Puerto Villarta,Mexico
  A beautiful cosmopolatian city, friendly peole, good food, GREAT shrimp, one of the best chesse burgers I've ever had at
a downtown Chicago-like bar. If you're from the states and you stay here, slow down about three paces and you'll enjoy things
a lot more.  And remember siesta is serious here!  Change your money every day, the rates were really flucuiating when we
were there. Take day trips, some really good ones and try the Garden of Paradise tour. Ends up at the site, where they filmed
Predator. Complete with blown-up Huey helicopter and a small zoo, had a African Lion there.

                                                                                                                          the Garden of Paradise tour Dad & I took.  If you look close, you can just

                                                            make out the cruise ships in the harbour.
   
        At sunset, the shrimpers made for the southeast and caught the best shrimp in Mexico.                      Our hotel view, Costa de Oro.
