Have a great time. A month is a nice amount of time. I was in PV my very first trip to Mexico way back in the early 90's.

Wishing you a fun and restful time in PV!

Percy

Have fun on your first trip to Puerto Vallarta suze!

suze

thanks guys (and gals)... it's HOT -hahaha

tom42

have fun suze! I'm jealous.

suze

you should be ~~ for tom42! it's fabulous.

weather is GORGEOUS, town is not too busy. it's not quite "season" yet, a few popular restaurants still closed from the summer.

i took a walk around Centro Sunday afternoon (ok it was raining a bit that afternoon) and was the only gringa to be seen.

Percy

Is the Liz-Burton archway bridge still there.?

suze

i think so Percy, i think that's where Hacienda San Angel B&B and restaurant is?

honestly i don't get up that way... i stay in Zona Romantica near the beach, that and Centro are more my stomping grounds.

Percy

Are you hsving a Corona or Dos Equis !!!!

cabron

Downtown is Colonia Centro.

katybird

Enjoy! Sounds wonderful.

<You took a walk around Centro? Don't you mean Central?>

baldone~ No, I don't. I mean "el Centro". That is the correct name for downtown PV.


katybird~ Yes. I typically come for 2 weeks & twice a year, but this is the first time I was able to get 4 weeks together off from my full time job in Seattle. Thanks for asking. It's a lovely feeling.


Percy~ neither Corona or Dos XX... Modelo is my beer of choice ;-) bought a 6-pack up at Ley just this morning.

Percy

Okay suze ...there is no such thing as bad beer !!! ( I think).

I have had all three brands.

Timely , just watched a movie this afternoon filmed in Puerto Vallarta, " The Night of the Iguana ".

Stay warm

>>The Night of the Iguana <<

I watched it too - on TCM. Hadn't seen it for years. Hard to imagine <i>that</i> movie put PV on the map.

Have a great month!

Do they still have the statue of Liz and Dick?

suze

janisj~ I don't think it was the movie itself, more that John Huston, Liz & Dick and their crowd "discovered" PV and started hanging out here as a vacation retreat.

yestravel~ Si, the statue is still in front of the restaurant by the north bound bridge over the Rio Cuale.

yestravel

It remains in the same place it was ever so many years ago.
