The
following pictures are a continuation of a collection
of pictures that we have taken while in the Puerto
Vallarta area. The first picture is of the church
in downtown Puerto Vallarta, just two blocks off
the Malecon and one block from the central square
that you find in many spanish cities. This is a beautiful
old church and well worth the visit.
The
picture on the right is a typical street filled with
shoppers. This particular day, there were 3 cruise
ships docked at the marina and many people spend
the day shopping in Puerto Vallarta.
We
saw quite a few people in a jewelry shop on this
street, so we went in to see what all the interest
was. Turns out the shop was giving everyone a shot
of Tequila, mixed with squirt (similar to Sprite
) and a squirt of lime juice. Makes and excellent
drink at 11 in the morning !
. 
The
picture on the left was taken on a small street that
winds its way up behind the church that we mentioned.
A narrow street with cobble stones, houses perched
on the side of the mountain, some poor while others
are very elegant and well decorated.

This
picture shows just how narrow the streets are relative
to the car on the street. The balcony is actually
over the street. I definitly would not want to live
here during the rainy season. These streets become
rivers with torrents of water pouring down towards
the ocean!
.
One of our favorite places to eat was the Chilaquiles
restaurant on the 5th floor above Starbucks downtown
Puerto Vallarta. We enjoyed the food the view and the
entertainment that was on the Malecon. Dancing, music
and even movies were included.
.
Cheeky Monkeys was another favorite location that we spend some time at. Between
fantastic sunsets as can be seen below to $1 beer and Margaritas, this is a must
on your list of places to visit.
