Sunday, April 18th. Sayulita to Puerto Vallarta (P.V.), 29 miles

If not for our much anticipated meetup with Bruce and Jeanne in Puerto Vallarta we would have stayed longer at this great small town. We said goodbye to our new friends, Vicente and Arturo with promises to stay in touch. Winston was especially sad because they had a seemingly endless supply of vienna sausages which, much to his delight, they fed him with great abandon. It was an easy drive to P. V. and after a little trouble we found the trailer park. It is a large shady place, completely walled in, with plenty of room for Winston to roam. The greatest danger was finding a place to park that was not under a tree laden with coconuts. Falling coconuts are a huge hazard for R.V.'s and we certainly do not want to have one drop on top of our A.C. unit! After getting settled, we went in search of Bruce and Jeanne. It turns out their hotel is only about 4 blocks from the park, very convenient. After walking Winston, we dropped him off at the RV park and went back to their hotel for cocktails. After much discussion we decided on a restaurant called Cilantros for dinner but on arrival discovered that they are closed on Sundays. We walked for a while before going to Si Senors, a restaurant that the hotel recommended. Margaritas were delicious as was dinner. We headed home and arranged to meet the next day.
