Mexico 2022 Days 3 and 4

We left off on Sunday evening, so I will start with Monday October 3rd. It was a beautiful morning and the hurricane had went up north leaving some beautiful views. We got ready and the girls asked me to snap a photo of them.




Then we headed off to another favorite breakfast place, Coco's Kitchen. We had the best breakfast with fresh smoothies and coffee fraps.

It was finally pool day and the girls were so excited! We spent a good 4 hours on the rooftop pool. As always, I take a ton of photos up there because you can see the whole Bay of Banderas. 

Puerto Vallarta

We had the pool to ourselves most days. There was also another couple and an older lady that we have seen there many times that we hung out with at the pool. They gave us tons of food recommendations!



After a day of swimming, we headed out to dinner. Now this is where I got Montezuma's from. I went back and forth on posting where we went, but decided to do it. We all shared everything except this one taco that I got, a garlic shrimp taco. We had tuna tar tar, firecracker shrimp, octopus tacos, a shrimp tostado and margs (us not the girls) and the only thing different was I got the garlic shrimp taco and the girls and Rory shared the octopus tacos. 

The food was amazing, but it hit me hard that night. I was too scared to leave the condo, even though we did quite often. Ha.

The best mango margs.




Something in this wrecked me.

I didn't feel it right away either. We went to an American style bar and watched the Niners game til half time there. I had a glass of wine, so it wasn't that either. Then we went back to the condo to watch the rest of the game, put the girls down and enjoy the Niners win!


That evening I woke up about 2 in the morning and spent a lot of the night in the bathroom. I never threw up, but had other issues....for weeks. 

I grabbed some pastries down at a little Parisian shop for breakfast, but just wasn't feeling great at all. 

We headed into town to go to their mall for some shopping and then next door to Walmart to try to get me some meds and basically a pedialite for me. I needed to rehydrate and feel better. Then it was some pool time. Well for Rory and the girls. I was too scared too. I didn't take many photos that day as I was too sick.


That evening we went to Italian food and ate some amazing food at Trattoria Di Nuovo. My stomach was still rough so we didn't get to enjoy a ton of appetizers, but the bruscetta, wine and pasta was amazing!

This picture was taken and within minutes, we had to move tables as part of the restaurant has an open roof and it started dumping on us.


Some killer pasta in Mexico!

The girls love tiramisu and ask for it all the time now.

It never stopped pouring, so we had another glass of wine and tried to wait it out. No luck. When we got outside it was still dumping and the streets were flooded. In the roads, it was about 8 inches or more of water flooding. We sat under some awnings and tried to wait for a taxi. 20 minutes later and a $5 cab ride for less than a mile and we were back at the condo. I have some amazing videos of it.

We watched the storm roll through on our balcony, but it rained for hours that night. Only that night too.

And that concludes days 3 and 4.

    1. It is the worst when traveling. But I did well for 14 years, it was bound to happen. The Italian dinner was a favorite of mine so I am glad I was able to make it and not get sick during it.

    1. Me too. I have never had Montezuma's and it was just awful. Thankfully it didn't ruin the whole trip.
