Puerto Vallarta Beaches Healing After Two Hurricanes🌀🌀Some Restaurants are Open!

 El Dorado Restaurant is Open!

Do You See What is Missing?

I had breakfast at El Dorado Restaurant on Los Muertos Beach in Puerto Vallarta two days ago for the first time after the recent devastating storms. I was happy that they were mostly back to normal after the two hurricanes last week that brought extremely high waves. The wooden boardwalk was missing, and my first thought was that it had washed away!

People and Dogs Walked Next to the Ocean

Rather than Through the Restaurant

I noticed that without the boardwalk, people and dogs walked along the ocean rather than through the tables and lounge chairs. I felt it was more peaceful in the restaurant, but that was temporary. The boardwalk would return when the danger of high waves eased.

My Huevos Divorciados were beautiful and Delicious!

Not all restaurants fared as well last week. On October 6, Hurricane Priscilla caused waves that flowed through and destroyed some beach restaurants. El Barracuda, on Calle Paraguay in Puerto Vallarta, is still temporarily closed on this date. See the video of the waves at this news link: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17ByHU583J/.

Jon had Fish Tacos at El Barracuda Just Before High Waves

Jon and I had just enjoyed fish tacos at El Barracuda two days before Hurricane brought high waves that devastated this restaurant. I'm grateful we did. It will be a while before they open again, but they never give up!

The Marigalante ship disaster, as it took on water, was another result of the storms. All members of the Puerto Vallarta Pirate Ship crew were rescued during high seas on October 10. No passengers were on board at that time. The ship sank later that day. See the rescue at this link:  https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16S3Y8vYbd/.

Puerto Vallarta is still reeling from the sinking of our Marigalante ship. This is such a sad video of her last moments: https://www.facebook.com/reel/2339589686472792. But her sister ship is on its way from Cancun to continue the pirate ship tradition here.

Heavy rain after the hurricanes has created severe flooding in parts of Puerto Vallarta. Hundreds of homes and families were affected. Several organizations are collecting funds and goods to help the flood victims.

Vallarta Cares Helps People

Please donate to Vallarta Cares. Money, food, and supplies are needed. Donate here: https://vallartacares.com/donations.

Here's one way to donate to Vallarta Cares for aid to the hundreds of families affected by recent flooding in the PV area:

I shopped online at La Comer and had items delivered to Vallarta Cares. The order of non-perishable items arrived between 12 and 1:00 today. I don't have a car, so that was the easiest and quickest way I could think of to help a few flood victims.
