"Humildad"
A strong cultural characteristic of the Mexican people is their humility. They are unpretentious, filled with goodwill and have sunny dispositions. In business, Mexicans are reticent about promoting themselves, and expect their foreign counterparts to find out who they are and what their qualifications are.

Los Ayala - A Different Kind of Mexico
Just a forty-five minute drive north of Puerto Vallarta, at the foot of the Sierra de Vallejo Mountains, lies the lovely seaside fishing village of Los Ayala. Easily accessible by rental car, taxi, or bus, the drive there is half the experience, with lush, dense jungle on display alongside the highway, separated by surf towns and seaside villages along the way, as well as the occasional traditional cemetery to admire. This is not your typical Mexican vacation destination. You won’t find sprawling all-inclusive resorts here, no Hard Rock Cafes, no Planet Hollywood's, and no poolside beer-chugging competitions. In short, my kind of place.

Rincón de Guayabitos is a small colorful beach resort tucked up in a corner (rincón) of Jaltemba Bay, a stretch of the Pacific Coast of Mexico known for its wide sandy beach and waves that lap more often than they lunge. Everyone heads for the water in Guayabitos with no fear of being pummeled or drug out to sea. They romp around with giant inflatable dinosaurs and lobsters, eat barbeque shrimp on a stick, bury each other in sand piles flourished with anatomically enhanced body parts, and generally enjoy being with family in a tropical paradise free from city pressures.

Serendipity
Thinking Small Leads to the Perfect Mexican Beach Town
Along the Pacific Coast north of Puerto Vallarta, visitors argue about which beach town is best. Is it one of the more developed towns within shouting distance of Puerto Vallarta, or do you have to head up the coast and farther away from the major resorts, to a place like Rincón de Guayabitos? Or maybe the perfect...

Unique Day Trips
Last hot, hot summer, Bruce and I took up on an invite from Lenor and Terry Coomber to join with Dawn and Brian Blevings for a trip to the swimming holes up El Monteon Creek. We had a nice day bobbing around in one of the many pools that people have scooped out of the gravel creek-bed. We gorged from coolers full of snacks and icy beverages. We napped on big sunny boulders and marveled at the variety of butterflies that came fluttering by us.

La Peñita de Jaltemba
A Working Town
La Peñita de Jaltemba is the largest of the four towns that make up the community of Jaltemba Bay. A long, leisurely stroll up Guayabitos Beach, which lies just north of Los Ayala, will get you there. As will a short ride on the collectivo, a unique Mexican form of transportation. It’s a Volkswagen van that seats eight comfortably but rarely carries less than a dozen people. It’s worth the trip – especially on a Thursday...
