Beach Wednesday - Boy on the Seahorse (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)
I am very excited that in two weeks I'll be headed to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate a friend's birthday. So to get ready, I thought why not look back to my last trip there for #beachwednesday.
I took this photo two days before the end of 2016. I traveled to PV for New Years with a group of 15 friends to celebrate that along with another friend's birthday. Anyone who's been to PV will most likely recognize this statue on the beach. It's called Boy on a Seahorse, created by Rafael Zamarripa Castañeda. An original version of this statue was created in 1960 and then a replica in 1976. Both the original and the replica have been swept out to sea in a storm only to be recovered later. Not to worry, after being swept away in 2002, this statue is now reinforced and anchored so it shouldn't be going anywhere! I am so looking forward to returning here very soon!
Thanks to @uwelang for creating and @lizanomadsoul for curating #beachwednesday!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Some of my friends originally wanted to go to Puerto Vallarta for our spring break, but all the plans completely ended up falling through for it...this makes me that much more mad that I'm not going to be there a week from now :(.
Always at the top thank you
Wow that's really cool. It reminds me of something like Don Quixote if he was raised near the beach.
Are you gonna stay on the Pacific coast of Mexico only or will you show up here on the Caribbean coast too? :)
Can't wait to head to the East!! Will be at Mazatlan tomorrow...will get there eventually! Haha!
Yay! You will love it here :) I am 100% sure.
I'm staying on the Pacific coast, about 45 minutes from PV. I need to make it to the Caribbean coast sometime soon!
You do! :) Especially if you havent been here yet... We are planning a short trip to LA to see if this place is really as beautiful as your photos suggest ;)
Oh how fun! We are RVing down this minute...Mazatlan first and then in 12 days we will be there too for a couple of months!!! Safe travels @schmidthappens
