Wander project (more water) and memories!

I can’t wander to water right now physically. The lake nearest me is closed for human use. The other lake is still open, but it is a little harder to get to, and we haven’t gone to date. I suspect we will walk around the smaller lake soon. I miss being around the water. The problem is that all parks and playgrounds have been closed near us. So I suspect that at least ½ the lake is closed. Who knows, in the days of stay at home, what and how we interact with the world is very different.  Instead, I am going to spend the rest of this post having fun with the pictures that I am sharing today. Fifteen years ago, we had a chance to go to Mexico. In particular to the city of Nueva Porto on the Pacific Ocean.

We’ve been to both sides of the US, and both sides of Mexico (Atlantic and Pacific). The reason I was excited about this trip was that it was by the city of Puerto Vallarta. Ok, so now everyone thinks Doc has been stuck in his office far too long. I had a guilty pleasure I was a teenager. I watched the show “Love Boat” with my sisters. We also watched the show “BJ and the Bear.” Love Boat was a show about the Cruise Ship (ok, not a floating petri dish). It was about the stories of the people. They, on the Love Boat, docked in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. So, getting to go IRL (in-real-life) was fascinating for me. I know it wasn’t a lot of anything, but it was exciting for me!

Every evening there was a pirate ship that slipped out of the harbor and fired off a cannon. Perhaps to announce that pirates don’t like tourists. Or maybe to announce the impending sunset. Or maybe just to keep the gun clean in case of later need to reinstitute the private life on the Pacific Ocean. We made sure to watch that ship every single day! Back then, we were sardine vacationing. To keep costs down, we all shared one room. We usually got a place with two king beds and a cot. I wonder if we maintained a safe distance back then! We enjoyed that vacation, other than the fear of the private uprising. That part made me nervous. Anyway, today a wonder, wander to water!
