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 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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

The Pier and Puerto Vallarta: Periodically we see photos and old posts of the pier that was replaced by the current modern and highly designed wharf where boats continue to come and go, as they did in more humble times. Some say they like the old pier better but we find those people are similarly unhappy with other changes in Puerto Vallarta.
The day of the inauguration of the new pier, six years ago this month, was one of pride and celebration. We planted ourselves on the beach adjacent to the pier early in the day. We remained there until late at night, when an elegant fireworks show, as is the custom in Puerto Vallarta, completed a day of high level festivity, comprised of a variety of live music, dancing, parasailers, food and drink, and sacred Aztec blessings.
The old pier was one long concrete structure that ran straight out into the ocean, expanded at the end to hold a large amount of fishermen, sightseers and strolling lovers. We dangled our legs over the edge on late nights and listened to the revelry in the distance, combined with the tide crashing against the shore, drowning out all but the most insistent noise.
Boys in baggy shorts would barrel off the side of the old pier, avoiding water taxis picking up travelers to Yelapa and other seaside destinations. Lines that tempted fish hung in the water and buckets for catches sat on the edge. Lovers stole kisses under the moonlight. All these things still occur, including the boats coming and going to pick up passengers, luggage, refrigerators, chainsaws, generators and other supplies for the small villages south of us. Changes is constant.
The new pier is a showcase, and has become an icon of Puerto Vallarta. It is readily recognized by those familiar with the city and has been featured on travel magazine covers. There are times the lights go out around Puerto Vallarta and the pier suffers the same outages; yet it’s an amazingly bright beacon when the storms pass.
For those who grouse about missing the old pier, we get it. We loved the old Vallarta, too. We have learned, however, to live with the progress and appreciate the positive change. Art and education have attracted many newcomers; the reasons to move to Puerto Vallarta are endless. We look forward in the New Year and closing of a decade for more transformations, like the mosaics that have beautified our fair city by the sea. Remember the old and embrace the new.

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.

Gringos
Newcomers to Puerto Vallarta are often surprised by how freely the label gringo is tossed around. They liken it to other labels that are seen to be derogatory and in some cases, racist. The word gringo long ago lost its power to insult, and is now how many foreigners have come to describe themselves. Perhaps it’s like the tag queer, which at one time was hurled to offend. Gay people simply owned the word, along with any other branding that existed to identify them and set them apart.
Words are simply words; it’s actions that do harm. Gringos are embraced in Puerto Vallarta and have been catered to for decades, resulting in Puerto Vallarta being one of the primary destinations south of the border.
There’s a border crossing in Lukeville, Arizona, known as Gringo Pass, with a motel and other businesses so denoted, and it has never offended in all the years of its existence. People who drive to Mexico are aware of the friendliness and acceptance they receive from Mexicans and nothing tells it like a gateway named especially for them.
There’s more than one story about how the name gringo came about and what it means. Legend has been passed down over time of US soldiers marching through the dry Sonora Desert, trying to convince themselves they weren’t being sapped of every drop of moisture in their bodies. They were said to have trundled along, singing “green grow the rushes, oh!” from the old English ballad. Hearing this, Mexicans shortened the green grow to gringo. That said, the truth of the matter is probably completely different and more likely comes from an old Spanish word gringo, which translates to gibberish and indicates someone who cannot speak the language well, nor be understood.
In the early 1970’s a book, I Like You, Gringo – But! was a best seller on both sides of the border. The author, Mario (Mike) De La Fuente, the son of a Mexican politician, was raised in the US. He was well known for a number of things before he wrote a book defusing not only the wordgringo, but the implication. De La Fuente was a college football star in Texas, as well as being recognized as a talented baseball player in Mexico. His life was spent on both sides of the international border. He was a successful businessman in Nogales, Arizona, a sportscaster, and an early promoter of the medicinal attributes of marijuana. His motto, which he expounds upon in his book (a fun read, btw), was “Work like a gringo, play like a Mexican.”
