South of the border

Our experience several years ago in Puerto Vallarta was nothing short of sublime.

But before watching, here's a hot tip:  Head to Chavez Market on the corner of El Camino and Fifth Avenue in Redwood City.  You'll find foods you don't generally see in other grocery stores/if you do, they'll be twice the price. GREAT/fresh chunky or smooth guacamole in the deli area.  A wonderful Taqueria tucked inside as well.  Think of it as a tourista-free trip south of the border!

Grab some chips, make yourself a mango margarita/recipe below/add a little guacamole and salsa.  Then sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful views and lovely/artistic/hand-crafted, decorative details.

It was truly a magical, memorable wedding venue.  And a superb vacation for us. 

Thank you again and again, Coan family.
