Josh, I was in Arandas to attend a friend's wedding, and the closest place to
go was PV, (I am with the whole family), but the hotel I am staying has a nice
beach and is not so far from the old part of town, which is surprisingly full
of fine restaurants and to tell you the truth in some of them I had very good
drinks too. As far as the margaritas is nothing new, but I always hope maybe
one day it will be possible to drink decent Margaritas in Mexico as well , yes
I say Mexico because yestarday I saw a sign on a bar door saying " Aqui
Hablamos espaņol", I found it hilarious...
cheers
Dom
