Looking For Love In Puerto Vallarta

By Cynthia Sax on May 13, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were wandering down the Malecon, a pedestrian only boardwalk, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

There were vendors set up along the route. And there was a lot of buying and selling.

One of the sales must not have happened.

Because a handsome male vendor, clasping a blouse, yelled after a curvy older woman, “Get your husband to buy it for you.”

She partially turned around and yelled back, “I don’t have a husband.”

The male vendor’s eyes lit up. “That’s even better.” He smiled. “Do you want a husband?”

The woman, clearly delighted with the offer, laughed. “No.”

The male vendor held out his arms. “I’m single too.” He tried again.

The woman laughed louder, shook her head and walked away with her head held high and more of a bounce in her step.

The male vendor watched her for a moment.

Then he sighed, lowered his arms and returned to his store to take care of the next prospective customer.

Local Pricing In Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

By Cynthia Sax on March 28, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were watching a vendor operate near the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He was selling slices of mango, watermelon, and pineapple in a bag.

The vendor charged two prices for the same bag.

The tourists paid 250 pesos and had extremely quick, efficient and quiet service.

The locals paid 100 pesos and they were expected to engage in a lot of chatter with the vendor. (smiles) He looked as though he was telling them long, elaborate and very humorous stories.

There was an option to put spice on the fruit.

If you ever buy from that specific vendor, DO NOT take the spice option unless you REALLY like spice.

It was too much for many of the locals. They spluttered and coughed. Their faces turned red. Their eyes watered.

Which made the vendor laugh some more.

Muse Food – Revisiting Puerto Vallarta And Circular Storytelling

By Cynthia Sax on February 24, 2025

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have been fortunate to visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico many, MANY times.

We always walk along the Malecon and we usually stop for a moment at the child riding a seahorse scupture.

It is different every time we visit. In the early years, it didn’t have the Puerto Vallarta sign around it. Now, that sign is painted a bit differently every visit.

I like that. I like seeing the changes.

As I like seeing the changes in characters in circular storytelling. When we place characters in a similar situation as they experienced at the beginning of their story, it emphasizes the growth and changes they have endured. That’s fascinating!
