The municipality of Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, has recently approved the introduction of electric scooter rentals, a pilot project that will start on December 2, 2019, when 250 scooters will appear for rent on the streets of Zapopan. You know something like this will soon be available in Puerto Vallarta, if it’s successful in Zapopan. GDL is also looking at joining the program. Electric scooter and bike rentals are very popular north of the border and it will be a very welcome enterprise in Puerto Vallarta.
There are four companies involved in Zapopan; Bird, Frog, Grin and Movo. The charge to unlock a scooter will be $10 – 15 pesos (50-75₵ USD), with $2-3 pesos (10-15₵ USD) per minute to ride. Scooter rental will require a phone app, and normal traffic regulations will be expected to be followed. Scooters will be limited to bike lanes or the right lane of traffic. They will not be allowed on sidewalks, and must park in specified parking zones or vehicle spaces.
Sharing is the way of the future for Puerto Vallarta. It’s working well in other parts of the world and we aren’t far behind. There are great reasons to use scooters for transportation and we have seen them growing in popularity in Puerto Vallarta over the past decade. Scooters are not like bikes in many ways. Their wheels are smaller, which makes for hopping off in an emergency stop, a lot easier. You also don’t travel as fast on a scooter, compared to a bicycle.
Parking. Parking. Parking. It can be one of the most frustrating experiences in Puerto Vallarta, but for short distance trips, when you aren’t obliged to carry anything other than maybe a backpack, you can park in the smallest of spaces. Scooters simply don’t take up much room and though you can’t park them on a sidewalk, there are lots of little nooks and crannies in Puerto Vallarta.
Fuel efficiency is certainly a primary reason. If you know anything about fossil fuels, you’ll understand immediately how efficient at scooter will be in Puerto Vallarta. Consider how much you and a bag might weigh (probably a combined measure of about 200 pounds/90 kilos) and you’re normally traveling in a 3,000 pound/1360 kilo steel machine that fills our environment with carbon dioxide in shocking volumes. Your scooter will weigh approximately 20 pounds/9 kilos and run on electricity.
We’re looking forward to the eventuality of rental scooters in Puerto Vallarta and it can’t happen soon enough, as far as we’re concerned. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Please feel free to come in some of those old crazy Disco clothes that may be still hanging in your closet, just dying to get on to the dance floor one more time!
Here is a very brief description of what each of these amazing organizations do for our community:
Asilo San Juan Diego is a Senior Living Center located at the foothill of the Sierra Madre mountains. It’s mission is to contribute to improving the quality of life for the elderly, offering solutions that support their process of personal and emotional development, and generate in the community a culture of respect, attention, and support through programs that develop their potential. This in turn, allows self-sustainability of the institution and satisfaction for the people who are linked to it. The Covarrubias family has taken on this great responsibility by themselves in the hopes of making a difference in many senior lives. http://asilosanjuandiego.com.mx
SETAC is a local medical clinic serving the Puerto Vallarta and Nayarit with medication, counseling and treatments. They are an organization where every employee, client and donor is welcomed as part of their team. Together, they are committed to reducing HIV in Jalisco’s coastal area and Banderas Bay. SETAC participates in activities with positive social impact, fostering solidarity, fraternity and togetherness in service with equality and respect for everyone. They do distribution of prevention items such as condoms, brochures, workshops and counseling. They also do early detection of STD’s through quick testing, and use existing public or private medical services. They offer these services free of charge whenever possible and exist solely on donations and grants. Last year SETAC was able to save 31 babies from being infected with HIV and have assisted countless people in the community through their caring service. http://www.setac.com.mx/en

The bathroom is one of the most crucial areas of the house. It is where you can refresh yourself before or after work. 10 designers made use of their brilliant ideas to come up with simple but eye catching Wash Basin designs.
This is definitely part of ‘Inspired Living’… and we hope that such beautiful design elements are introduced here soon.
Wash Basins are made from different materials like : stainless steel, enamel over steel or cast iron, ceramic, marble, plastic, soapstone, concrete, terrazzo, wood, stone, copper, glass or granite. Too many right? Name it, and the manufacturers would sure be able to create one just for you. That is how they always come forth and make new designs – for client’s request or maybe due to the demand at hand. Every household would like to have their furniture or fixtures for that matter to be one of a kind and special. Specially-made wash basins usually cost a fortune, that is why users just choose whatever are at the shops. But of course that does mean unique and good looking wash basins that are affordable is not available for our dream bathrooms right?
So, speaking of bathrooms, whenever it is being discussed, it is usually the tub or the shower that comes to mind. But hey, have you imagined how your wash basin would look like? What would be the color, the shape, the material, and who may be even the designer? Have you ever thought that wash basins actually come in a variety of looks that would really entice us? Yes, they do. In fact, for today’s read, we will be showcasing a series of designs for you to take a look at and see which one you’d want to get for your dream bathroom. Below are pictures for you to choose from. Let see them one by one.
Lavatory Abisko

Abisko became popular when Eumar and WeThink collaborated in April 2012 to create a new bathroom collection. This rare beauty sure looks regal with its red tilework on the background.
Lavatory Cow
Image: Sandro Meneghello and Marco Paolelli
This wash basin is the stylistic evolution of the health cow. The designers thought of a design with soft corners so as the create a feel of flirtatiousness and playfulness all at the same time.
Lavatory Fusion
Image: Wet by Wet
Fusion II is one of the most colorful wash basins you can see in the market. This design also is powered with LED lights.
Lavatory Loft

A unique washbasin with curves acquiring a shape that would add a soft touch to your bathrooms.
Lavatory Pisyuar

This wash basin is a product created by Evgeniy Guliy for the Festival of Product Design (Vodoparad 2008). This colorful set will be great for people who has restaurants or food establishments or for anyone who likes colorful items for their homes.
Lavatory Kalla

The Kalla wash basin is made of a single block of Cristalplant and evolved like a wave accompanying us to the bathtubs.
Lavatory Ammonite

The Ammonite is shaped as a fossilised ammonite made in concrete. This unique wash basin come in gret, sand, red and even ochre.
Lavatory Cup Appoggio
Image: Meneghello Paolelli Associati
This cup like wash basin was created as tribute to a regular coffee cup with its handle serving as a towel holder.
Lavatory Wire
Image: Meneghello Paolelli Associati
This design is basically a classic wash basin, although the materials were sort of minimized with intertwining the body of the wash basin to give it elegance and a unique touch which also makes the material lighter than normal.
Lavatory Stalactite
Image: Olga Krysukova
Stalactites are popular for people who are fond of visiting caves, but for those who are not – here is one heck of a wash basin that resembles a stalactite.
The unique designs that we have presented today surely charmed us with how they would possibly go with our very own bathrooms. They look all modern, out of this world maybe, but all in all, the wash basin designs that were presented in this article impressed us and inspired us to do away with mainstream wash basin designs that are available in our local home depots.

As we hang on one another’s shoulders this year in Puerto Vallarta, bang our champagne mugs together, and sing Auld Lang Syne, let’s get ready for a fresh and friendly year.
Sadly this past year has had a lot of people at odds with one another and we’d like to see everyone, back in the homelands, and here in our own adopted territory, sharing good times and enjoying the fabulous life we are so lucky to have here in Puerto Vallarta.
Many of us have found Facebook to be a forum for voicing complaints. There are pages devoted to bellyaching and provocation. We readily admit we find ourselves sucked in to these rants, and more often than not, completely amused. However it might be more productive to stick to those alliances who cheerily share information of upcoming events, new changes in simple government policies that affect expats, alerts at the airport, new products at Costco and other stores, weather conditions and local entertainment.
If one has an issue with a proprietor; hotel or restaurant owner; local charity, for example, it will serve us all better to address the situation with that merchant rather than splash it all over social media, and has a greater likelihood of having a resolution, rather than hard feelings and even worse, effects on a business that is only doing the same as anyone else in town: trying to make a living and get ahead.
In the following New Year, I encourage my readers to engage in productive debate and not try solving the problems of Mexico and Puerto Vallarta; allowing the local government to do their job. If you feel you do have a legitimate complaint, there are proper channels. Find out what they are and follow through with diplomacy. A smile and kind words get you a long way here in Puerto Vallarta.

In general we had a spectacular year in 2017. We are seeing Canadian and Mexican national Buyers are back and investing in real property again, even with the current exchange rates to the US Dollar. The year ended with an exchange rate at 19.7 pesos to the US Dollar but in late January we are looking at 18.5 pesos to the US Dollar. So some Buyers that had been holding back on buying their dream home are jumping back into the market and investing in some of the beautiful options ate are out there now.
We see 2018 as a very healthy and robust season looking forward, with some beautiful new product available for almost everyone.

Our theme this year will be humanity and diversity among people, highlighting important values such as equality, compassion, love and inclusion. The slogan we chose for the event will be ¨Together we can do great things.¨ As a reference we took the film of the Greatest Showman because it defends the diversity and dignity of each person, regardless of gender, gender or preference. I think the idea for the event is to reflect both the theme and the company; which values the collaboration and connectivity between people.
Helping Build Our Communities – Habitat For Humanity
Timothy Real Estate Group is proud to announce the theme for the 2018 Vallarta Real Estate Fair, Habitat For Humanity Mexico.
Since 1989 Habitat for Humanity Mexico has been turning the dream of home ownership into reality for low-income families thanks to donations and charity.
For those who have not yet heard of Habitat For Humanity, this non-profit organization offers training and technical services to low-income families. Through that training, families are then able to build their own home and also help to build homes for fellow community members. Habitat for Humanity also promotes innovative and affordable financing options for families through no-interest loans
In Mexico the average low-income family without financial support will take 20 years to build their home. With Habitat for Humanity, 17 volunteers can build one house for one low-income family between 6 and 12 months. That house will cost an average of $11,700 USD. All of those donations and time comes from the support of community members and volunteers and has already helped 61,000 families across 24 states in Mexico.
What can you do to help? Volunteer. If you would like to personally get involved, Habitat for Humanity Mexico is always looking for helping hands to construct homes for families. Visit www.habitatmexico.org/socio-habitat to sign up to volunteer today. Don’t have the time to volunteer, that’s ok, you can donate to this worthy cause at www.habitatmexico.org/reconstruyamosmexico.
With Habitat for Humanity and your support, we can improve the quality of life for community members everywhere, and be sure to follow Habitat For Humanity Mexico on social media to see the projects they are working on now. @HabitatMexico.
