The Pueblo of Lo De Marcos is a small seaside village just North of Puerto Vallarta. It is mainly a tourist area now with many very reasonably priced seafood restaurants, street taco stands, small hotels and a couple of RV parks. In times past it was known for it’s palm oil production. These golf ball sized oil rich nuts can still be found along the beach.
The RV Park we are in is called El Refugio and is probably one of the nicest parks we have seen in Mexico. It has two pools, spotless showers and a beautiful beach area. On the other side of the coin, at $390 Pesos per night, it is also one of the most expensive we have encountered. Just outside the gate are most of the fine restaurants and taco stands. It is a Mexican Gem!

We decided to stay an extra day so I could watch the Grey Cup Game. Tomorrow we have to find our way through Puerto Vallarta on an elusive bypass road as the main street through town is too narrow and congested for a motorhome to pass.
Holy Beautiful Beaches, Batman! Croft, between you and George we are really having a hard time of it (shivering here at 18DegF) not just chucking it in and heading for your part of the World :~)

Come on down Lew. There is lots of room and the water is great!
ReplyDeleteIf the New Broom here can do something about Health Care we probably will. IMO, "Socialized Medicine" here would create the biggest economic boom ever....A lot of "Baby Boomers" would chuck it in and go live in a box (read RV) and unemployment would drop to nothing as those Jobs were filled by Young Family People. Preaching to the Choir here, Eh?

Good point Lew, I have never thought of it that way. I retired at 54.99, the earliest day I could get my pension and the average retirement age in our Telecommunications Workers Pension Plan is now 57, thanks to Socialized Medicine.
ReplyDeleteIn the USA we have talked to many people who are way past this age who are still working just to keep their company subsidized medical coverage and in many cases with a spouse in a care facility. The unemployment situation would certainly change if most of those people could now retire and make room for the unemployed!
