Beach vendors in Puerto Vallarta are happy to be back, even if business is slow

Raymundo, a handicrafts vendor and renter of tables, chairs and umbrellas on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, appreciates being away from home again, doing the job he has done for more than 10 years.

"We were already seeing the reality as difficult, the savings have been gone for weeks and we no longer knew what to do," Raymundo begins, recounting the moment he wipes the sweat from his face under the scorching sun.

With 4 children and a wife to feed, Raymundo began to leave his house this week with the aim of selling handicrafts . . .
