Puerto Vallarte

On the return leg of our tour of the country-side, we decided to drive past Nueve Vallarte and continue on into Puerto Vallarte. Our destination: The Cheeky Monkey, where the beers are $1 U.S. a piece. Even the Margaritas were cheap, as long as you could tolerate the cheap tequila (Jane couldn't - it tasted too smoky). We sat in the open air second floor and ordered onion rings (they were huge broad chunks of deep-fried onion - very good) and pizza. The third floor of the restaurant was reserved for smokers, who stumbled up and down the stairs wearing balloon hats.

After the Cheeky Monkey, Ron drove us back toward home. We dropped David off near his apartment with a case of the giggles about our frequent speed bump alerts for Ron - "Boom boom!" "No boom-boom!," and got home after a brief diversion to obtain gasoline and loop around in the correct direction.

Thanks for driving Ron, you did a great job!

The Malecon (waterfront promenade) is lined with statues.

This must serve as today's fruity drink (there is a lime in it).  I stuck to beer all day to avoid problems with local water. 
Separated at birth?
Kenny thought this sports bar looked pretty cool.
