JAFO

This is an old blog that never got entered.  The date of the tour was the 28th of December. 
Ever see the movie Blue Thunder? There is an acronym in it.  JAFO. That's what I was today.  Hell, maybe everyday.  We took a tour of "old" Puerto Vallarta today courtesy of mom and Z. 
This is the river that flows to the ocean and the spaniards founded the town at the mouth of this river.  The river is called Cuale. 
Freddy was our tour guide and he was very fun and interesting.  
Couple more photos...
"Roaring" like a tiger.
Nativity scene in the church. Samey wanted to know about the lambs and if their mamas where helping them.
The church all decked out for a wedding.  According to Freddy, the bride was late.  
Again per Freddy, this church was built by the people of PV. No architect, engineers, planners were used.  They just built this sucker in 1895 and prayed that it holds up.  So far, so good.
Painted on a wall in the alley that leads to the ocean.  Amazing I think.  Graffiti others think. 
The "Arches" of Puerto Vallarta. You can find examples of arches littered throughout the town.  PV was originally named after these pinnacles and the arches.  
We finished the tour with dinner and a tequila tasting.  Expensive stuff.  Good fun though.
