  • Vallarta: It’s Time You Learn More About Litibu

    Litibú

    At exactly the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands, the curious traveler will find the settlement of Litibú, north of Puerto Vallarta. After having lived in Puerto Vallarta for several years, we’d never heard of Litibú until one day in 2003, a realtor friend gushed about the beauty and tranquility of this small and ever expanding community. Nestled on the peninsula between Sayulita and Punta de Mita, Litibú is at the southern end of the recently recognized Riviera Nayarit, which covers 160 KM (100 miles) from Punta de Mita to San Blas. With easy access from the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Litibú is a very attractive destination. Star sightings are not unusual in the area, since celebrities have discovered the privacy of Litibú, so it’s quite possible that you could find yourself having breakfast next to the likes of Sandra Bullock or Kim Kardashian, most likely without an entourage but maybe with children in tow.

    Litibú is simply the name of the bay, the meaning of which comes from the local Huichol Indians song of the birds. Needless to say, the area is wonderful for birdwatchers with over 300 species found along this portion of coastline. You’ll see everything from huge frigates and brown pelicans to tiny hummingbirds. There are common crows, gulls and vultures, as well as the grackle, known for amazing mimicry.

    When we originally ventured from Puerto Vallarta to Litibú, over a decade ago, much of the development was hidden from view. Now there are sweeping estates and charming bungalows, combined with local humble homes, some that have been there for many years. The territory is truly a photographer’s dream with flora, fauna and sweeping views. Don’t forget the tripod.

    With access to Punta de Mita to the south and Sayulita to the north, you can drive up a well maintained road for surfing lessons, taco stands, fine dining, beach cafés, live music, and all the wonderful culture that Mexico has to offer. We never fail to drop into the Litibú Grill, the pride of Litibú. The food is excellent and the view is one of the best outside of Puerto Vallarta. A little beachcombing and lunch will tie up a perfect trip for day-trippers.

    Whether you’re looking to star gaze or bird watch, give yourself a complete day or just wander north of Puerto Vallarta for an afternoon trek, go see Litibú. Signage makes it easy from either Sayulita or Punt de Mita.

  • Southwest Airlines Begins Service from Houston to Puerto Vallarta

    Travellers to Puerto Vallarta from Texas and the Midwest and Southwest states have had limited airline options ….. mostly expensive.

    A new player is entering the market from this region – Southwest Airlines is beginning service to Puerto Vallarta from Houston on October 15. They will fly from their Houston hub which is Hobby Airport. Hobby is smaller and more manageable than the main Houston airport, George Bush International. Plus connections on Southwest Airlines to about 40 US cities.

    Check out schedules at www.Southwest.com. Southwest is famous for low fares so this will bring some much-needed competition to the market.

  • How’s The Heat In Puerto Vallarta?

    It’s Too Darn Hot!

    It’s too darn hot It’s too darn hot I’d like to sup with my baby tonight Refill the cup with my baby tonight But I ain’t up to my baby tonight ‘Cause it’s too darn hot …. Ella Fitzgerald

    It does get hot in Puerto Vallarta in the summertime. From May to October, the rains come down; creating humidity that rises when the sun shines intensely. Locals and residents love it since it’s much less crowded. Any tourist who can deal with the heat will also find it’s a great time to visit Puerto Vallarta.

    When we first came to Puerto Vallarta, there were few places with air conditioning including ours. Houses, restaurants and many other businesses had no windows and usually screens only in bedrooms. Of course, we’ve become spoiled like everyone else. There are other methods besides air conditioning to keep cool. Fans are a primary fixture in all rooms and on the patio. We have seen them nailed to trees with cords wrapped around trunks. Very al fresco. We use box fans in windows; they push the hot air out and create a good breeze and it saves on the electric bill, instead of using the air conditioning.

    Cotton sheets are recommended since cotton takes in body heat; the higher the thread count, the better results. Cotton pajamas or one’s birthday suit are a great idea. Some find sleeping in a hammock refreshing, with air circulating all around. We have been known to keep pillow cases and top sheets in the freezer compartment and slipping them on the bed at the last minute.

    Rub pulse points with ice cubes (wrists, neck, elbows, groin, ankles, and behind the knees). Icy cold drinks are advised but avoid alcohol; it raises internal temperatures and doesn’t really aid sleeping, contrary to popular belief. Drink LOTS of water; hydration is the best remedy. We see a lot of Pedialyte in the pharmacies in Puerto Vallarta; it’s not just for babies. Replacing electrolytes does wonders for one’s energy. Fresh coconuts, available everywhere, do the best job of replacing body fluid. Suck the water out with a straw for one of the healthiest treats on earth.

    We’ve been known to take several showers in a day. Some prefer to hop in and out without actual bathing but we like to wash away the sweat so we go through a lot of soap in the summer months. Freshness helps coolness in many ways.

    A cool, damp cloth around the neck and local markets even sell such things in stylish colors and fabrics. Place these in the refrigerator and have more than one ready for a quick cool down.

    Animal studies have not shown teratogenic effects, but caution is still warranted. Women of childbearing age taking Ambien from https://rosarydental.com/ambien-online/ should discontinue the medication if pregnancy is planned or suspected, weighing the potential benefits against the risks.

  • Vallarta, Whats in Lo de Marcos?

    Hidden beauties can be found along Highway 200 on the way to or from Puerto Vallarta. One of these gems is Lo de Marcos, a small Mexican beach town that has not been fully discovered. There are no looming hotels, large boat marinas, beeping taxis or traffic jams. Quiet and relaxing are the reviews we have received regarding Lo de Marcos.

    With an abundance of RV parks with names like Pretty Sunset, Lo de Marcos is a great place to find simplicity, peacefulness and a lack of grandeur. About an hour north of the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Lo de Marcos is easily accessible by buses that board along the highway and are well marked.

    Fondly referred to as the French Quarter, due to the abundance of French Canadians who live there, Lo de Marcos is winter home to Canadians, North Americans and plenty of Europeans, as well.

    Our first introduction to inhabitants of this unique Mexican town was at a weekly meeting, held in Puerto Vallarta on weeknights. They weren’t bothered in the least by driving all the way into town (as they stated) for the evening. It was their habit to have dinner and then head back up the highway.

    Given that, we find Saturdays a good time to journey up the coast for a day visit to the Lo de Marcos tianguis, the market held once a week in the zocalo (main square). Offerings include produce and a food court, all organic and beautiful arts and crafts with emphasis on everything being natural or handmade. We wouldn’t miss the chance stroll to the pristine beach, Playa Lo de Marcos, after our shopping is done. We love to watch the surfers before we pass on to El Atracadero, the neighborhood dock where locals fish for dinner. A short distance south of the pier you will find the piscines, tide pools where you can observe sea life in the form of tiny fish and creatures of the ocean.

    An added bonus is a marvelous golf course only fifteen minutes up the road from Lo de Marcos at Campo de Esuenos (Field of Dreams). With a green fee of approximately

    $15, it includes a new par 4 and 5 with an island green. Visitors will love the clubhouse with excellent food and occasional entertainment with a small dance floor.

    Horse trips are also available at Lo de Marcos and one only needs to inquire at one of the many palapas on the beach to be directed to a local vaquero who will happily lead tours into the jungle and surrounding areas. Buen viaje!

    Que es cómo es.

  • Puerto Vallarta’s Zocalo

    The local zocalo, (from Spanish zócalo socle and from Italian zoccolo) is the main square in any Mexican town, Puerto Vallarta being no exception, and is often the center of much local activity. At “El Jardin Principal”(The Main Garden) as the local plaza is called, on any given evening, decades seem to melt away while gentlemen have their shoes shined, grandmothers feed pigeons, while children run around flapping make-believe wings, and couples dance to music from the kiosko (gazebo). Sundays are reserved for the municipal band to entertain locals and tourists alike. An evening walk, after a late day Mass is the highlight of many families, who stop for treats such as fresh fried churros, ice cream, cotton candy, cheesy corn and other delights in the zocalo and along the Malecón.

    On the eve of Dia de Independencia (Independence Day/September 16) this popular plaza will be packed with revelers, waiting for the mayor to come out on the balustrade and give a long-winded, usually repetitive speech, ending with a crowd arousing Viva Mexico! Good times for all involved, with more than the usual abundance of vendors selling dinners, desserts, snacks, trinkets and memorabilia. The night ends with an amazing fireworks display; the Malecón will be full of visitors until the wee hours of the morning and there won’t be much sleep for anyone in the general area.

    The most famous zocalo is, of course, in Mexico City, rich with history, tragedy and triumph. Though the zocalo in Puerto Vallarta is quite small in comparison, it is also a well known landmark, meeting place and gathering of special events. It is the heart of all grand festivals like the Christmas Guadalupana (the processions to the cathedral, which take place the first 12 days of December); the Sidewalk Art Competition in November; major holidays such as the aforementioned Independence Day and Revolution Day, Children’s Day, and New Year’s Eve and many other celebrations.

    In an effort to maintain the appeal and originality of the downtown village, neon signs are not permitted, the streets are to remain in the old cobblestone style and city regulations make an effort to regulate architecture and other details. Nothing symbolizes tradition quite as well as the La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the Church of our Lady of Guadalupe. With her gorgeous bell tower and luxurious interior, the street and steps to the east lead directly through the front door and to the altar.

    The Municipal Building and Tourist Office are also found on the north side of the zocalo and warmly welcome visitors with any inquiries about the city and surrounding area.

  • Speaking Spanish In Puerto Vallarta

    Don’t Be Embarrassed

    While ordering meals and drinks, getting around town and shopping for groceries, you can probably get by speaking English in Puerto Vallarta, yet Mexicans love when you try to speak Spanish. They consider it respectful and it makes it seem like you really want to be here. It’s good to know a few words however the best efforts can sometimes get one in trouble, or in some cases, cause an uncomfortable situation. One of the most commonly misunderstood words in the Spanish language is embarazada. Though it sounds like the English word for embarrass or embarrassed, it actually means pregnant! Estoy embarazada means I am pregnant, not I am embarrassed and when spoken by a male can be even more awkward. No worries however, since Mexicans have a great sense of humor, will laugh with people rather than at them… and you have opened the opportunity for a valuable language lesson. People in Puerto Vallarta love to share their language with foreigners and you will find many language schools for those willing  to communicate in the area they’ve decided to visit… or live. Lessons are intensive or as brief as eager students are willing to endeavor.

    Back in the Mad Men days, some brilliant Don-Draper-type came up with an ad campaign clever enough to make any Adman very proud…all but for the exception it was potentially disastrous for the company represented, once it was translated from its native English. It took Parker Pen months to pull the ads from the Mexican market. While advertising their product in Mexico, Parker Pen made the same claim they did in their English worded ads: “Won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” Translated that was “No te embarazará chorreándose en tu bolsillo” which means “Won’t leak in your pocket and impregnate you.”

    We have found it best to consult our friends in Puerto Vallarta when we have a question about language. We find that relying to travel sites is not always the best idea for advice when it comes to matters that may just get a little too personal.

  • Christmas Traditions in Puerto Vallarta

    There is nothing quite as Mexican as a ritual and when it comes to such, Puerto Vallarta celebrates with joy and earnest. What better time to incorporate Pre-Hispanic customs than the birth of Christ, so observed by the Catholic Church.

    Offerings of the gods, practiced long before the arrival and conquering of the Spaniards, over time have been adapted and modified to align with Vatican tradition. The posadas were created by the church in an effort to evangelize those whom they had invaded and it was easy to persuade a ritual-rich civilization with the stories of Jesus and Mary, seeking a place for the birth of the Christ child.

    Though from region to region there are variations in some of the dishes, the main menu maintains a strong similarity throughout Mexico. Puerto Vallarta is very involved in Christmas celebrations for the entire month of December and food is at its very heart.

    With a wealth of tropical fruits, everything from desserts to the famous ponche (punch) is rich in quality and good health. Along with peanuts, full of protein, snacking is not about junk food. Children get some of their best vitamins this time of year.

    There is, however, a lot of sugar, as well. Cane sugar, which in Mexico, is in its purest form, literally drips from much of the Christmas fare. A drink served with a spoon, the traditional punch is so sweet, it’s almost painful to the mouth but there is not stopping us from imbibing. Tejocotes, sugar cane, peanuts and mandarins seem to fall out of the sky this time of year.

    Tamales are the primary food served all the way through December, into January, when the arrival of the Three Kings is celebrated on Epiphany, the sixth day of the month. The famous Roscón de Reyes or Rosca de Reyes (King’s Ring) is shared on this day, complete with figurines of the baby baked inside. Tamales show up again on February 2, on Dia de la Candelaria or Candlemas, which is when the Baby Jesus was presented at the temple. This is a very important day in many Mexican families, when their candles are brought to the church to be blessed. The nativity figure of the Christ child is also blessed on this day and it’s all celebrated with a feast. Whoever bit into the plastic baby Jesus on January 6 is in charge of making and serving the tamales. Wrapped in corn husks and kept in steamers until serving time, they are composed of everything from meat and fish to vegetables and fruit, especially pineapple. These meals, as most traditional Mexican food, do not require utensils but are all considered “finger foods.”

  • Puerto Vallarta: Wash up!

    Wash Your Hands

    We can’t be reminded enough of this simple deterrent to the flu and other illnesses, which assault Puerto Vallarta at the same rate as the remainder of the world outside paradise. The initial recommendation is to get an annual flu shot. The more people get vaccinated, the more are protected and create herd immunity. This year, winter 2017 -2018, it is suggested to not use the nasal spray application (live attenuated influenza vaccine or LAIV), which is often used for children. Injectable shots are more effective, painless, and available in Puerto Vallarta. There are different strains for age, pregnant women and adults. Standard flu shots are the most common; high-dose for older people and those made with adjuvant, also for older people. Since there are constantly changing viruses, annual shots are highly advised. This year we are protected from three to four circulating flues on this continent, depending on whether we have received the quadrivalent or trivalent.

    For those planning to travel to or from Puerto Vallarta, consider it takes approximately two weeks for the antibodies to do their job, so plan accordingly. Even though October is the primary month to get vaccinated against the flu, it will be beneficial to protect yourself all through the season. It’s never too late. Flu season can last as late as May. There are never super accurate statistics on flu due to the fact that only the sickest are hospitalized or see a doctor, whereas most of us simply slog through it until we feel better. According to the CDC, flu vaccinations are not perfect but they are the best tool for protection against illness. The only complete prevention is living in a bubble and they usually don’t do so well at the beach.

    Preventative measures include washing your hands, keeping your hands away from your face and staying away from people who are ill.

    If you get sick, stay home; don’t expose others. Cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze, using disposable tissue. Pre and probiotics are highly recommended on a daily basis to shore up the immune system; drinking a lot of water is essential. Your body weight divided by two is the suggested minimum amount of ounces. Keeping yourself hydrated is the best advice under any circumstance and when in elevated temperatures, make sure you have a vessel with you at all times. No, gin and beer don’t count.

    If you are traveling, consult with your insurance carrier to make sure you will be covered in Puerto Vallarta. It is amazing how many people we meet who are here on extended stays and haven’t thought of this. Hospitals and doctors in Puerto Vallarta are certainly very reasonable compared to their counterparts to the north but any serious illness will set you back, regardless, especially if you must be hospitalized.

  • Vallarta: Boats in Our Harbor

    Boats in Our Harbor

    The cruise ship marina often has visitors. Sometimes yachts are huge, with heliports and large tenders to transport passengers from the boat to shore, or another vessel. Such luminaries as Bill Gates, David Geffen, Carlos Slim and other well-known seafarers have moored here in Puerto Vallarta, and managed to create mystery and curiosity, initiating the wagging of resident tongues.

    When ships of foreign navies dock, their homelands are announced by the flag that flies off their bow and their presence can often seem ominous but it’s reassuring to know that any ship in the port of Puerto Vallarta has arrived with friendly intentions. As a matter of fact, these are intentional visits, meant to build on already well established good relationships. The Mexican Navy welcomes those with focus on exchanging professional goals. Regardless of comments and attitudes coming from the current administration in Washington DC, the Mexican and USA militaries, by virtue of being neighbors, have had an ongoing sociable interaction for decades.

    Currently the amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego is visiting Puerto Vallarta and the crew will be working within the community on cooperative projects. This ship has recently returned from a deployment in the Indo-Pacific, Mediterranean, Horn of Africa and Middle East, where they spent seven months successfully performing maneuvers and activities. The USS San Diego is from the US 3rd Fleet and happens to be the fourth US Navy vessel to be named after the California city and saint, being the only ship harbored in her signature city in the United States. This ship’s mission is to transport and deploy combat and support elements from the Marine Expeditionary Units and Brigades. She can carry up to 800 Marines and able to act as a debarkation for air cushion and conventional landing craft. Some have mentioned she is odd looking but her shape and design define her purpose. The basic motivation is to promote stability throughout the Pacific area of operations, to advance peace and security.

    These US sailors will be checking out neighborhoods of our beautiful Puerto Vallarta and we’ll be opening our arms to them, considering their assistance to the community during their stay. Make sure to say hello, tip your hat and let them know they are appreciated. They won’t always be in uniform but US Military aren’t too difficult to indentify. These men and women are learning about many cultures and ours will be one they shall remember with warmth and kindness.
