Puerto Vallarta, Tuesday, 10/27/15

I started the day with a massage that I had purchased on Cupocity (Mexican Groupon). Great way to begin a day for sure. Rick began his day on the balcony enjoying the great view of Los Muertos Beach!

I returned home to meet Lillian (Zebralb from the PV Tripadvisor forum) and her husband Joe. They are renting at Plaza Mar next door and we wanted to check out each others' digs. They have a lovely one bedroom penthouse that is beautifully decorated with modern leather furniture. So pretty. We still like our very spacious condo which has served us so well for the past ten years.

We really love the huge rooftop pool and go there every afternoon for a swim and perhaps a siesta. Today we met some of the other guests. Tony and Elaine are ballroom dancers from Chicago. Tony is an instructor and said he would teach us to Salsa and Meringue. I need to bring my ipad and little bluetooth speaker up there today. There was a group of three playing their won version of Bananagram. They make up their own words and then explain them to each other. They let me play a few words with them and I have to admit, it was pretty fun. There were also three girls who had sun dancing on the bar last night at Andales.

Our friends Pat and Don from Chicago checked in today. They stay two doors down from us every year. Pat and I met on Tripadvisor several years ago (she is Mexicomomma).

Tonight we went to the Tripadvisor Meet and Greet at Pour Favor together.

Beautiful vegetation taking over a building spotted on our walk to Pour Favor.

JR, a local who posts on TA a lot, organizes this little event every Tuesday. We had fun chatting with JR and putting faces with online names. We met Spotcat, George L. and Tansandy and his wife Sandy (who is tan). Very fun little get together.

We headed over to Bohemio Cafe at 7:00 to see Sol. He made a soup for me today ~ Thai Chicken Coconut soup. It was delicious. Rick had his Portobello Mushroom soup that was equally amazing. We split the red snapper special with an orange sauce. Great food and great company. Got to talk with Sol and his partner, Chris, sat with us a bit to chat. Also saw Skinny, the waiter, and Mitzi, the manager. Nice crew there!

Veracruz, our favorite mariachi group came by. We had brought all four of them a little gift of Broncos beer coozies. They sang my two best songs for us ~ Paloma Cucurucucu and Malaguena Solerosa.
