Vallarta

Kathy, Bill, Marylynne, Steve, Betty, Sue, and Robert went on an outing today to Puerto Vallarta.  This city of 300,000 people, is about 30 minutes down the coastal highway from Bucerias.  The group made a quick stop at Costco and then on to Puerto Vallarta.  The local gringos just refer to it as Vallarta.
 All visitors stroll along the Malecon (boardwalk), enjoying the sunshine and the magic of the ocean.  There is art everywhere.  About 5 years ago, a major overall was done to this boardwalk. It's the heart and soul of the town with lots to see and a real Mexican experience.  Watch here ...  http://youtu.be/zSWcMU191Xo

After we walked the boardwalk and checked out the sand and bronze sculptures, we went for lunch at The Cheeky Monkey.  We ate delicious foods and solved all the problems of the world.



Frida Kahlo de Rivera (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón; July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits.


The sculpture of a seahorse in Puerto Vallarta's malecon, created by Rafel Zamarripa and called Caballeo del Mar, has become a symbol of the city.

This was hanging over the heads of our group while eating in The Cheeky Monkey.


The Cheeky Monkey has marguerites for only a dollar.

The Stone Artist definitely knows the value of "balance".  Watch movie here ...  http://youtu.be/oUidgzb9cLI
