After a tough week of two big losses for our families (Missy’s grandfather George and our 12-year-old dog Sally) it was absolutely wonderful to make a short 2-day visit with our good friends Eric and Nicole who were starting a week of honeymooning in Puerto Vallarta. So nice to see familiar faces, to share a country we’ve grown to love and catch up after 7 months of being gone. The visit was short because we didn’t want to interfere with the love-birds, but we had a great meal downtown P.V. and strolled the boardwalk playing around with funny sculptures, watching a hanging rope performance and helping Eric and Nicole with a little shopping.
