| PLAYA BOCA NEGRA |
Boca Negra beach is a long stretch of sand by the airport that leads to the white mangroves. During the week, it´s usually deserted and a perfect place for a long walk, with or without dogs. The beach resembles a California beach, as the sand isn´t powdery white and the water isn´t clear. And because the water isn´t transparent and because there is a nearby lagoon filled with crocodiles, I don´t do a lot of swimming there.
To arrive at Boca Negra, one can turn west at Plaza Marina, passing the wonderful long mosaic wall, the golf course and then one is there.

Walking our dogs on the isla Cuale, I stopped to talk with costumed and painter dancers who were on their way to the malecón to perform. They were with two Xolos, also painted and whom they said would be bred when they were mature.
Native to México, the Xoloitzcuintle or Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Mexican Hairless Dog, is a breed that has existed for 3,000 years. It is listed as an endangered species. The Xolo was considered an earthly form of the god Xolotl, who was believed to accompany souls to their final resting place. A practice of the Aztecs was to sacrifice Xolos and be buried with them. The breed was also raised in herds like cattle by indigenous people in Mexico and sold in the markets as food which would not only be an excellent source of protein, but would also provide curative powers over physical problems. When the Europeans brought their dogs to the New World, the Xolo breed was diluted, but the hairless gene was powerful enough to enable the continuation of the breed. Although one can see several Xolos in and around Vallarta (sadly, there are several in the private zoo here), the breed remains a rare one.

CATS: The dedicated people who feed and also collect kittens and cats on the isla Cuale to have them spayed and neutered and then fostered or found homes for, report many less cats now on the island. This information comes in the same week that the Cultural Center held a meeting where one of their bullet points re plans for the isla was the "removal of the plague of cats from the island."
