Slow Dancer was in Marina Vallarta for a month. Due to our trip to the states, we were only able to experience this area for two weeks. What we found was a mixture of old world charm and new technology mixed with a lot of tourism.
We spent New Year’s Eve watching the beautiful fireworks and Chinese lanterns set off all around the marina. It was a fitting start to a new year filled with adventure.
Leaving tomorrow to head south to the many anchorages along the Pacific coast.
