January 14, 2011. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Doing Nothing Important.

We are becoming experts at doing nothing important, but we are experts at enjoying ourselves.   Today was a perfect example of living the simple life and enjoying it.

Who would  have thought that taking two trolley rides around the complex was so pleasant.  Beverley enjoyed it too.  Walking around the marina area was interesting too.  In Mexico, things change, but slowly, so every time we walk around the area we see signs of progress but the progress is slow.

The highlight of the day was lunch at The Porto Bella restaurant  on the canal.  We did it all.  Mussels, shared, for an appetizer.  Lasagna for Bev,(for old times sake, she said),  osso buco for Ken and pasta for me.  Wonderful food, with red wine from Chile washing it all down.   Tirimisu, shared for dessert.  We got home at four.    I napped for thirty minutes.

We watch the sunset every evening, from our balcony, another simple pleasure, looking over the Pacific Ocean.  It is a beautiful sight and certainly  not important, but we enjoy it.
