Driving on these cobblestones with these walls is a real challenge! This is a nifty old Spanish silver mining town at about 3000 ft only 43 miles from Puerto Vallarta.

Pta de Mita fleet

Here's the fishing fleet in late afternoon. Many of these pangas will be going out at night to fish.

in Nuevo Vallarta

Sea Tern is tied to pilings. It's the last spot left in the marina but not too bad. No power or water but peaceful and quiet. Our dinghy gets us back and forth to land and the showers. We jerry jug the water and run our generator to keep the computer, lights and refrigerator going.

unheated lap pool

Here's the lap pool at Paradise. Note the lone swimmer in a WETSUIT! Too cold for us.
