Today's field trip was to the downtown area and the malecon. We took the bus down to the Zona Romantica, where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton had houses built after filming the Night of the Iguana, thus popularizing Puerto Vallarta as a tourism spot. We wandered around the artisans' market that's located on a small island in the middle of the Rio Cuale.

Street Mural depicting the Motmot
This above is a combination bridge and staircase crossing the river and leading to Gringo Gulch, and upscale neighbourhood.
We walked on to a park with leafy trees
And public art.
Then we headed downtown for supper at the Café de Olla.
I had seafood tacos
We had a nice meal but the place to be was clearly the taco joint next door where the lineup was huge.
After dinner we walked down to the very busy malecon
For views of the sea
And joined all the other tourists (Mexicans and gringos)
For a view
Of the sunset.
