It sort of looked like the artist got his ideas from the Star Wars bar scene, but most of the sculptures on the boardwalk (really cement) were very strange and alien-like. We were told to go in to Puerto Vallarta in the evening to see the activity but we were too tired the first day so we hit the town in the late afternoon. Tables were just being put up so I am sure we missed a lot of artists so we will have to go back another time. Our hotel is about 30 minutes from downtown, so we chose the bus as our transportation into town. It was very rough, hot, and had really small, hard seats, but it was cheap. On the way to town and in town, we noticed how much US commerce has extended into this area. We saw WalMart, Sams, Home Depot, Outback, Carl Jrs, Pizza Hut, Dominos, Office Depot, Hard Rock Cafe, and of course the always pervasive KFC and McDonalds.
