Some days in Puerto Vallarta

Thanks to Yvonne, I had a free ride to Puerto Vallarta for 3 days. The car was full with her mother, cousin and nephew, so you can imagine I didn't had the time to be bored.
The closer we were from the coast, the hotter it was and, after going through some little mountains, we could finally see the ocean. Personally, it was the first time I saw the Pacific ocean, and frankly it didn't move me that much (hoooooo): BUT other did move me during this trip (yeeeaaah).


As few of you know it, Mexico is hosting the 2011 edition of "La Panamerique" (haaaaaa, hum, what's that?). Well that's the Olympic games of America, and you can pretty much see how a big deal it is in Mexico as ALL the city are under construction. Well, maybe not all, but most of the ones I've visited. Puerto Vallarta is no exception and if you can see a nice beach on the pic below, it was heavily photoshopped.

no, just kidding, I just turned right and pushed 2 or 3 workers out of the way.

The day I arrived, the temperature was well over 30°C, but the killing part was the humidity: more than 65%. With this oven-like condition, you can try to access to one of the many (like really a lot) of Oxxo. It's a chain of supermarkets where it's always air conditioned. Therefore you can go in there, look at ALL the product a very long time (the time needed to get a bit dry), then buy a bottle of water with a face saying "hooo, I could have buy so many stuff, but you don´t have the brands I want... Too bad".
If you don't, you might look like that:

The hair below looks like they have been on the pool 2 min ago, but it's super dry on top!

A quick tour of the city taught me how annoying could be touristic cities; do I really look like Canadian? American? Well, I guess it doesn't matter much for them as you speak English and you like you have tons of money.


Apart from that, it's a very nice do surf and eat sea food rolled up in a taco or on a tostada. Pay attention to the tostada though, it's like a huge chips. and like them, they break easily and never in the shape you want them to do. It's kind of complicated to keep your cool eating those as you can be sure, at  one point, your laps will receive food. From you or your neighbour.

Some sun and some rocks

Filthy Tostadas (but so delicious)

Finally, some quick word on my return: I finally got an haircut!

Luis: "ho ho" me: "What? What? What did you do? What did you dooooo??"

Also, not being able to edit my pics is somehow helping me to make better pictures. Well, not for the moment, but I can see where I screwed up, and I'm NOW thinking I should do something about it... We will see how it goes...
