We rode past this statue of Neptune at the Puerto Vallarta marina several times and each time R and E pointed and shouted out, "There's King Neptune again!" My family spent alot of time during the summers when we were young sailing along the coast of British Columbia. One the stories our parents used to tell us around bedtime was that King Neptune would be coming soon to check and see if all the children were asleep yet. If ever we heard the dinghy or a buoy (on the nights we were tied up to one) bumping against the the side of the boat, they would say "Oh, there he is now! You'd better get to sleep!" Now, anytime we stay near the ocean, our boys hear the same stories from us and my parents.
