits standing around a table, playing a drinking game. Half cheer in celebration, the other half protesting the outcome. One man in the foreground has his arms raised in victory
  • A man, still wet from the pool standing by an outdoor bar.
  • Two men discussing the drinking games. A swimming pool in the background.
