Some customs are worth preserving. Afternoon tea is one of the finest. Most afternoons, Doreen prepares hot tea. We sit on the balcony in the warm air and monitor the comings and goings on the canal, while we sip our hot herbal tea. The tradition is lovely. The public dock is a short way along the shore so we watch the tour boats disgorge the people from their excursion of the day. We never know where the boats have gone through the day, so we just guess.
Every day we see three large boats loaded with people. Half the folks are unloaded here in Nuevo Vallarta and the rest continue along to Puerto Vallarta. We think those boats went to the islands to snorkel, kayak and swim. Two big sail boats return full of people too. There are too many people on the sail boats to be just sailing but we have no idea where they go and what they do. But every day they motor past us and dock briefly at the public dock to leave most of their people. Then they too head south to Vallarta.
The water taxis are busy during tea time. They constantly take people across the canal, or they head further south to the old city. In addition, two small boats of fishermen use circle nets to catch bait, which the pelicans follow everywhere. Our tea time is interesting and pleasant and is a wonderful addition to our life in Paradise Village overlooking the marina.
