Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
This morning when we went to breakfast and first saw the city we were extremely impressed by its beauty. The mountains were in the background and a clean city on the beach stretched in front of us. The funniest part was Wal-Mart and Sam’s were right across the street. We disembarked at 9 am with Bob and LuAnn and started looking for a cab to go to the old town. The first one wanted $10 p/p after walking a block to the main street we got one for a total of $5 for all of us. He dropped us off on the beach front and we walked a block to the church then the market. After a short time, the guys said they were going to the Internet so LuAnn and I had plenty of time to explore what we realized was one of the largest markets we had been to.
We met up with the guys and walked toward the ship along the Malacon, which is a concrete boardwalk along the beach with beautiful statues. We walked to the end; about a mile and caught another taxi back to the Wal-Mart where we all went in for drugs! There are three stains of a virus on the ship (we call it the Carnival Crud) and everyone has had it at least once and some are working on two and three times. I finally caught it in Lima and the cough just keeps hanging on. Terry had to be different. Last night after dinner he felt really bad so he skipped the show. Heidi went to check on him and he was extremely ill. She finally talked him into going to the doctor and they said he had passed a kidney stone or as they said kidney sand since it was so small. No matter what the size was, it was extremely painful! This morning he was doing so well he went to the gym!
We all went back on the ship for lunch then Bobby went back to an Internet and LuAnn and I went to a craft market right off the ship until 5 pm. Time flies when you are having a good time! We all agreed we could come here and spend a winter – what a beautiful place with so much to do in the area.
