January 29, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. Puerto Vallarta.

A visit to this old town always provides opportunities to see Mexican culture.  We four visited on a Saturday, where no cruise ships were docked, so the town was not crowded.  Walking on the Malecon and around the narrow streets you had ample space to wander at your hearts content without losing your friends and family.

The Malecon is beautiful,  with even more statues and sand sculptures than before.  And the first street is now a pedestrian walk so you was look and stand and walk without being run down by the cars.  It is a huge addition to the town.  The Indians have installed a permanent pole to do their flying, so on a fixed schedule you can come and see them fly through the air, finally landing on the ground.  It is fantastic.

Lunch was lovely at The Island Cafe and we ambled up along the island to see all the shops.  Ken remembered the store selling pewter and he actually found it.  The store is really a pharmacy with lots of pewter and pottery for sale as well.  Ken bought medications while I bought a pewter nativity set for Molly.  We were both happy.

Puerto Vallarta is an old crowded town but is always interesting,  but we are always happy to be back at our home.
