Well, last week I boarded a flight to good ol' Mexico where I intended to slay many Pacifico's, Margarita's, Taco's and the endangered Humpback Whale. My amigo's and myself arrived in Puerto Vallarta late in the afternoon and all met at a local 'drinkeria' where we had the COLDEST beer I have ever had in my life next to the bus station as we waited for our bus to the small town of Sayulita. Now, was it really the coldest beer I have ever had in my life, or was it just the 90 degree temperature outside? Nope, it was definately the COLDEST (not to mention the juicy'est limes). I mean, you took one sip and the beer was gone........empty. That means it was FRIO holmes! As we watched our bus pull up and drive right by, we decided to order another round...of course...and some guacamole. Our 9 year old waitress informed us that the cook had left for the day, but that she would make sure we got some kind of snack. About 10 minutes later, freshly made guacamole and fried chips arrived. We said 'que pasa?'........our 9 year old waitress went to the store and bought avocadoes and made it herself for us. You can only find that kind of service at 3 Doors Down (unless you want a Chix Ceasar). We scarfed, slayed a few more cervezas' and hopped on the next bus to arrive at our destination about 90 minutes later.
Once in Sayulita, we met our gringo contact, Gabby (who was straight out of living from underneath the Hawthorne Bridge). He picked our luggage up from the bus stop (on his golf cart) and instructed us on how to get to our Casa....kinda' This was the Casa of all Casa's!
Views of the 1 block downtown and beach were overwhelming. Views of the outdoor bar (top right in pic) were overwhelming. No view, including of the bar, was obstructed. For the next 3 day's we went to the beach and ate/drank dolmas (hispanic pronuciation of donuts), coco's frio (cold coconuts with straws in them), fruit cups, grilled fish/shrimp on a stick.....around town we ate every kind of taco known to man kind.........and drank mucho Pacifico's/margaritas' of course!
The rest of the 8 day's get's better......stay tuned!
