Monday August 22, 2005: Arrive Puerto Vallarta. Pics of the street taken outside my uncle's apartment.
For the rest of that day we chilled out, and later that night ate at a great Italian Restaurant. Yummy.
Tuesday August 23, 2005: We visited my favorite place, Las Caletas. It's about an hour ride by boat (and only accessible by boat) from PV. Here are some pics when we were leaving PV for Caletas:
And we arrive to Las Caletas. We exit the boat, walk off the dock and are there. This is the first view of Caletas you see when you get off the dock.
A short walk up the trail you get to the main part of Caletas. It's a small cove with beaches on either side.

Wednesday August 24, 2005: Highlight of the day, after 3 years I was FINALLY reunited with my favorite food on the planet. La Marisma Shrimp Tacos. This is my favorite place to eat in the world. Others need fancy dining and expensive ambiance, give me a taco cart and a mexican coke anyday.

Leaving Vallarta, going back to Guadalajara:
Blue Agave plants. You can't really see it, but the word SAUZA was spelled out in agave. If you live under a rock, agave and blue agave is grown to make a little drink called Tequila.
Valley Town with Blue Agave surrounding
Yes, it's a actual town.

Wow! That's Mexico?! That's not like any Mexico I've ever seen. It's beautiful!
Yup, that's the REAL Mexico. I hate when people see the border towns and think the whole country is like that.
roy: its kind of hard to explain. its like they chop up like a few shrimp into pieces. then they bread them lightly and fry them. it comes out looking like a chicken finger, about 4 or 5 inches long, but with the shrimp inside. then they put it in a corn tortilla (that they make fresh from the maize right there) and then they put the shrimp tender thing in the tortilla with a a bit of a mayo sauce and lettuce. i add a bit of ketchup and a squirt of lime and wash it down with a mexican coke. I wish the picture came out clearer.
Wow! The La Marisma shrimp tacos sound awesome the way you describe it! you like the way I did that... "The La..." hehehe...
ruben: for sure bro! im there!
