Elections in Puerto Vallarta

July 1^st  was election´s day in Mexico and as you may know, it was madness everywhere! I have to say that the month before election´s day was noisy and packed with people supporting their favorite party  that created traffic jams everywhere in the city, and so much noise…  big huge speakers with loud music and political messages from 9:00am to 2:00pm and from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. Hundreds of supporters (most of them teenagers with political parties t-shirts and banners that went to support because they got paid) and this happened all around Puerto Vallarta (and the country I guess).
At the end…  there were a lot o people that couldn’t  vote (including myself) because there were not enough voting ballots . But the worst part of all is coming upnext… The government gave the order to all the establishments, groceries stores, bars, restaurants and any place where they sell liquor in Puerto Vallarta to Not to sell any kind of alcoholic beverages form Friday night till Sunday night!!!!     Can you imagine all tourism that spent their money on an airplane and resort to visit Puerto Vallarta  just for a  weekend to find out that they couldn’t have a cold beer or a margarita? 

All the night clubs, bars and restaurants at the boardwalk were closed for the weekend!!!!!  

Of course when I heard what the government planned to do I had a panic attack!!!  But I had time enough to do my shopping and stock my fridge with pacifico beer for the weekend. J

Here is a picture of the voting line at wal mart.

Until the next one,Your friend in PV:
