Marina and Croc
We spotted Mr (Ms?) Croc taking a siesta when we were strolling around the marina. Resuming our walk, we bumped into a gringo lady, told her about the crocodile. She commented, "It's not supposed to be there." Odd thing to say, I thought. Sounded like Croc was her pet and she'd trained it to stay away from the marina. Trish and I thought her comment was hilarious. I should have asked her, "Where is it supposed to be?"
The view from our restaurant, above and below.
PV is situated in a coastal plain surrounded by rugged mountains, the Sierra Madre (mother mountains) Occidental range. Condo complexes, homes and boutique hotels cling to steep slopes at the south edge of town, taking advantage of the fantastic views. We had dinner at an elegant restaurant at one of the boutique hotels, a feast for both eyes and tummies, above pix were taken there.
Nov-May is the dry season and the tourist season. Heavy rains occur July-Sept. PV averages 52" precipitation per year; for comparison, Portland, OR averages 36". Lush, subtropical vegetation abounds in PV, lots of palm trees (none of them native), bougainvillea, scores of other colorful plants I can't name.
