Downtown PV

December 2. Puerta Vallarta.
I am responsible for getting the boat from place to place, but when it comes to shoreside activities, Andi has been researching that for over a year. Consequently, I just ask "where are we going today, dear?". She comes up with great stuff. You could just plop me down pretty much anywhere and I could sit on a corner and enjoy the ambiance, but she comes up with the best corners to sit on. Above you see the River Cuele as it runs through downtown PV. There is an island in the river and there are some beautiful restaurants, museums, and art centers on the island. We had a delightful lunch at the River Cafe. You can see a little of their gazebo at the left of the picture. This is jungle, folks. There are iguanas all around our boat in the marina, we hear parrots squalking, and the vegetation is deep tropical. This whole island was like that.

Here you see yours truly leaning on a banyan tree. I don't know if it really is a banyan tree, but it sounds good, huh?
Below is our princess testing one of the suspension footbridges that connect the island to the rest of the city.

And here is the upper end of the island where the two branches of the river split. Nice, yes?
