On Wednesday the Burrito Gang (Juan Marcos, Pedro, Sharón, Richardo, y Christina) decided to take in the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta. After an hour of two Mexican style bus rides, we arrived at the Puerto Vallarta Malecón. A ‘malecón’ might best be described as a boardwalk where one would slowly and casually stroll along the waterfront stopping to observe the variety of artisans including those who are creating the ever so popular sand sculptures.
We were pleasantly surprised with a noon performance by a group of native Indians who proceeded to climb a 60 ft. pole, tie a robe around themselves, and then swing around until they reached the beach. I call it crazy, but very entertaining. Meanwhile, their ‘teammates’ played a flute like instruments filling the spectators with a cultural experience. The photos don’t come close to capturing the look on the faces of visitors, including ours.
I do know, and with no regrets, that this activity has now been removed from my so called ‘bucket’ list.
