Leaving Mexico

We are on our way to Nicaragua after 10 days in Mexico. most of our time has been spent with friends who own a condo in puerto Vallarta. We now have a good start on a tan and are officially in beach mode.  Last night in PV we watched the sunset while being entertained by some of those characters that stand out in a crowd. You know, the colorful 5 percent. In this case it was a couple (I was going to say an old couple, but they were our age and that doesn't seem to fit) attempting to dance on the beach, surrounded by hoards of sun bathers. Initially they danced to disco followed by mariachi music. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the beer belly on the women and the walrus belly on the guy that kept bumping into one another. Anyways, they seemed to be having fun and the rest of us were also entertained. Then there was the white old guy, yes our age, who combed the beach with a metal detector while plugged into his special headsets. No, we didn't see him find any treasures. Then there was the young couple who were desperately trying to get a still picture of each other jumping into the air and kicking up their heels while the sun was setting in the background. Did you know that on rare occasions there is a flash of green light just as the sun's last rays set below the ocean horizon. I didn't believe it until I saw it for a split second in PV. This has nothing to do with the self portrait of the flying couple.
