The forecast showers stayed away while we were on land so we had a clear, but very hot and humid day in Puerto Vallarta. We caught a local bus from the port into town, which took about 15 minutes. No air conditioning, but the 50 cent fare certainly beat the fares on the cruise ship arranged buses and it was interesting riding with the locals and clattering about through the cobble stone streets.

Puerto Vallarta is a lovely clean town sprawling by the water and climbing up into the hillside above. We enjoyed strolling on the boardwalk watching different entertainers, watching some sand castle sculptures taking shape and browsing the markets. The local bars all have free wifi for patrons so we had to partake in some more $1 Coronas and $1 Margaritas so as to get our emails out and connect with you all at home. The things we do for love.
