  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Friendship Club

    International Friendship Club

     

    The IFC, or in Spanish Club Internacional de la Amistad, is a great place to meet people if you’re new in town. For those interested in volunteer work the IFC is an outstanding prospect. The IFC has over one hundred members, who work to fund surgeries and several charities.

    The IFC Home Tours are a pastime we highly recommend if you’ve not yet taken the opportunity. From November to April, generous home owners open their doors and privates spaces, with trips leaving twice a week (Tuesday and Wednesday) for the Sea Monkey restaurant on the Malecón at Calle Aquiles Serdan. You can order tickets ahead at ifctoursforvallarta.com. You can also offer your own home for participation in the Home Tours.

    The IFC Home Tours are only one way the IFC raises money. All funds go to the IFC’s caring programs, chiefly among them the Cleft Palate Surgery and Clinic program, but also dental hygiene and educational programs, general financial assistance, and several Mexican charities that reach out to families in need. Among the areas that receive aid are the Clinica Santa Barbara de Rehabilitacion, a rehab center; Casa Hogar Maximo Cornejo, an orphanage; SETAC, our AIDS organization in Mexico; Pasito de Luz, a daycare for children in need of physical therapy and special attention; a new program at Biblioteca Los Mangos for parents and children to learn and increase reading skills; ant-venom and other medical supplies for communities with minimal medical services.

    There are many IFC fundraising events throughout high season, ending with a grand brunch at a chosen restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, with a variety of local entertainment and a fabulous raffle. Prizes for the raffle are donated by many businesses around town, including but not limited to retail items and jewelry from local jewelers, passes of sailing and fishing trips, shows at local venues, massage and spa treatments, music and dance classes.

    The IFC in Puerto Vallarta welcomes volunteers with professional expertise in medical, educational, and other fields and is always seeking supplies and equipment. All are welcome.

    As a member of the Puerto Vallarta IFC, which is open to all who are looking for the chance to help with humanitarian causes, you will also attend some wonderful and entertaining social, educational and cultural activities, and receive significant discounts from restaurants and merchants in Puerto Vallarta.

    The IFC Clubhouse is located above the HSBC bank where Insurgentes, Libertad and Miramar streets meet, on the north side of the Rio Cuale. Hours are 9 am – 3 pm, Monday – Friday, October – April, and May to July Monday – Thursday 9 am – 1:30 pm.

  • Vallarta: LGBTQ Vacation Paradise

    Gay Hotels in Puerto Vallarta

    Hotels in Puerto Vallarta welcome everyone but there are specific locations that cater to the gay crowd and go the extra mile to make sure their guests are not only comfortable but provided with the best concierge services. We have friends who recently had their entire family stay with them at a gay hotel and everyone was treated equally. Welcoming parties, shows, a majority of gay guests and a nice at-home feeling are what you will find at the following accommodations. All have private baths, air conditioning, parking and are within less than half an hour drive from the airport in Puerto Vallarta.

    Blue Chairs Resort has a variety of rooms for all budgets. Rooms range from double standards to master suites and kitchenettes, with high season rates as low as $63/night. This hotel is about as close to the beach as you’ll get across from Los Muertos, and has their own rooftop bar and restaurant. They offer a continental breakfast buffet and have a lower level bar/café. Rooms are stylish and often include Mexican rustic furniture. They provide flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, safes, tea and coffeemakers in-room. Blue Chairs Resort has a full service spa, a rooftop pool and fabulous views, with balconies on some units.

    Casa Cupula is a boutique hotel approximately five minutes from the beach, on foot. This is an adult only hotel and their prices are also very inviting. If it’s a more intimate setting you’re looking for, Casa Cupula is for you. With two swimming pools, hot tub, spa and a roomy terrace, plus an onsite gym, there’s not a whole lot more to ask for. But…they also have an onsite restaurant Taste, which gets rave reviews for their international cuisine. A casual bar onsite is a good place to stop for a fresh margarita before settling in to your beautiful decorated room, which is fully air conditioned. Other amenities include in-room mini-bar, coffeemaker, bathrobes, safes, flat-screen TV with DVD player and free WiFi. You’ll get a lot of bang for your buck peso at this Puerto Vallarta location.

    Olas Altas Suites has long been a favored destination in Puerto Vallarta for gay couples and is very family friendly. People go back to this location year after year and are pleased to be recognized by the same loyal staff. It is up the street from Los Muertos Beach and steps away from several gay bars, restaurants and clubs in the area. Taco stands and fine dining are adjacent to the lobby, with their own Restaurant Michel, serving Italian fare onsite. All suites provide fully equipped kitchenettes, TVs, free WiFi and the pool at the sister hotel is available for guests at the suites.

    Hotel Mercurio is located up the street from the famous Puerto Vallarta pier. Step out the front door and there it looms at the bottom of the street. A huge appeal of the Hotel Mercurio is its pool, which is open 24 hours a day. Massages are available upon request and the pool bar is open from early in the morning until very late at night. It’s a perfect spot to be on a hot summer night after dancing and partying.  Gourmet breakfasts are another Mercurio specialty.

    These hotels have on hand whatever you need for a day at the beach; towels, umbrellas and beach chairs, some for an additional charge. Pet accommodations should be inquired about ahead of time.

  • Puerto Vallarta Inspired Living News: Revolution Day

    Revolution Day in Puerto Vallarta

    It will be a long week of celebration in Puerto Vallarta this year for Revolution Day, with banks closed on November 18 and 20, schools being given the holiday, and some businesses taking the days to close and relax before the high season is upon us. Some will even turn it into a puente (bridge in Spanish), meaning they will take a vacation for the days off and the one in between, making it a five day holiday, including the weekend. This will bring a lot of Nationals coming into town, so the beaches will be busy.

    Revolution Day observes call to the end of the reign of Porfirio Díaz, after thirty-five years as president of Mexico. It’s hard for us to imagine any one person being in this high office for such a long period of time. When a wealthy landowner, Francisco I. Madero tried to oppose Díaz in the 1910 presidential election, the president had him imprisoned to put a stop to what he considered a futile attempt to overturn his incumbency. Madero escaped however, fled to San Lius Potosi and declared the election results that had favored Díaz fraudulent and himself, Madero as the provisional president. It was on this day, November 20, 1910 that Mexicans drew their forces together against Díaz.

    You will hear people in Puerto Vallarta shouting all day, louder and longer into the night Viva la Revolución! and Viva Mexico! A parade, of course, will begin in the morning, traditionally down the Malecón, coming from the north on Ignacio Vallarta. It’s a fun parade with the usual dressed up horses and riders, and groups of kids dressed like revolutionaries. Mariachi bands will be on hand to play songs about the heroes of the war, and many rounds of the rousing “Guadalajara” and “Mexico Lindo y Querido” will be heard, along with “Cielito Lindo.” It’s a good time to buy a Mexican flag; they will be for sale in all sizes.

    The Mexican Revolution was a war that lasted seven years and brought about lasting change. The Mexican constitution was created at the end of the war, and set term limits for politicians. The office of the president in Mexico, called a sexenio, is limited to one six year term and anyone who has been elected or held the post as caretaker is never allowed to serve again. Among other things set forth in the constitution were labor reform laws, limiting eight hour workdays, the abolishment of child labor, and equal pay. During the revolution many Mexicans fled with their families to the United States, in search of safety, security, food, and jobs. A lasting effect of what has been estimated to be approximately one million legal migrants, along with a number who were undocumented, led to the introduction of the border patrol.

  • Puerto Vallarta: What About Iguanas?

    Iguanas

    Puerto Vallarta is famous for iguanas. It was here that the famous film based on the Tennessee Williams book The Night of the Iguana was filmed. Some people think iguanas were more plentiful during those times but that’s not true. We’ve heard rumors of iguanas disappearing on the Isla Cuale, being eaten my feral cats and street dogs, but that’s not happening either. There actually may be more iguanas in Puerto Vallarta now, due to tourists and ex-pats feeding and protecting them. It’s a fact that construction chases them out of natural habitats but they scurry away once the excavators start and find homes elsewhere, usually very near. Puerto Vallarta is still a jungle. She simply has a city in her middle.

    If you see a wild iguana, don’t go after it with a leash, thinking you might have a new pet. They aren’t very domestic and they’ll poop all over your house. If you want to be friendly with them though, just be careful and aware of their needs. They’re not hard to feed; they love mangoes, pineapple and lettuce, but… spinach, Swiss chard and beet greens are hard for them to digest. These greens are excellent for humans so save them for yourselves. They contain oxalates that prevent absorption in the iguana gut by binding with calcium and other trace minerals. So if you’re inclined to share, be cautious to not make them sick.

    Though you’re be hard pressed to find it in Puerto Vallarta, Iguana meat is considered somewhat of a delicacy and in places like the Oaxaca coastal area, is common taco meat. Many Mexicans are convinced it will cure the common cold, even if it takes eating iguana for two weeks. They also believe it increases libido. We aren’t sure of either and will stick to chicken and fish, thanks very much.

    Though iguanas are herbivores, they also love insects and we have friends in Puerto Vallarta who’ve seen an iguana go after a mouse. Not pretty, but good to know. They have also destroyed many gardens in Puerto Vallarta, so be wary of how easy it is for them to get to such delights as hibiscus, nasturtiums, roses and orchids.

    There are plenty of opportunities to take your picture with an iguana in Puerto Vallarta and especially if you venture out to Yelapa, Quimixto and Las Animas. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handling this reptile, as you may very likely have exposed yourself to salmonella, a bacteria that is harmless to iguanas but can make us very ill.

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Climate Awareness

    The Dead Zone

    No, this blog isn’t about zombies. It actually covers a subject much more frightening than the walking dead of fiction. Though the Gulf of Mexico is on the opposite side of the country from Puerto Vallarta, what happens there does not stay there. The Dead Zone has a profound effect on all of us, no matter where we live in Mexico, or anywhere else in the world.
    This summer of 2019 NOAA scientists have a dismal forecast for the Gulf. The “dead zone” or hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico is one of low-to-zero oxygen, which kills marine life. It covers a land mass area about the size of the state of Massachusetts; approximately 7,829 square miles. The statistic derived from a yearly prediction founded on a U.S. Geological Survey of river flow and nutrient statistics.
    Due to the extremely high spring rainfall in the Mississippi watershed this year, river flow spilling into the Gulf of Mexico is at an all time high. The result is an overgrowth of algae, which dies, sinks, and decomposes, bringing an outcome of low oxygen levels and lack of nourishment for marine life. The root cause is, of course, the result of human activities, urbanization, and agriculture; and even though these events occur annually, these record highs are great cause for concern.
    Consider that the discharge into the tributary rivers has risen approximately 67% in less than four decades. With this flow, 156,000 metric tons of nitrate and 25,300 metric tons of phosphorus were dumped into the Gulf of Mexico in May 2018 alone. Pure poison to ocean flora and fauna.
    While the assumption of forecasters rests on typical coastal weather patterns, typical simply doesn’t exist anymore. Hence predictions of disastrous results are difficult to measure. Wind events, tropical storms and hurricanes are not easy to give long range calculations but one thing is for certain; these events are likely to occur with an increase in frequency. In the bigger picture, this phenomenon is only going to occur more often and The Dead Zone will grow exponentially.
    What can you do about it?
    The simplest solutions are working on your own habits for the sustainability of your environment, regardless of whether you live, in Puerto Vallarta, elsewhere in Mexico, or the United States. The flow into the Gulf of Mexico originates in thirty-one states and two Canadian Provinces. Wherever you live, you must realize that your actions are long term and far reaching. Teach climate awareness to whoever will listen and do your part.

  • Vallarta Showing Respect

    Showing Respect in Mexico: We are in the season of cheer and joy in Puerto Vallarta and there is much to celebrate but for some, death arrives to put a damper of the fiestas. As foreigners, what can we do to understand and be of any comfort?

    Our first year in Puerto Vallarta, we visited a family member of a friend at the hospital. Showing respect, as we would have back home, we brought a bouquet of flowers. They were quickly and discreetly whisked away and it was explained later that in Mexico, one doesn’t bring flowers to the hospital, as that could be a bad omen. Flowers are reserved for funerals and it should be noted, the more flowers surrounding a casket indicate the family’s high regard.

    Mexicans accept death as a part of life in a way that we from outside the borders are not accustomed to, yet it’s a healthier was to teach children, and not shield them from grief. Mexicans see grieving as a natural process of life. Family and friends spend time with the corpse before burial and it’s not unusual for them to keep a body in the home for up to 48 hours in a simple coffin or shroud. Communion with the departed is of great importance, as is choosing objects to be sent with them on their journey to the next realm. It would be normal to see an expensive bottle of tequila, for example, in the coffin, along with personal articles, such as a hair brush, dominoes, photos of those left behind, and other sentimental things.

    If you attend the velorio (wake), you have an opportunity to bring flowers. You can also bring food to share, as the family is likely to have members from outside Puerto Vallarta staying overnight and sometimes for several days. Cash is always a welcome gift, as funerals are expensive in any country. You don’t have to stay for long but in Puerto Vallarta, showing up at avelorio is the best sign of respect you can possibly pay. Candles are a big deal at velorios, so you might consider bringing them as gifts. They burn all night and are placed carefully at the specific corners of the coffin. Novenas are said for nine days following burial, to ensure a safe journey for the traveler.

    Day of the Dead is a time for the departed to return to visit and they are welcomed and enticed by their favorite foods and mementoes.

    It’s good to know the customs of any country one visits to avoid faux pas such as ours with the flowers.

  • Searching for Reason Puerto Vallarta Style

    We have been asked about the sculpture of the ladder on the Malecón. Two children climb to the top while a mother-like figure at the base seems to either plead with them or bid them farewell. Some people claim this is the artist Sergio Bustamante’s tribute to an air flight that went down between Puerto Vallarta and San Francisco. We are here to set the record straight.

    Sergio Bustamante, a Mexican artist from Sinaloa, who resides in Guadalajara, is known for his unusual figures of suns, moon, people and whimsical creatures, fashioned into jewelry and statues.

    Regarding this particular piece, Bustamante says “I like getting people to interact with it, with my art. It’s about freedom.” What it isn’t about is an airplane crash. Bustamante asserts that his inspiration came from the well known philosopher, Bertrand Russell, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, who said “When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favor of the belief which he finds in himself.” Hence, the beseeching faces of the three figures and their quest to the heavens.

    The sculpture is one of the largest and grandest on the Malecón, at a height of nearly two hundred feet (60 meters) and tourists are encouraged to photograph one another in their very own quests, but advised to be careful. It is located at Corona Street. Smaller versions of Searching for Reason, along with other Bustamante pieces are available at his website.

    There is, however, a sculpture dedicated to the victims of that fatal flight of Alaska 261 in 2000, though most tourists most likely would not realize this unless they went on a sculpture tour. Indeed, many locals are unaware of its significance. “The Friendship Fountain” (Dancing Dolphins Fountain) by James “Bud” Bottoms & Octavio González

    Gutiérrez can be found close to the Arches on the Malecón. It was dedicated in 1987, long before the airline tragedy. At Port Heuneme, Santa Barbara on the California coast, where debris from the accident washed to shore, is a sundial with a dolphin leaping from it, a similar piece of art and forever joined in spirit. Puerto Vallarta and Santa Barbara are sister cities. According to the artist Bud Bottoms, heuneme means resting place in Chumash, the local Indian tribe. The Indians believed that drowning humans become dolphins.

    Que es cómo es.

  • Puerto Vallarta – Mexican

    What is a Mexican?

    In Puerto Vallarta we don’t hear the term Hispanic as much as we do Latino. There is a justifiable reason for this. Hispanic is technically considered to be someone from a Spanish speaking country, which has been disputed by those who don’t consider themselves of Spanish ancestry. Mestizo once referred to a mix of Indigenous and primarily Spanish, but Africans and Europeans changed this over time.

    Large numbers of African slaves were brought in after the Spanish conquest, to work in agriculture, just as they did in the United States. Other Europeans soon arrived in the New World, as well and it wasn’t long before everyone was having babies with everyone else. Originally it was an honor to be called Mestizo and many Indigenous women were willing to have their children labeled as such, to protect them from slavery and other evils of the downtrodden.  Less than a hundred years after Cortéz disembarked on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the mestizaje (people of Spanish and Indian blood) numbered in the tens of thousands.  The result was the majority of Mestizos being raised in the indigenous communities, where there was no chance of being mistaken for elite. Interbreeding backfired and being Mestizo was considered low class, swinging the genetic label in the opposite direction.

    Hence there is a bitterness regarding Spaniards in Mexico and it remains to this day, though few are willing to go to war for the cause. In Puerto Vallarta, it’s not unusual to meet a light-skinned Mexican, with blue or green eyes, blond or red hair. They are proud to be referred to as Latino.

    To be a true Mexican, one must have been born in Mexico, regardless of ancestry. Since there is no actual Mexican genome, it’s impossible to track true pedigree, but genetic diversity is under serious research and development to make DNA tagging possible. The main objective of studies is to analyze complex diseases that science and medicine have often proven to be genetically based.

    If you have lived in Mexico for a certain period of time, meet all requirements, and pass the tests, you can certainly become and refer to yourself as a Mexican citizen. Mexico is much like the United States in that way. Mexico, Canada and the United States are all nothing more than melting pots of many heritages, all equal, yet different in the most individual unique ways.
