I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The [caption id="attachment_2003" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week, I have a very special interview with Sylvie Scopazzo, an expat From Canada who has a great story, but first, what’s happening this week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico March 14th, 2018. Don’t Forget Art Walk Puerto Vallarta Every Wednesday in Puerto Vallarta, in the downtown area there is art walk, it goes from 6 till 10 PM. [caption id="attachment_2631" align="aligncenter" width="592"] Art Walk PV[/caption] It starts every year at the end of October and it goes through the end of May. There are 13 galleries participating and the way you do it, because it’s not a guided tour, it’s a self-guided tour and you get a mop, or you download it on your phone, but you can get the maps from participating galleries for free of course, then you start your self-guided tour of the galleries which will of course be open and happy to see you pass through, look at all the pretty art, maybe have a glass of wine or whatever the gallery might be serving the passersby, and you walk around the downtown streets of Puerto Vallarta, and get a chance to check out the art scene without standing out like a sore thumb. You will be expected to stop in and browse. Not to mention, make a purchase from one of these fine galleries. The walking isn’t too bad because most of these galleries are not up in the hilly section, so it’s pretty flat, but remember, some of you may be all tipsy and whatnot from the adult beverage sipping, so be careful. It will be dark. If you want more information, just go to my show notes or to http://vallartaartwalk.com/ I have a link to the event as well as their Facebook page so check it out when you are in town. And remember to stop in to see Gary Thompson [caption id="attachment_2632" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Malecon Sculpture Tour with Gary Thompson[/caption] of Galeria Pacifico, and tell him I said hello, and listen to that episode where I go along with Gary in his Malecon Sculpture Tour. Remember he is [caption id="attachment_2633" align="alignright" width="314"] Library Los Mangos[/caption] doing a sunset tour too on Thursday evenings, so say hello, thank him for all his hard work, and maybe go on one of his tours where at the end, he asks for donation for Biblioteca Los Mangos. See all that in the show notes as well. Today is a special day on my calendar, and it’s the day, 31 years ago that I asked my lovely wife Debbie, to marry me in Puerto Vallarta, at a restaurant called La Casita, on Panama. I’ve told the story before. I got on my knee, she said yes, she cried, we had a wonderful meal. You can read all about it on my PV stories page on the website. I have pictures I took last January of the place, that closed do
