Dealing with Peeling - Mexico - Part Three
After such a busy day at Las Caletas on Wednesday, I spent Thursday relaxing in my room. I think I slept until about 2 pm, ate some lunch, and began watching the newest season of Orange is the New Black on Netflix. In the evening, the whole family went to our cousins' room for a pizza party, and we ended up playing a game outside on their giant balcony.
Friday was the day for my family to go to town! We were feeling a bit cooped up on the resort so went into Puerto Vallarta and did some shopping and looking around. There is a very quaint market where tourists can shop for all of their Mexican souvenirs. Daniel was looking for a soccer jersey, Dad looking for a bicycle memento, and me looking for whatever caught my eye. After walking around the market a while, we settled on a place called River Cafe for lunch. This place was absolutely delightful! It was an open air structure and we got a nice breeze during our meal. I ordered an enchilada and taco, and this was one of my favorite meals of the week. After walking around town for a bit longer, we took a taxi back to the resort. I practiced my Spanish with the driver, who was a super cool guy, and hopped into the wading pool when we got back. For dinner we went to a restaurant called Havana Moon, and enjoyed a lovely sunset on the beach.
Saturday was our final day spent relaxing and hanging out at the pool. We took family photos in the early evening and went to La Cantina for dinner. As we were leaving the next day, I had to pack all of my things and settled in for bed.
Sunday was our departure day. Being ready early, I went for crepes with a few family members. I got a chicken enchilada crepe and, even though it was a bit strange, it was surprisingly good. We then ordered a taxi, checked in at the airport, and ate Subway for lunch.
And that was it. A week of family in paradise. Thank you to Grandma Judy for making this possible and I am so glad that I could bond with family before my independent adventure in Europe.
Thanks for reading!
