Iguana andJungle Cooking

What a handsome guy.

Never saw Night of the Iguana, until here in Puerto Vallarta where it was filmed. John Huston film, brilliant; young Richard Burton and Ava Gardner, very saucy, highly recommend this film. And! Still to this day, young shirtless, Mexican boy's follow you around playing the maracas!

This kitchen in the jungle had it all. 

Avocado, mini limes, cilantro, fresh tuna, tomato, jalapenos, fresh garlic,and Tequila.....What shall we make? Turned out to be Fresh Martguerita's and Chevcie. Cholada was the name on the gate and the hike up is not for the weak. For $10.00 a night you can sleep in the open jungle in tents or in the bed swing room overlooking Yelapa bay.The kitchen was awesome and the company excellent. We drank Chilean red wine after the Margaritas and feasted on the Cheviche.

Perfect Margarita

This was quite possibly the best margarita I have ever tasted.

Captain Daz joined me on Yelapa in time to enjoy this jungle retreat. Afterward we went to the Oasis bar and listened to Gabrielle play and sing like a songbird.  Jason accompanied her on the flute and clarinet. The talent in this little corner of the universe is amazing.  It turns out Ron knows Jason!  It's a small Yelapa world. (Really love this place)
