Los muertos beach new pier

let me give you an update of the new pier at los muertos beach.

The renewal of Los Muertos Pier keeps advancing and nearing completion, and after almost 2 years,  I really hope so!!!  It is looking great I must say.

Back in the old days of Puerto Vallarta before the main maritime terminal was built, cruise ships use to drop off their passengers at los muertos beach giving the opportunity to their passengers to walk downtown´s  and old town´s streets freely. (Before the time-share age)

Now, we are looking forward for this new pier that will bring back the perfect spot to watch an incredible sunset at one of the most popular beaches in the bay. Los muertos beach.

Here are some pictures of how it is supposed to be when it´s done.  

 One that I took from a boat:

The weather in PV is very hot and the water in the ocean is not exception!  Raining season just started and makes me think that this year will rain a lot! The good part is that the mountains are green and gorgeous giving Puerto Vallarta and Bandera´s bay the exceptional look that is characteristic of our tropical destination.

Fishing is getting better now with sailfish, tuna and mahi-mahi getting closer to the bay.

Business is slow as you may know, but I think we will have a great high season 2012-2013.  (I am not considering the Mayan prophesies)  J

I hope that all of you are doing great!

God bless you all!

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:
