November 27 - Puerto Vallarta

An early start to Puerto Vallarta for me with Teri.  Grocery shopping and picking up friends flying in to live in the park for the winter.


Parts of the highway were congested where large vehicles slowed on hills or small towns.


Other parts were clear sailing with just the odd goat herd following their shepherd.


Since it was Sunday people were out at the roadside vendors in the little towns.


At the Chedrau store we found the extra large section.  Much cheaper, but we don't need the quantity.





3 liters for $67 cdn


It's a good thing we were in a 1 ton truck because we filled it with luggage and groceries.



We were mostly shopping for snacks, sauces, beer, wine and coca cola.  You can't get a good selection of canadian style snacks elsewhere and the rest are cheaper here.  We went to Walmart, Chedrau and Costco.  Otherwise, we shop in La Peñita Nayarit where there is no sales tax and many things are cheaper.  Puerto Vallarta is in Jalisco and has tax.
