We start the week with a visit to the local hairdresser for haircuts for both of us on Monday - Janett does a great job for $40 pesos per person (about $3.20 CAD)! What a bargain!
Vic says it is another first. He sits in the chair beside Bev and they get a hair cut together. How cute!
The weather continues to be hot. The waves are great on Tuesday for Vic to get some more runs in with the boogie board. Bev relaxes in the shade of the palm trees at the edge of the beach and enjoys the gentle breeze.
Wednesday, we head into Puerto Vallarta to shop at Home Depot, Walmart and then the Mega store. We pick up a new variety of Tequila that has been recommended to us. Campo Azul cheaper than our usual Jose Cuervo Especial. In the evening we head out to Arcelia’s Sugar & Spice Café to celebrate Vic’s birthday with 4 other couples. The special on Wednesday evenings is Fish or Shrimp for $90 pesos which includes dessert – the fish dinner consists of 2 large fillets of fish grilled with herbs – delicious!! The ten of us go for a stroll around town to walk off the dinner. It is a beautiful clear starry night and still mild – no need for a sweater or jacket.
On Friday we order in the propane truck to fill our tank. Despite the leak we had early after we arrived, the tank lasted us a month running our fridge and water heater on gas. It cost us $306 pesos which is < $30 CAD.
On Saturday 4 more rigs arrive in our campground – all from BC.
On Sunday we are surprised when a couple drive into our park in a red 1978 Triumph Spitfire. They are from Montreal and had bought the car only 1 week before the left on their trip south! They have a 38’ motorhome parked in a campground in Puerto Vallarta.
