Only 15 Minutes Away - Day 85

From our balcony, we can look over the Romantic Zone, across the river, and to the hill behind the Centro area. There are a number of communication towers up there. The closest one has two radars that rotate only on days cruise ships are visiting Puerto Vallarta. This is a photo I slapped on Facebook this morning to annoy my cousin in snow-buried Maine.


No floating hotels were in today, but I decided to hike up that hill. I crossed our section of town on Aguacate Street, then over the suspension bridge to the Cultural Center on the River Cuale Island. Next, I climbed the relatively new pedestrian walkway linking Gringo Gulch.

From there, I climbed up a random network of stairways to the area in upper image. It is a 360 degree photo sphere. The other three are simply photographs from the same area. (Enlarge the sphere by selecting the 'View on Google Maps' option at the top left of the image.) I had my headphones and watched the bay for a while as I listened to a number of tunes, a mixed bag. I walked down a different route.

Oh, and in the afternoon, we went to see 30 Shades of Grey. Yes, I know this is in very small font size as I'm not shouting about it.
