Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (4/6/09) - A “Palapa day” on a remote beach in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific Coast was a great way to unwind and start our 2-year round-the-world world trek helping us to ‘Unhook Now’.

We went to Playa Los Animas (English: Zombie Beach) accessible only by boat. We took a taxi to the end of the road and then a small fishing boat to this Playa Los Animas. Fun day in the sand and ocean with Mexican beer, margaritas, shrimps, and guacamole.

Puerto Vallarta was made famous by John Huston’s movie Night of the Iguana and the romance between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. 

Stretching from the south end of Puerto Vallarta's Old Town to central downtown, a newly extended and refurbished boardwalk lined with sculptures along the ocean, called the Malecon, passes by a number of shops, oceanside restaurants, and hotels, and often plays host to entertainers and artists.

The residents of Puerto Vallarta are very friendly and generally willing to help with directions and other requests. Old Town Vallarta (or the Zona Romantica district) south of the River Cuale is more like a Mexican town and less like a tourist trap. Visit the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and see the Mosaic Tile Park. As a tourist destination, prices are higher than many other places in Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta blends old-world charm with modern luxury offering cobblestone streets, restaurants, and art gallaries. English is widely spoken and U.S. dollars and credits cards are accepted everywhere. Taxis are reasonably priced but do ask the price before getting in.
