We’ve done Puerto Vallarta many times on the blog, and in January Ursula and I returned yet again. So I’m going to try something a bit different over the next two weeks with this return look at one of my favorite Mexican destinations. Rather than waste time on text, I’m going to take you on a strictly visual tour, with the best photos from this trip appearing over the next two Fun Photo Fridays. If you’d like an explanation of what you’re seeing, I’ll post links to previous articles on Puerto Vallarta below each day’s gallery. As for the gallery photos, just click on any image to bring up an enlarged, captioned photo and to begin each day’s slide show.
