Hi Mexico-loving friends!
Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo! I was lucky enough to ring in the new year in Puerto Vallarta, one of my favorite beach towns in Mexico and a wonderful place to celebrate a new year. It was a real joy to be back after being away from the country for over a year and I couldn't help but feel like I'd come home. From the warmth of the people to the warmth of that sunshine (and the warmth of my belly after a few too many spicy tacos ). I spent some time in Mexico City to work on updating my guidebook as well as simply enjoying all of my favorite places that I have missed and catching up with some friends who still live in the city. Then I spent about a week in Puerto Vallarta. We usually stay right in the Romantic Zone or near 5 de Diciembre, but this year we decided to head a little bit out of the city and stay right at the beach. So we booked an Airbnb (which you can see here - but a video is coming soon with a full tour!) right in Playa Gemelas about 15 minutes south of the center of Puerto Vallarta. It was utter bliss. We barely did more than sleep, sit on the balcony, lay on the beach, swim in the Pacific, and drink a few Pacificos. I miss it already. I finished my trip back in Mexico City where despite living there for over four years, I realized is no longer a city that calls to me. It was a joy to come back to and I know I will return again for more adventures, but when I return to Mexico again for the long term, I think it will be to somewhere else (no one is more shocked about this than I am!). |
