Now That the Weather Has Changed...

This is the time of year I enjoy the most in Puerto Vallarta. Everything is lush and green thanks to several long weeks of rain and humidity. Now the City has been scrubbed clean and the mountains are shining in their coats of emerald green. The rivers are flowing, the ocean is cool and unsullied and the morning/evening air nothing short of invigorating. We have the BBQ working once again and jogging or riding a bike is a pleasurable option instead of a chore. This is the time of year when the Christmas decorations go up on homes and inside the hotels, there are posadas and parades, songs and celebration and an definite air of excitement as we head into the Christmas holidays. Some people make plans to fly out while many more are making plans to fly in, but we are staying put this year anxiously awaiting the return of our eldest daughter who has been living and going to school in Montreal for the past four months. Our tree is up and decorated, the stockings are hung, there are a few gifts under the tree and plenty of plans to be with family and friends. 'Tis the season to be jolly for sure!
