Rolled with las chicas most of the day on Friday. Stopped at a nice beach for a late lunch then they headed for good surf and I sprinted into Puerto Vallarta. Found a great little hotel in the old town, layed down for a nap and didn't get up untill saturday morning - so much for party central.
Having a nice time traveling Mexico so I've decided to keep going instead of trying to ship the bike from Guadalajara.
Had adjustment with Chiropractor this morning and then pressed on a couple hundred kilos to the Colima.
I think I am finally out of the influence of the grey mass of boomers invading Mexico. PV is becoming a giant condo-conversion.
An observation: we north americans (from USA) like to fuss over the some of the other north americans (the Mexicans) coming north, working our less-desirable jobs and shipping their cash home. I'd be interested to learn statistics on the massive sums leaving the USA, not by vacationing, but by retirees living down here - I think there are hundreds of thousans (or more, they are Everywhere). I think we underestimate the number of social security checks being direct deposited into B of A and then withdrawn here.
Also, Mangos trees are stately; its true, don't drive at night; and finaly, there are A LOT of new cars here - the economy feels like it used, the people dress similarly, and still eat many tacos, but everyone has a new car that they drive either too fast or too slow! Curious.
