Kirk was busy again the past two days, so Monday I wandered off the hotel strip and walked along the edge of the cruise ship berthing area and over to a shopping centre where I drank in the air conditioning after the heat of the the walk. The humidity is high and it’s hot and muggy. I had some entertaining moments debating how to cross 8 lanes of traffic and finally managed the courage to jaywalk, or jay”dart” might be more appropriate. There are two centre roads that are the speed zones and left hand turns are not permitted from these. Cars wanting to turn left have to exit these roads and move to the outer roads running parallel on the right hand side. From there, when the light allows them to, they make a left hand turn across up to 6 lanes of traffic. So jaywalking takes a bit of survival skill.
Yesterday I joined a group of women heading back into Old Town and wandered through the town, along the beach and by the river again. Last night was the big dinner party and Dave hired the best Mariachi band in Puerto Vallarta, and they were amazing!
