We have been in Banderas Bay for two weeks now. At first we thought it would be a quick stop on our way south. Then the weather held us up. THEN the generator broke! The gen is our power supply source, in addition to solar panels, but we have too many appliances on board to do without it. So Bill tore into it and found a broken part which had to be custom-made at a local machine shop. In the meantime, we have been able to do some exploring and getting to know the area better. The Bay itself is about 25 miles in diameter, with communities all around the edge. We have anchored just off La Cruz, a quiet little town of cobblestone streets, peppered with lovely restaurants! Last Fri. night friends Bill and Jean treated us to dinner at the Black Forest German Restaurant, complete with flamenco/gypsy guitar entertainment! Alice attended church in downtown Puerto Vallarta Sunday and then wandered Old Town and the Malecon where there are dozens of beautiful statues, as shown above. She also saw our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral, above. The area is a dichotomy of old and new, wih the beginnings of tropical Mexico and high humidity. Thankfully, it is cool right now! With the gen again purring, we will soon head south to Manzanillo, but know we will return to Bahia de Banderas some day.
