Talking mexico

Post by JROJEFF » Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:47 pm

I got off work last night at about midnight ( working night shift for awhile )
and went to a local bar. There was only about 5-6 people there and we started doing shots . I was wearing a pv shirt and a guy and his wife noticed, they are also mexico lovers . Im sure you know what the rest of the night was until closing. I cant believe we didnt end up at the airport and on our way to paradise :lol: jeff

Same here. Every time i see someone in a P.V. shirt guaranteed i will ask them were they stayed, or if they mention they are going to P.V. the first thing i tell them is to make sure they go to PiPi's for dinner. Friend of mine have a daughter who is getting married next year in P.V. and they were asking questions about it, i told them all that i could but my knowledge about weddings in P.V. is rather limited ( iam probably not the best person to ask about being married anyway right about now ) so i told them about this real cool site that has more info. then they will ever use, it is called puertovallarta.net. Anyone ever heard of it?
Man am i ever long winded here.

Me too. I'm sure some people must think I can't hold a conversation about any other topic. It's embarrassing sometimes. And do you ever find yourself not saying something like "that reminds me of the time in Mexico............." just so you're not so predictable?

This afternoon I was in a shop and overheard a couple women speaking Spanish to each other. Man that took me back, we don't have a lot of Spanish speakers in my little community. I smiled for hours.

I work in an ER and we use Spanish interpretors. One of the interpretors was conversing with a patient today and I heard "Jalisco" - my ears perked up!! I understood!! I envy people that can speak fluent Spanish. I'd love to learn, I'm afraid my head has grown shut and I cannot learn anymore!!

I find one of the hardest things to do when we return from PV is going shopping back home and wanting to barter for clothes and jewelry - I look at the price tag and try to think what I would start the "bid" at in Mexico!!

I enjoy the barter system and in Canada in the trades one uses it at times...how fun to be able to barter when shopping for clothes .

I love the spanish language. On day two of our trip last week about 60% of the words comming out my mouth was in spanish. It didn't take very long for it all to come back. It was fun to teach other guests some words and phrases. And of course I did make some mistakes and was cheerfully corrected. ¡Viva la gente de México!

Yep, 1st weekend back at the hospital and people are asking "So when are you planning to go back?" I guess they know me too well.

We first went to PV in 1984 and bought our first T/S in 86. I recall saying "won't it be nice to be able to trade places through RCI?" This October will be the 23rd consecutive year and now have 2 T/S, have never traded and each year is as good, if not better then the year before. Use to be that the one week was fine, now the 3 weeks is not enough.

No, no one that has the PV addiction is crazy. Well maybe.

I hear you there Chuck... as i am working on putting a quick vacation in October to our home away from home... and there are many people that ask us when our next trip is, and when we tell them, the go so soon or why are you waiting until then... it is like come on people we love PV and if i had a private jet at my disposal it would be every month for a long weekend, or every three months for a week or ten days...

but we definitely need to get down there and get our mental attitudes checked out for sure... :wink: :lol: 8)
