It is right on the corner, just one block away from the Malecon. The sign says that it is a Pharmacy. Every time we are in Puerto Vallarta, we visit that store, so we have gotten friendly with the owner. He is a pleasant and helpful man. Ken always buys antibiotics from him. He heard Ken cough and quickly opened a package of cough drops and gave two to Ken, saying, "This will ease your cough". Ken just said thanks, but in truth, nothing will ease his cough as he has had it his whole life. But this nice man tried to help.
The Pharmacy is in one small part of the store. The rest is full of objects for sale, mainly pewter and pottery. Their pewter prices are the best in town. Mexican pewter is beautiful so I often wish I would buy objects to take home as gifts. We always take friends there, and normally something is purchased, but for many reasons I do not buy anything. That is, until Saturday, when I purchased the Nativity set for Molly. Normally I just admire the objects for sale, so the nice man was surprised and pleased when he actually made money.
It is marked as a pharmacy but actually is a pewter and pottery store, something that is typically Mexican. It is somewhat endearing that the best prices in town can be found in the Pharmacy. Who would have thought it?
