We have been in Lo de Marcus for a
month and getting ready to move further south. I didn't think I had much
to post, as we have been visiting beaches. But looking at the photos
realized there were lots that I could post. One I forgot to post
last time is the beach dog with his life preserver. His owners go
out to surf and the dog likes to swim out and ride the waves too.
While the ocean can be calm one day the
next it can be rolling waves. Each beach and especially the towns
are unique, and different, even if they are just a few miles apart.
The town of Chacala is fairly small
with many palapa restaurants and shops. This is a smaller bay where
you could kayak. 
We had lunch at one of the Palapa restaurants where
I ordered garlic shrimp. They only gave me a very flimsy fork. I
had no idea how to break the shells. I had them take them back and
take the shells off for me.
Town of Los Ayala seems very quiet and
only a couple of streets to the town.
The town of San Pancho on San Francisco
bay is a town that has tourist type shops and a polo club. Very
upscale homes. 
Sayulita is very much a tourist town with restaurants galore, people walking everywhere.
Vendors everywhere and recliner chairs to rent for the day.
A unusual chair on the street.
Punta Mita is another resort area.
Getting into Puerta Vallarta you'll see
all sorts of transportation. This motorcycle looks like it shouldn't
be on the road.
Vendors are on the beach and also on
the highways. These poor birds are in cages that are constantly in
motion as he swings them out to the traffic for viewing, trying to
get you to buy.
While these birds are on the ledge just before
entering the Abarrotes (grocery store)
You can never judge a restaurant by the
entrance. This restaurant in Lo de Marcus didn't seem of interest.
But once inside there was a lovely courtyard serving American style
breakfasts. This particular day they were having a showing for
handmade jewelry.
There are always musicians that want
you to give them pesos for playing while you are eating in a
restaurant.
