Lorelei Rivers and I are headed back to Seattle from Puerto Vallarta today, well-rested and ready to go back to work tomorrow. It was a lovely five days; I would enthusiastically recommend an all-inclusive package (which is what we got) to anyone going to a similar resort. Not only was it dirt-cheap by US standards, it was so very nice not to have to keep hauling out credit cards or wads of cash to pay for every little thing. As you saw yesterday, the views were spectacular, and we ate whatever we wanted in any of several lovely restaurants; plus, free room service, free mini-bar, shows, several pools and a private beach, and all the free booze we wanted. And though the drinks tended to be weak, a quick side-trip to the VIP lounge to spike them with even MORE free booze remedied that problem easily enough. We spent most of Friday, Saturday & Sunday eating, drinking, lying on the beach (with LOTS of sunscreen to protect our exceptionally-fair skins) and of course shopping, then on Monday I went into town for even more shopping after we got massages in a lovely little tent up the beach from the hotel. It’s a good thing we packed light on the way down, because, you know, shopping.

Good for you.
As an artist there are several reasons why I am envious of the computer. There is an ease to establishing what can be seen from the views of a camera. I could never showcase what comes so naturally, the beauty of the beaches of Mexico and two women sunbathing and shopping, as well as you did by taking a picture.
Do you ever use the trick of bringing old no-longer-wanted clothes on a trip and throwing them out after you wear them?
Nice photo…
Spectacular view, indeed!
Beautiful. A lovely view.
