Mexico: Day 4

We took a taxi to downtown Puerto Vallarta. On the way there, we saw a sight we never thought we'd live to see:

That's right...the Carnival Splendor docked in Puerto Vallarta. Miraculous considering the last time we saw her.

Anyhoo. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is a sight to behold.

There were people swarming around us, tempting us with "hey, pretty lady!" or "hola, movie stars!" and their super high-quality wares. One of the men from our group invited himself to come along with us. At first we were a little annoyed--a strange guy with his beer in hand following us around all afternoon didn't sound too fun--but as the day wore on, we were grateful for his body-guard-esque presence. We felt safe even when we got a little further away from the typical touristy area.

All in all it was a fun experience. If the heat doesn't kill you (I'm convinced it nearly did), you might find one of these babies:

So freakin' awesome.
