I learned from my landlord that there is a lovely and large park fairly close to my residence. In fact, it is a hill on a peninsula and almost the entire area is a public park. This morning for my long walk, under a cloudy sky, I went hiking in beautiful Marjan Park. Getting There …
One of my very favourite places in the world to see and photograph graffiti is here. Beautiful Roman graffiti & street art is prolific, incredible and can be quite controversial. Freedom Rome seems to let its artists have an immense amount of freedom or leniency when it comes to graffiti and street art. What many …
I had the chance to visit another cemetery, the Cemeterio de Sayulita. I would think when the location was first selected, it was most likely a beautiful and serene space. However, today, Sayulita’s not so private cemetery is getting hemmed in by new construction and has become a shortcut to other destinations. The main entrance …
Ok so Sayulita is not a big town by any stretch of the imagination, but boy has it grown since I was last here 15 years ago! Mexico’s not so little surfing village, Sayulita is a lot larger and developed than I was expecting it to be. I have been reading for years now that …
Alrighty, readers who have been along for the last two months may know that I am addicted to markets. Any market, big or small, food or antiques, I will always be early to arrive and have an in depth look at what is for sale. Well I found a winner! The best local tianguis is …

Here in the port city of Puerto …
I have been so fortunate to see the best sunsets of my life here. I don’t know what it is about this specific location, but wow, Puerto Vallarta is the Place for Sunsets! Most recently, I went down to the Malecon and onto the Rosita Beach and Playa Malecon. Both of these beaches run the …
Every weekend between the months of November and April, you can find some of the best Mexican folk art at the Saturday Market. This market is located at the Lazaro Cardenas Park in the Romantic Zone of Puerto Vallarta. Those looking for bright colourful quality souvenirs will really enjoy this shopping experience. The market is …
Wow it feels like coming home. Welcome to vibrant and friendly Puerto Vallarta! I don’t reside here, however I have spent many months on this coast and specifically in this city. There is something magical about PV that continues to draw me back into her embrace. One of my very favourite things to do in …
Yesterday was a travel day for me, a change of locations within Mexico. I was flying from Cancun to Mexico City on Aeromexico for the first leg of the journey. I woke up way to early, always do on a travel day. It turns out it was a blessing in disguise. As I was sipping …
