Every weekend, from November to May there is a Saturday Market in the Romantic Zone of PV. I happen to be a market fiend. Once I have decided on a destination, and have secured my lodgings, my first search will be the best bakeries in the area and my second search will be the best …
If you have been following along on this travel blog thus far, you may have caught on that I have a slight obsession with doors. I’m not sure what this comes from, however I remain fascinated with beautiful doors in Puerto Vallarta and elsewhere. Most of this past week, I have concentrated on further exploration …
Many places that take top priority on my travel bucket list, have beaches. A long walk on the beach with my toes in the sand, and treasure hunting along the high tide line is a perfect start to my day. Here the two prime beaches in Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone are Olas Atlas Beach and …

This morning my walk took me to the market of course, its Sunday after all, and the local market was in full swing my 8:30am. There seemed to be more stalls today, perhaps because it was the first one of the New Year. If you are new to the colonias area, this eclectic & exciting …
Spending a large portion of my life in Canada, celebrating Three Kings Day is truly unfamiliar to me. Growing up, the only day around Christmas that was celebrated, was well Christmas day!
