Banderas Bay is Mexico's largest natural bay. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets over the bay each evening. The Old Mexico city of Puerto Vallarta offers many choices for a nice place to stay. 12/24/2008
One of those random Puerto Vallarta snorkeling boat rides ended up here on Playa Animas, a splendid, quiet beach.
Our Lady of Guadalupe - Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe Church dominates the skyline of Puerto Vallarta with it's most recognizable and endearing Landmark, the crown, a replica of the crown worn by Carlota, mistress of the Emperor Maximilian in the 1860s !
The original crown on the church was damaged by weather and erosion and was restored in 1981. On October 9th 1995 it was completely destroyed after a strong earthquake in Colima. It was replaced with a temporary fiberglass model and since then has been replaced with a crown sculptured by the famous Jalisco artist Octavio González Gutiérrez who is also responsible for the whale sculpture you find when entering the Marina Vallarta area.
Puerto Vallarta - Bahia de Banderas - Mexico
I really enjoyed a brief excursion off of the main streets and tourist sections of Puerto Vallarta. I would really be interested in knowing about their electrical codes if there are any! My idea for this shot was to compress the gritty urban irregularities and realities of the scene using a longer focal length of 200 mm. Single shot hdr processing was used to bring out the variety of textures and detail.

Puerto Vallarta is a Mexican balneario resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas. The 2010 census reported Puerto Vallarta's population as 255,725 making it the second largest city in the state of Jalisco.
There's a wonderful new pier along the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta. It's difficult to show the angle, but it swoops in a gentle curve to the sea where boats pick up passengers. At the top is a beautiful sail like center against the very blue sky where you can sit and watch the people or pelicans.
We traveled as a family to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate Doug and Sally's 50th wedding anniversary (and Thanksgiving).
Peninsula Vallarta is strategically located to enhance the enjoyment of your stay; only 10 minutes from Puerto Vallarta’s international airport, 5 minutes from the marina and 15 minutes from the city center
with its cobbled streets, international cuisine, art galleries and shops.

Dr. Cox: Loretta, relax. I've been involved in every ridiculous TV induced panic there is - poison pills, SARS, West Nile, North Face, South Fork, East River, Monkeypox, pop rocks, toilet snakes, Mad Cow, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, and quite frankly every other flu that you could really only catch if you actually fornicated with the animal it's named for. And as a parting gift, I will tell you this - narrow it down to two symptoms; vomiting and diarrhea. Cause it's just not E.coli unless it's firing out of both exits...
