Puerto Vallarta Vacation - Day 2

So it is day 2 of our vacation in Puerto Vallarta.  We are are the Villa Del Palmar in Centro. The first task in the list after a good night's sleep is to get some groceries.  Even if you ad planned on dining in resort restaurants for every meal, there are some basics you will probably need.  Paper towels, coffee, coffee filters to name a few. We had planned of doing some dining in the room.  The Villa Del Palmar in Centro is going to be updated.  So the on resort market had been temporarily downsized. We found a decent size market about 2 blocks away.  Anacceptable walk. When we got done it was clearly more than we wanted to carry back to the resort. We called for a Uber to take us back to the resort.  The fare was about 450 pesos,  about $2.50 US.  We gave the driver about the same as a tip. Then we settled down for drinks,followed by dinner and then more drinks.
