Breakfast: egg on english muffin, 8 ounces of carrot juice. Rode Uber Pool to SFO. Virgin America flight from SFO to PVR (Puerto Vallarta). Breakfast at Plant Store #71 inside Terminal 2: latte, granola with fruit cup: $14.18. At the airport and on the plane I watched via downloaded Amazon Video Now You See Me 2 (a 99-cent rental), Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel, and most of Jim Jeffries' I Swear to God. Danny arranged for us a transfer to the AirBnb. We rode to Old Puerto Vallarta. Jonny checked us in and gave us a tour of the condo unit, rooftop pool, and gym. Jonny departed. Internet was frightfully slow: 0.11 Mbps down, 0.14 Mbps up. We walked to dinner at Joe Jack's Fish Shack (322-222-2099, Basilio Badillo 212, Colonia E Zapata), catching views of the sunset between the buildings along the way. Dinner with Danny, Drew, and Phil: passionfruit margaritas and a mojito, portobello quesadilla, ceviche sampler, tortilla chips. Phil and Danny shared the whole red snapper. Drew had mahi mahi. I had breaded fish tacos. All dishes were very fresh, and the service was excellent. For dessert we shared butterscotch pudding. On the way home we encountered a street market selling only food—perhaps we'll return another night. We stopped at Oxxo for some items then returned home. I showered, then we all visited the roof for a late night swim. The hot tub was very strong but not very hot. Afterwards we returned to the room. Drew and I watched via downloaded Amazon Video The New Yorker Presents s1:e1 and Woody Allen's Crisis in Six Scenes and the last eleven minutes of Jim Jeffries' I Swear to God. To bed.
