Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and last week I had the most marvelous breakfast at La Palapa, we both had their killer eggs Benedict, it’s got a crab cake base instead of the usual muffin, served with perfectly cooked potatoes on the plate, Debbie and I just gobbled them up.  seated with our toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It was so romantic, it was so Puerto Vallarta my friends!

Pride Week Puerto Vallarta From the Facebook Page at Vallarta Pride... For the fifth consecutive year, from May 20 to 27, 2018, Puerto Vallarta will welcome the largest LGBT Pride event in the region: Vallarta Pride. [caption id="attachment_3187" align="alignright" width="226"] Vallarta Pride[/caption] Associations, companies and the entire LGBT community have joined together again to organize this event that celebrates the lifestyle diversity of our city in a 7-day festival that will offer arts and culture events, concerts, entertainment, films, fun, lots of partying and our fabulous Pride Parade. Our main events have a small donation and are non-profit to once again show the world the best of our accepting and vibrant community. It is that level of acceptance which has made Puerto Vallarta recognized worldwide as an LGBT mecca, hosting national and international gay visitors and creating a sophisticated culture that is an important artistic, professional, altruistic and economic contributor to the community. This cultural heritage was adopted by the Vallarta Pride Organizing Committee, which works in conjunction with public and private partnerships and to make our city a player on the world stage of LGBT celebrations. Vallarta Pride works towards a future without discrimination where we all have equal rights under fair and equal law. We believe we can achieve this through the LGBT events that inspire, commemorate and celebrate our community. So, I have links to the events planned through the  27th of May here in the show notes. So, if you are in town, you may want to check out the goings on check out the page. https://www.facebook.com/orgullovallartapride/ Restaurant Week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico [caption id="attachment_3184" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Restaurant Week Puerto Vallarta 2018[/caption] Restaurant week continues through June 10th.
