We set up for our late afternoon golf plans by taking a short walk around the neighbourhood to inspect some projects resurrected and actually making progress. That said, there are still some old project skeletons that don’t look likely to ever get going again. It would be nerve wracking to invest in any new construction project in this part of the world even though there are signs of very robust economies (it has seemed generally busy with lots of people paying up Palm Springs prices for Puerto Vallarta service). Hopped in a taxi for the short ride up the hill to Vista Vallarta which is a really beautiful golf coarse nestled in amongst barios, desert land fill and folks living rough (kinda). Lunch on the veranda overlooking the practice facility was once more excellent with peerless service from Salvador (that statement is not sarcastic, Salvador is excellent). We golfed with friends Deb and Ron from Karen’s golf girls group (Deb and Ron are from Penticton) who winter in Puerto Vallarta and have been doing so for many years.
We tee’d off after 2:30 and got in before dusk after a very enjoyable round. We were the last group in and found the usual line of taxis to be not present and had to wait. In typical Mexico fashion from none to two cabs and then the confused melee en Español, all four of us piled into one for the short trip back to Owners Club for a cerveca before strolling over to the Marina and back to our numero uno restaurante where we had a lovely dinner to top off a great day.
