15 October 2010
There was really nothing on the schedule for today, so it was once again a lazy morning. We headed for the pools. We’ve never spent so much time in swimming pools in a week before. It was relaxing and a little exercise.
After our last lunch in our room, we headed out for one more ride on the public transit to down town. Our goal was art galleries, with the possibility of adding to our Nativity collection. Stopping in a few stores, we did see some that were interesting, and not outrageously expensive. After wandering some more, even in the Mercado, where they all looked like they came from the same place, though hand painted, we stopped at Peyote People, a store that specializes in native art from indigenous peoples of Mexico.
We had shopped there when we were here on a cruise a few years ago, and had bought a couple of Huichol (we-chol) pieces. The proprietor even puts together Nativities from their work. This time, we bought a piece from the Tarahumara and from ______. They make good additions to our collection.
Since it was too early for dinner after our successful shopping, we wandered back to the Malecon, and stopped at Starbucks (in contrast to the native art). The restaurant we planned to go to didn’t open until 6. So about 6 we wandered up the hill to Arrayan, a relatively new restaurant with an open courtyard on the first floor. Once again, the food was excellent, and not touristy.
As we headed back to the main street to catch the bus, we noticed it was almost sunset. So we once again headed for the Malecon for one last PV sunset. It was a good one. Then we caught the bus out to our hotel. We arrived there in time for one more dip in the pool before packing for the trip home.
