Puerto Vallarta Tuesday, November 11, 2014

Mas lluvia! Really?!! It has been raining hard all day long. We had pre-purchased Los Veranos Canopy tour tickets and they go rain or shine, so off we went! We met them at the Los Veranos office and enjoyed a bumpy bus ride to the zipline area near Boca de Tomatlan.

The jungle was bug free with all the rain, but we sure got wet! Funny thing is that Sandy and I have matching purple rainjackets.
We got a good laugh about that. The Los Veranos guides are a riot. They kept us entertained all day long. Sandy and Victor went upside down! What great fun!



After the zip lining we had fun with the tequila tasting.



And the best was saved for last! Charly shared his animals with us. He has a baby boa constrictor...




a rose tarantula...



and monkeys.


What a sunset the rain brought us tonight. The best of the whole trip! Photo op!








Ruth and Sandy chose matching blouses tonight to carry on the theme of the matching purple rainjackets.
Matchy Matchy
We went to one of our very favorite restaurants tonight ~ Encanto. It is a family run place tucked back in a neighborhood. You would never know it was there. Piano stands out in the street to guide your taxi to his place. Good thing because our driver thought we were lost.

Aquiles Serdan ~ Encanto is located here.

Tonight we ran into Connie, Greg and Deb some of Ruth's Tripadvisor friends. Ruth seranaded Goyo (Greg) last year for his annual Encanto Birthday Party, but she had lots of help from the three mariachis. Last night she sang La Paloma Cucurucucu to Greg by herself....ouch....forgotten words...still very fun!


We really enjoyed our delicious coconut shrimp. Probably the best in town. We all shared a Garbage Salad. It is chalk full of vegies, fruit and candied nuts. We love Encanto.
Half portion of the coconut shrimp!

After dinner we walked down Aquiles Serdan to the beach where Sandy and Ruth had the most wonderful Spanish coffee! Gilberto y Bob provided great music at La Palapa! Bob plays the flute and Gilberto has a fabulous voice.


And Rick finally got his dream...a bit of dancing at Andales. He loves that place. And we introduced Victor and Sandy to Andale's theme song Alice. Anyone know the catchy chorus??
