I know this is a stretch... but yes, even I had difficulty speaking in Mexico last week in Puerto Vallarta... but I managed. It's amazing how different life is down there. I am so spoiled to the conveniences, especially in Houston... but it cracked me up, when I walked into the Wal-mart down there, I just about ran into a HUGE display of Tequila... ok... is it just Texas that doesn't sell liquor in Wal-mart? It was very amusing... especially trying to use my limited conversational spanish to try and figure out where the tripods were, along with the spices... :) But it was cheaper down there... And of course, since the World Cup is going on, everything is about "futbol" down there...
On the other side... after we bought some food to take back to the condo... Donna (my friend who I went with to PV) and I decided it was good lighting for photos... although it was HOT... so stupid me... I walked down to the beach w/o any shoes on... OMG. the sand was scalding hot... and I was running. So note to self: Always... always wear shoes when taking pix on the beach... no matter if you need them or not... always better to be safe than sorry.
All in all, it was a fun trip. I ate way too much guacamole... like every day it seemed... and shrimp from across the street at Nopal Beach Eddie's... where they graciously let me use their wi-fi... and they learned how to make my 'masondixon' from Toby Keith's...yum.
Another note... their tostada chips down there are way too thick. I miss the tex-mex chips... like Chuy's chips... love them!! And... if any of you ever go to Puerto Vallarta... you MUST go to Ah! Caramba restaurant... it was a fabulous view of the city, overlooking the town, and the food was fabulous... the best shrimp stuffed avocado ever!!
:) more as time permits... peace out for now...
