vieques puerto rico
sitting poolside sippin a cold frosty beer watching the waves roll in yes there is surf in Vieques.... bravos de boston couldn't be a finer place to unwind. stop in town early morning for some fresh pasties and possibly a cerveza if you are so incline. not sure of the name of the joint but just go to the center of Isabella and look for the lazy days of Cuba when sittin on the stoop chillin was a perfect way to enjoy a sunny day. Don't ask for anything fancy just straight up is how they poor it here and at our other favorite watering hole, El Sombrero. Don't let the drunken chatter fool you, the wine selection in the back temperature controlled room is nothing close to shabby. The prices on the Don Piedro can;'t be beet. try the two star it's lighter... If you are hankerin for some Labrador ribs head to the Blue Crab and your whole experience will bring you back to Normandy. If you want to try something off the beaten path even for Vieques head over the Barefoot Bes...
sayulita mexico
Back tracking a bit to find the best taco via Pacific Mexico. Surf and sun aside, the coast north of Puerto Vallarta is great eating grounds for searching for the best taco stand. The little sleepy town of Sayulita is a great starting place. Ivan's Tacos on the main road will keep you craving but only after 6pm. What's a girl to do all day long. Head to Tacos Vicki in La Penita.....La Penita hosts the Thursday Market so take the drive from Vallarta or Sayulita early on Thursday and walk the main road by the bus station with your eyes peeled for Tacos Vicki. The Thursday market can fill your rental up with anything your heart desires. Personally I find the end of the walk thru the market yields the best finds. I picked up a candelabra the first trip and when I returned I was on a mission for a vintage Mexican mortar and pestle and walla.... the same man hooked me up! There are many options for accommodations in Sayulita. The second time we chose the Sayulita Trailer Park. If the...

t he purpose of this sight is to bring back our travels thru photos, food and fun.... just plain amazing that's what this place is! I have an inner smile from ear to ear when I think of this place from our beginnings on the mainland - surfing the coast from Montanita to the pristine and empty spots along the coast. Hook up with our friends, Mia and David to find not only the best breaks but the most amazing aloe massage and chocolate cheese cake to die for "who would of thought" when the surf has died or your just plain wiped, head to the beach for ceviche right out of the sea and a grande Pilsner to wash it down. Stay out of town at the Casa del sol ($20 a night and includes breakfast) but make sure you get a second floor room. If you want to be closer to the sea, Randy's friends in front of the Casa have cute little cabinas ($30 a night but go ahead and splurge) Randy can also arrange to pick you up and take you back to the Airport. The flight gets in late but I sug...
