10 Healthy Things We Do While Living in Mexico When It's Hot Outside

 June in Puerto Vallarta is Hot and Humid

Jon and Terry Cooling Off at Happy Hour

Day 1: Eating Fresh Mangos with Cottage Cheese

We ate a delicious, fresh mango with a little cottage cheese. Healthy! I love our fresh mangoes. And we're fortunate to be able to buy cottage cheese here.

The Roof of Our Condominium has a Nice Sunset View

Day 2: Spending the Evening at the Roof Garden

We lounged in the Roof Garden living room, read, enjoyed the view and sunset, took a dip in the pool, and had dinner with Happy Hour drinks.

Day 3—Relaxing and throwing the ball for Sophie on the balcony in the evening. 

Watching the hummingbirds at the feeder is part of the entertainment.

Zona Z Boutique Hotel and Massage

Day 4--Therapeutic Massage

I had a Therapeutic Massage at ZonaZ Boutique Hotel for the first time. Ahhh❤ Frita gave me a great massage, adjusting the pressure when I requested more or less in areas that needed it.

We also like to have massages at Aura Spa. That's a good, healthy walk on the Malecon from home. You can see more in my article, Weekly Massages in Mexico for Our Mental and Physical Wellbeing.

Day 5—Work Out in the Gym

We work out in the air-conditioned gym when it's hot and humid outside. We listen to audiobooks to make exercising more fun. The recumbent bike and weight machines are perfect for Jon to strengthen his body as he battles Parkinson's Disease and improve overall health.

Day 6—Friday Evening Walk on Malecon and Dinner at Oyster Grill

We started our one-mile walk at about 7:00 once the heat and humidity had dropped. Friday evenings are great for a walk on the Malecón, with lots happening along the way, including a beautiful sunset. It was our first dinner at the Oyster Grill—an excellent choice for Fish and Chips, plus people-watching.

Day 7--Cool Off in the Infinity Pool

When it’s 88°F with a Real Feel of 97°F, we take our Happy Hour Cocktails and get in the pool. At 6:00 in the evening, as the sun drops, the UV index was only 3 of 10 in Puerto Vallarta, so the potential for damage to the skin and eyes was fairly low. Time to cool off!

Day 8--Celebrate Father's Day at Serrano's Grill

We celebrated Father’s Day at Jon’s favorite steakhouse, Serrano’s Grill. That giant ficus tree was full of different kinds of birds, perfect for bird-watching. The view is always lovely; just a little hazy yesterday due to the humidity and some smoke from a small wildfire we could see in the jungle across the bay.

The food was delicious, a well-deserved treat for this special man, dad to our three children.

Day 9—Zumba Gold Practice with My Sayulita Home Videos

Zumba Gold Practice with My Home Videos from When I Taught in Sayulita, Pre-Covid

I practiced indoors this time, with air conditioning. If you listen closely, you can hear the neighbor’s rooster crowing. (Jon went to the gym)

Day 10--A Doctor Consultation at SanMare Clinic After Our Annual Check-Ups

The doctors and staff at SanMare are great! The pharmacy is convenient for purchasing medication, so we don’t have to make another stop on the way home. One minor treatment and lab test to go, and our health will be all clear.
