MEXICO

Puerto Vallarta
(week 2)

*

dos septuagenarias 
well, we are both 71

 We celebrated Ron's 71st, between rains storms,
at Iguana Restaurant
with the beautiful backdrop of 
Puerto Vallarta, MX

lovely, partly open to the sky greeting area

the wish before the candle blow out
Wishing you many more healthy & happy years Ron
(is that the wish??)

 *

 Preparing for Hurricane Willa
better safe than sorry




and then it arrives, but only in the form of massive waves along 
the Malecon, luckily we were spared from a direct hit


*

Then an amazing sunset arrived a few days after
Hurricane Willa 
passed us by


Sunset with perro




Sunset with  remadores de paletas
(paddle boarders, look closely)





A sunset spike,  this calls for a margarita

Santa Maria de Guadelupe
at night

Central Plaza 
young dancers practicing a traditional dance

*


Night view from our apartment

Local street art



more street art

Street Atrists



When you have nothing else to do, 
try this on for a fun spin,
but first you have to climb the pole with 
no, nada, zero
safety ropes

*


My local friends and I are practicing power yoga, gearing up for 
Dia de Los Muertos

which will be celebrated on November 2nd
as it is every year
(more details in our next blog, stay tuned)

*


I invite you to open this door, walk through  
and listen with keen ears to what 
Mark Twain has to say about travel...



“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” ~ Mark Twain



*



Umbrella Tactics:  When your umbrella breaks, buy a new one. Or GET WET.  Small travel umbrellas in Spain and Mexico cost about $3 US.

2 for 1 Drinks: In Mexico, 2 for 1 drinks are served all at once, so you pay the full price of one drink but you immediately get two.To consume less, we now order for one person and share the 2 drinks.

MAVERICK ROVER WORLD Post #13 June 18, 2018 Valencia, Spain Well folks, it's that time of year again all around the world. GAY PRIDE was revolutionized after Stonewall, NYC on June 28 (my birthday), 1969, when I was 22 years old.  Thanks to all those who stood up and protested in support of gay rights, however, there is still much work to be done. Gay Rights = Human Rights The Valencia  PRIDE parade was similar in some ways,  and yet different in many ways from those that we have experienced in the US.  The differences were that attendees and marchers  in the parade were allowed to smoke, drink and walk naked if they chose, as one woman did, to support  women 's rights.  This parade had no local government officials campaigning, no contingent of local police marching, and no pet contingent.  What they did have were numerous drum core  groups rocking the parade and a large contingent ju...

MAVERICK ROVER WORLD Post #6 April 27, 2018 Valencia, Spain Another door to contemplate   Most mornings we go to the outdoor gym area for some self-imposed yoga, some sit ups and several sets of upper body workout on the machines, then back to the apartment for breakfast. On an afternoon walk from our apartment we walked along the Turia Riverbed Gardens, as we often do. Every time is a new experience. This day we explored the:  Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences) which houses the  Oceanografic,   the largest of its kind in Europe with  marine animals from the seven seas.    Hemisferic, has a heavy lidded eye structure as its surface, it includes an IMAX theatre.  Palau de las Artes  Palau de les Arts , the worlds largest Opera Auditorium The City of Arts & Sciences also houses the world renowned Berklee School of Music, ...

MAVERICK ROVER WORLD  Blog Post #82 PARIS, France   Paris Metro Definitely a life saver since we are convinced that we probably spent 20% of our time underground in the massive metro system traveling in and around Paris. This is not a complaint  because there was so much that we experienced.  Getting around Paris on the Metro is vey easy.  All you need to  do is purchase a Metro card for 2€ (Euros) at most subway stations, and then you can load the card with as many rides as you like. The card can be reloaded at anytime. You simply tap in with your card at the entry for the ride of your choice. The cost is about 2€ per one way ride, as long as you keep going in the same direction you never pay again no matter how many transfers you take.  Then your return will be another 2€, and so on. (if you are going to Paris anytime soon, we have the cards with a few rides left on them. Just ask and they will be yours for FREE)   On the map below, the lit...
