Tony and I decided to go to Mexico on our honeymoon. As a Spanish teacher I have made it a goal to go to at least one Spanish-speaking country each year and I had never been to our closest neighbor to the south, Mexico. Tony didn't want to be "typical" and go to the Yucatan (I did) so we went to Puerto Vallarta on the west coast. The city is pretty cool; it is situated on the Bay of Banderas and no matter where you are on the beach you can see the circular shape of the coastline as it curves around the bay. It is also quite mountainous and slopes rather quickly from coastline to steep mountains. The downside is that PV is a port of call for many cruise ships meaning that the locals are used to making money off of dumb American tourists and you get hassled quite a bit when in town.
Tony and I stayed at two different hotels while in PV. This was not the original plan. Originally we booked a beautiful, exotic, hotel off the beaten path. When Mr. "atypical" arrived to an influx of breeding crabs and no air conditioning, the "typical" hotel that we both thought to be boring and lame was suddenly the object of our envy. So we relocated.
Please enjoy these pictures of the crabs (we had to have proof so nobody would think we were exaggerating and not as cool as we think we are) and of the rest of our romantic and relaxing vacay.
