Another lazy morning in PV! Sleep a bit late, a leisurely breakfast, reading overlooking the ocean, and a dip or two in the pool. Then a quiet lunch, another dip, and then got ready for the day’s adventure: The Rhythms of the Night.
We once again rode the city bus, this time out to the Marina. We had been told the boat left at 6:30, so we left in plenty of time to be there before six. It didn’t take long on the bus, even though we overshot the marina and had to walk back several blocks. And then found the tour didn’t actually leave till 7:00. But that’s better than being late or rushing too much.
The trip started with the boat ride south of town to Las Caletas, the former estate of John Huston, which still has no electric power lines to it. They do have electricity for their show, either from generators or batteries. All the other light is from torches and candles. The boat ride over included appetizers and an open bar, although the margaritas were fairly weak.
The show is a music and dance presentation based loosely on Aztec motifs. Lots of drums and lots of torches. It was a very interesting show.
After the show they served dinner, a buffet that included many choices: salads, vegetables, pastas, potatoes, and at least three types of meet, plus a dessert table. It was all quite good. This is an all-inclusive event, so there was also an open bar, or rather open bar service. That meant Dick could finish the meal with a good shot of tequila.
After a smooth boat ride back to the marina, we took a taxi back to Los Tules, shared with several others, as it was late enough that the busses were no longer running.
