Sights along the Boardwalk

Late afternoons, Friday and Saturday nights, and weekends were reserved for beach time, sunsets, long walks (ahem, 10,000 steps), leisurely dinners, exploring, and well, as the title of blog states, love. ❤️

About a half mile from where I was staying, but still well within the neighborhood that is known as Zona Romántica (the Romantic Zone, or officially Emiliano Zapata neighborhood), there was a park. It is one of the most unique parks to which I have ever been. You know Park Güell, by Antonio Gaudí, in Barcelona? More unique than that! This one in PV has the most beautiful mosaic benches. Have a look- can you guess which one is my favorite?











  Although I'm a sucker for hearts (because, you know, love! 🤣), I really appreciate the detail on the "Day of the Dead" La Catrina [fourth from the top] with the roses on her hat. I absolutely love hats, so maybe that is why this one speaks to me!? I also really like the one that looks like a sofa from the 1970s.

There is also this hysterical "scene" towards the front of the park, and this is the perfect whimsical photo to show it off. 😁 This was from when my friend Jan came to visit, and well- there it is.


Continuing my walk past the park and down the mile long Malecon (boardwalk), there is another mosaic. When I went to take a picture, a little girl ran to it, mesmerized by it. It's a cityscape of PV.


With a backdrop of the ocean. 


And the sunset that night.... 😍😍😍

The sunsets.... were absolutely amazing. 

Continuing further down the boardwalk are the letters spelling out Puerto Vallarta. This was on one of the less busy nights.



And then, yup, further down the Malecon, is the bronze art. I'll leave you with just one piece for today. It's art like this, and majestical sunsets, warm beachy weather, and a feeling of openness and safety that really allow for a lot of self-reflection and meditation, and time to think about what is really important to you. Love? (Obviously!) Money? Freedom? Health? Happiness? Marriage? Peace? Let's get together again next week. 🦋💕

Letter to My Younger Self

Image
 As I reflect back on 2023, I am filled with gratitude. Not just gratitude, but wonder and appreciation for this life. About a month ago, while in PV, I decided to write a letter to my younger self. What I wrote came from the heart, and the end result surprised me. I am sharing it with you all here. I encourage you all to write letters to your younger selves as well - what might yours say? Dear younger self, Welcome to your beautiful life! You were so brave to decide at 23 that you wanted to move to Paris! You did it, and you built a beautiful life there, making amazing memories that you will cherish forever. Don’t feel bad that mom didn’t come to visit you yet- you will show her Paris on a very special mother-daughter trip in 20 years. You love Paris and also love Stockholm. You will discover other parts of the world- on other continents- that will capture your heart as much as Europe did. You will go places. You’ll see new cities. You will meet people. You will try amazing food from

From Ley Lines to Energy Vortexes

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Did you miss me!? I missed me! I missed you! And now we're back together, yay!! I swear, when I'm not traveling I feel like my soul is dying, like I can't get enough oxygen. And when I am traveling I'm in the moment, breathing, living, loving. So that's where I've been, and now I'm back home, and ready to share my adventures with you! Let's jump right in. Some of you know that I was supposed to participate in an energy retreat in Sedona in January. It got postponed, but of course my adventurous self decided that I was going to head out west anyway because the excitement had been working up over the previous 4-5 months and I just had to go. Instead of spending two whole weeks in Sedona like originally planned, I did re-work the itinerary somewhat. Are you familar with the Peter Lik photo that was taken at Upper Antelope Canyon? **Frantically googling Peter Lik** Well, photos of people (acquaintances) visiting that location kept mak

Food Connection Adventure❣️

Image
Months have gone by since I was last here. 💝 The pulse is still the same. The vendors go by. Selling chachkis. Selling food. Some are the same- I recognize their voices. Cotton candy, oysters, ceviche, rosary beads. You can literally get it all here.   I chat with Cesar, because I always sit in his section where he rents chairs and umbrellas.  I feel safe here. I catnap. I catnap several.times.a.day. It’s glorious. I go get ice cream. I go for a swim. I people watch. My head bops along to the music around me, whether it’s traditional Mexican music, Taylor Swift, or live guitar music from strolling musicians. I read my book- it’s a great one: My Own Magic.  I have some updated aspirations for this trip, and here they are: -try 10 restaurants I’ve never been to before -strike up a meaningful conversation with 1 new person every day -15,000 steps day I’m headed out soon for tonight’s boardwalk stroll- and it will bring Food, Connection, and Adventure. Kind of like the November 2023 take
