April 01 Puerto Vallarta ContinuedSorry for the delay, I got home and I had to hit the ground running.
Back to Mexico... so Thursday was a fun day, we got up and had breakfast and then headed to the spa for an hour of luxurious massages. It was great fun. I felt so relaxed, and after a bit of lunch we went to the beach to sun ourselves. C played in the water quite a bit and then decided to play a game of soccer. He ended up in net and played a mean keeper. Unfortunately, he paid for that later and realized he was not 15 anymore. Oh well, we enjoyed a nice supper and watched a mariachi band. It was a lot of fun. We also returned to our favourite bar (Hemingways) for fantastic drinks. That bartender is by far the best on the resort, make sure you visit him if you end up at Palladium Vallarta.
Friday morning we went on an ATV trail ride. It was a lot of fun, especially since it was just C & I and the leader. We raced along the back trails and then up and down the beach. C had a great time. We stopped in a wee village for a beer which cost a whopping 40 cents, and then made our way home. I was covered in dust from head to toe, but I had fun so what does it matter. After a shower and a bite to eat I was back on the beach, while C had a nap to recover from soccer. That night we found our friends again and ended up closing down the disco. It was alot of fun, but the music was mainly really bad. It was a good thing I was drinking margaritas. Saturday was bit of a sleep in day but as usual I ended up at the beach. C joined me and we tried to learn how to play bocce. It reminded us of curling and lawn bowling. There were some fierce little old Italian men who were ferocious at this game. It was funny to watch them interact. We went to the Mexican restaurant for supper and had a FANTASTIC meal. Actually, every single meal was fantastic at this resort, and I didn't have any trouble eating vegetarian at all. The view was so perfect as the sun was setting just as we were dining. I had a Mexican coffee and they put on a big show for us. It was delicious. We hooked up with our friends again, they had extended their stay for a few more days as the weather was so bad back home they knew they'd be delayed in an airport overnight getting home and decided to enjoy the warm weather for a couple more days until the snow was cleared. They moved themselves into the new wing the Royal Suites and wow, were these suites ever luxurious. They had the biggest bathtub I'd ever seen not to mention the size of the rooms were larger that I think any apartment I'd ever rented. We stayed up really late visiting with them.
Sunday I had booked myself another much needed massage and I took care of that first thing and ended up at the adults only pool. Chad caught up with me and we basically spent the day there. There were a lot of characters in this pool and everyone actually got into a lot of trouble from security for being too loud. The funniest part was that there were about 30 Canadians in this pool and 4 Americans, and the discussion became heated over hockey and the 4 Americans were louder than all of the Canadians combined. I really wished I'd had thought to video tape this day, it would have been interesting to watch over afterward. The bad part was that my nose started to run again (I didn't outrun my cold like I'd thought). We had our supper and had our usual nightcap, but I had to beg off early and get to bed as I was not feeling so hot and I knew tomorrow was travel day.
Monday we got up early and packed up and then took one last walk around and along the beach. We will miss Mexico very much. Now we need to work on our 5 year plan and come up with some money to buy a place down here. |
