San Francisco Bound  

03/27/05 - Puerto Vallarta, MX

UPDATE! - Our plans to come back to San Francisco have been made

 

We'll be coming back to San Francisco (flying this time - leaving old Chevy-girl behind in Puerto Vallarta) on April 12th through April 25th.  Hope to see many of you then!

 

 
Happy Easter!

Settling in

 

After a day spent waiting for a plumber to fix a clogged toilet (our only toilet, mind you) and dealing with an ant "situation," we are feeling very settled in at our condo rental.  We are apparently making up for all our travel stresses of the past 4 months (our four-month anniversary of leaving SF was March 22!) by doing absolutely nothing!  Hey, but those hours spent lounging at the pool everyday are very therapeutic...

 

We're just trying to wait out the HUGE crowds of Mexicans and Americans/Canadians alike who are all in town for the Easter/spring break holidays before we actually try to do anything touristy.  It really is a mad house and is best to avoid the beach for a bit 'til all the craziness dies down.  Those who couldn't afford or find a hotel are camping on the beach and in their cars. It's crazy!  But it's relatively sane at our peaceful little oasis up the hill.

 

We did have the pleasure of visiting with friends Erin McCune and Nick Virene on Friday afternoon at their hotel not far from our condo (just a brief walk down the beach) and again last night for sunset drinks on the beach followed by a tasty steak dinner at the very popular Cafe de Olla.  Erin is here from SF for the week visiting Nick, who is here on a sailboat and will be leaving for the Baja and then sailing on to Hawaii before too long.  Like us, he too decided work was overrated and left SF in November for a life on the high seas.  It was really great to hang out and catch up with friends.  Thanks, you guys!  We have to have you over for (more) sunset drinks before you leave!
