The back of the condo has a large dining table with a sitting room area with TV that leads to a covered patio balcony that overlooks the shore.

DOWNTOWN PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO

RIDE A LOCAL BUS
BACK AND FORTH
FROM THE CONDO TO TOWN
Travel the local buses and get a flavor of the culture. Hucksters selling candy treats, snacks, etc. get on the bus to give their speech to hopefully convince the riders to buy their treat. Day laborers ride to work and back. Young boys play their homemade instruments and sing for money handouts.
Joe and Audrey wait for the bus to arrive at the downtown bus stop.
Taxis are available across the street and throughout the town.
A key sign marks a hole in the wall key shop.
Pottery & Glass Shops are abundant.
Upstairs in this retail shop are displays, kilns, and artisans.
A local artisan can be seen working in this pottery, tile, sink shop which they called their factory.
TRY to walk one of the two swinging plank bridges from one side of the river to the other.
A sunset brings closure to the day and thus to this adventure in a faraway land for Dave and Audrey. Thank you, Joe and Barbara
