DeutschMexico/Los Mochis Active vacation 2005
Ate at Root for the last two nights - WOW! Andrew, the chef and owner has developed a wonderful menu and restaurant with a beautiful ambiance. Yesterday we took the bus into Puerto Vallarta and explored both the new and old areas. Lots of tourists (cruise ship in port) and every other vendor on the street wants to sell you a condo or property. Lots of trinkets for sale on the beach and while waiting for lunch we could barely carry on a conversation because of the constant offers by beach vendors wanting to hawk their wares. I think we are coming to the realization that big cities and tourist areas are not interesting to us any longer. The little byways and Mexican villages are where we feel most comfortable.
Had our teeth cleaned down the street from our hotel. Cecilia was the dentist and she used a new technique - ultra sound and did the best job Judee says she has ever had. Cecilia wants to replace some of Judee´s metal fillings with a new material from Germany, much better than US metal! Further, I have three cavities next to the metal fillings that Cecilia want to replace ....I am going to pass on this and wait and see how things develop. One thing is certain: the dental care in Mexico is very good and inexpensive. The cleanings were $25 each and after the cleanings, a TV camera was popped into our mouths for a good look on the TV screen. Absolutely the latest technology and less invasive procedures used! If we chose to have the fillings they would cast $60 each!
Bucerias is laid back....had dinner with our hotel owner, Barbara (his Polish friend) and a Canadian couple who are inquiring about a home purchase. Long leisurely dinner of 3 1/2 hours with lots of discussion was delightful. We are falling slowly into a new pace of life.
