Rhythms of the Night: Discover Your Hidden Adventure
Posted by: | CommentsGreetings again from Puerta Vallarta, Mexico!
Brigitte and I have one more night to spend in this enchanted place, and leave with a treasure chest full of memories and impressions. One of the best things we ever did was ignore our “Nah, let’s stay home” voice and follow the dream of an adventure across Banderas Bay to a little electicity-free spot on the other side where fun boat rides, outdoor pagentry and great food awaited us. We were not allowed to film the pageant – Rhythms of the Night – itself and there was no light to video the romantic dinner, but I was able to catch some of the trip’s highlights.
I walked away from this experience realizing how few adventures we really allow ourselves to take in this life . . . and how this hesitancy can easily melt away if we let it. The Logic of the Soul; enjoy!

Gringo in Mexico, Liz Taylor, Unicycles & Mariachis
Posted by: | CommentsYes, believe it or not, I saw a young man on a unicycle on my vacation to Mexico.
Brigitte and I were part of a group taking the city bus tour of Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and went by the ritzier part of town called “Gringo Gulch.” After we passed the house that Elizabeth Taylor owned during her highly-publicized affair with Richard Burton in the 60’s while filming “Night of the Iguana” (she since sold it), I caught a glimpe of the Uni rider stumbling down the sidewalk. A few of the other “Touristas” made a comment as well, while I sat content that my favorite sport seems to be catching on all over the world.
Our resort is beautiful, and we don’t really have the desire to go out anywhere. Check out the balcony views and Mariachi band serenading us from below:
