Puerto Vallerta 2

Just arrived on land and have set up the computer next to the pool. We are soooo damn lucky to have found this wonderful, generous Jim from Tahoe who has done so much to help us. We spent the entire day doing errands; luckily Jim had much to do as well, so he got a great deal accomplished, and we stopped by a huge store comparable to West Marine, found the recommended specialists who told us our pump was definitely unfixable. We have ordered the new pump by way of another contact in San Diego, who gets the part needed, gives it to someone who crosses the border and sends it on the plane in Tiajuana, and we pick it up at the PV airport. Hopefully all will happen quickly and we can move on; meanwhile, we have been having a wonderful time eating fresh fish and veggies at Jim's and eating at little Mexican places when convenient. In fact, we need to go join Jim for breakfast right now at his place. [More later.]
