Visitors

One of the most fun parts of being in Puerto Vallarta is spending time with the people who are visiting here. We have lots of “Internet friends” from a couple different bulletin boards.
One of the boards I read is the Tepic board. Tepic is the capital of the state of Nayarit, which is the state Bucerias is in. Cliff is the host of that board, and is assisted by his wife Alice. This week, Alice made one of her periodic trips to Puerto Vallarta to enjoy the shopping, restaurants and general atmosphere of PV. It’s lucky she didn’t come for the sunshine as it’s been unusually cloudy and cool!
Harold and I had the pleasure of meeting Alice for lunch at Chile’s. This south-side restaurant is known for their hamburgers and roast chicken. We enjoyed a very nice lunch with Alice. We all shared stories of the trials, tribulations and rewards of moving to and living in Mexico. Thanks, Alice, for the fun afternoon and for lunch. We hope to be able to visit Tepic before our return trip to Texas.
Some other visitors to the area are Missy (MadisonMissy) and Ron, from the Madison, Wisconsin area. We met Ron and Missy a few years ago at a board get together and have kept in touch. It was great to see them again. And thanks, Melissa, for bringing me the “foot care package.” Wearing sandals all the time has been taking its toll on my feet and Missy has rescued me with foot scrub, nail polish, a callous-remover and some great lotion.
There have been many other board members we have met, including some who live here full or part time. As a result, we have had a busier social life here than in Waco. But we will have plenty of time to visit with you, too, if you come to town!
