Puerto Vallarta

As much as I have enjoyed the excitement of the last several days, it has been anything but relaxing. This morning I returned to Agua Calientes and flew to Puerto Vallarta where I will spend a few days decompressing. Destination beach towns are not generally my thing, but I wanted someplace nearby with good flight connections and at least a few opportunities for hiking and good photography. Although the US has secured advancement to the World Cup tournament, its finishing position in the CONCACAF qualifier will not be determined until the final two matches are played this evening. I will, no doubt, report on the results tomorrow. Pictured below is the bed and breakfast where I am staying. It is very lovely and the wi-fi, while not great, is much better than my hotel in San Juan de Los Lagos. The top-level has a large hot tub/pool and sunbathing deck which also makes for a perfect drone launching helipad.
