UNDER A BIG TENT

The ninth annual 15-day Artisan Expo opened on Febrary 3rd and closes at the end of the day on Monday, February 20th.  It took place under a huge white tent complete with blue carpeting on a large dirt field just south of where the cruise ships dock.  The aromas of cheeses from Oaxaca mingled with the the pleasant aromas of straw baskets, leather shoes, belts and bags and the sweet fragrances of copal and sandalwood incense.  Vendors from Oaxaca, Chiapas, Michoacan, Peru, Argentina and Panama quietly sell their appealing wares - bedspreads, rugs, mole, sweets, spices, soaps, bee products, silver filagree earrings accented with coral, turquoise or pearls, embroidered blouses and dresses, ceramics, wood toys....







My most thrilling sight this week was of two whales as I walked our dogs on the malecón. In the near distance, I saw their curved,  dark shapes, one very large and the other much smaller.  I stopped and watched the "spout" of the warm exhale of their enormous breath.  And then, to my surprise and delight, the large humpback whale propelled its powerful body into the air in a beautiful breach, followed by a frothy white splash back into the rippling bay.
It always looks like an exalted leap for joy to me, but it may be something else - a shaking off of parasites, a way to communicate or a way to get a better look at what is above the water line.  There is the beauty of this connection to all living things.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!  Benefit concert for the Biblioteca los Mangos on Thursday, March 9th at 7:30 PM - Sheraton Bouganvillas Resort Hotel.  Operatic arias and ballads will sung by soprano Yael del Carmen Jimenez Valdez, who has performed in Belgium, Spain, Austria, Italy and Mexico.  (I´ve been to two of her performances here and she is wonderful).  Also performing - tenor Jose María Aguirre Duriel and pianist Hector Acosta, both of whom have performed at many musical festivals.
CANTANTE YAEL DEL CARMEN JIMENEZ VALDEZ - CONCIERTO EL 9 DE MARZO

Tickets are 380 pesos each in advance and can be purchased at the library or at Candace Shaw Jewelry on B. Badillo.  Tickets at the door are 450 pesos each.

LAS JUNTAS - PEACEAnimals clinics have been to this busy colonia about 35 minutes northeast of Vallarta several times.  This may have something to do with the unusual low number of sterilizations at this week´s clinic.

STERILIZATIONS- LAS JUNTAS - February 15-18

Female Dogs - 29 ; Male dogs -13;   Female cats - 18;  Male cats -  9  TOTAL:  69

PLUS pregnancies terminated for 1 dog with 8 fetuses; 3 cats with 4 fetuses each: 1 cat with 3 fetuses

EDUCATION PROGRAM:  Leslie Caratachea presented to 110 primary students at Juana de Asbaje school in colonia las Juntas on Tuesday, February 14th.

Unfamiliar with the name, what I found on Google was fascinating.   She was born as Juana Inés de Asbaje in 1651 in Mexico, New Spain.  Brilliant and self-taught entered a convent in 1669 in order to continue her studies and writing and became known as Juana de la Cruz.   The first feminist poet of the Americas and probably in the world, de la Cruz was a scholar, philosopher and poet of the baroque school.and the first feminist poet of the Americas and probably the world.   She is authoress of 26 plays, 13 essays and 100 poems, little of which survives. Because of de la Cruz´s defiance of the church in defense of a woman´s right to education, her extensive library of over 4,00 volumes and her musical instruments were either confiscated by the Church or sold by her.  There is no historical agreement on how almost everything vanished.
JUANA DE LA CRUZ BY MIGUEL CABRERA
Condemned for her "waywardness" and after time spent with an inquisitor of the Church, she stopped writing in 1693.   Juana de la Cruz died of the plague in 1695 while administering to the sick.  Her life and works have inspired plays, poetry, opera, literary fiction and film.   What survives of her work, which includes her poetic masterpiece, "The Dream," can be ordered on Amazon.  For more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juana_In%C3%A9s_de_la_Cruz

COLORING BOOKS - Lucy Muñiz, board member, sells charming greeting cards of Ada Colorina´s art work at Lucy´s great shop, Lucy´s CuCu Cabaña on Basilio Badillo.

The colorful, animal-themed cards are for sale for 60 pesos each. Half the money goes to Ada and the other half Lucy is using to pay for 1,500 educational petcare coloring books designed by Paul Mcbromme,  the graphic artist at Guacamole, Inc..  Five hundred of these will be donated to the free mobile spay/neuter clinics of PEACEAnimals and given to children bringing in pets, 500 to PurrProject (cat rescue/adoptions) and 500 to Colina Clinic, which offers 15-20 free sterilizations every Saturday  - calle V. Carranza 491.
LIBROS PARA COLOREAR VAN A SER REGALADOS A NIÑOS QUE VIENEN CON SU FAMILIAS Y MASCOTAS A LAS CLÍNICAS GRATIS

Lucy is requesting donations of CRAYONS to accompany the giveaway coloring books.  They can be dropped off at her shop at Basilio Badillo 295 or given to me.

SURPRISE IN A BOX

BEACH NEXT TO CAFE VALLARTE - LA PLAYA A UN LADO DE HOTEL ROSITA Y CAFE VALLARTE

Early Saturday morning was blue and I walked down to Café VallArte to meet a friend for a cup coffee for her and a cup of hot chocolate with canela for me.  It´s a tiny place with a few barstools and tables set up on the beach sidewalk perpendicular to the northern end of the malecón and a few doors away from  Hotel Rosita.  Owned and operated by an attractive Argentine couple who have eight rescue dogs, it´s a cozy and friendly spot. (calle 31 de octubre #89 en colonia 5 de diciembre).
GLITTERING, BLUE COWBOY BOOTS FOR SALE - BOTAS IMPRESIONANTES EN VENTA
As we were leaving,  I noticed a pair of glittering, blue cowboy boots at a shop two doors away, and stopped to take a photo.  The small, cardboard box next to the boots moved.  And then a small hand came out and then a foot.  I slowly pulled back the flaps and inside was a beautiful two-year old girl smiling at me. Her father was nearby.
LA SORPRESA DENTRO DE LA CAJA MOVIENDO A UN LADO DE LOS BOTES AZULES BRILLANTES.
FLAMENCO!  Isabela Rivera Cuenca,  beauiful and brilliant flamenco dancer from Barcelona, will be performing in Puerto Vallalrta as part of her world tour.    Accompanied by two excellent guitarists and one drummer, Isabel´s show will be at the cultural center on the isla Cuale on Sunday, February 19th at 6 PM.  Tickets are 200 pesos each and for sale at the "door."  I´ve seen her dance once before here,  and she was sensational.  Short video of Isabel dancing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adfk9SraoAM

VEA A ISABELA RIVERA CUENCA - 19 DE FEBRERO A LAS 6 - CENTRO CULTURAL - VALLARTA



EL TUITO:  A bright, white full moon woke me at four in the morning on Friday.  I waited until mid-morning to drive one hour south on the almost 100% serpentine road to el Tuito.  Although it´s only a two-lane road, the name of it is carretera ("highway")200, which does become a real highway much further south.
EL CAMPO DE TUITO
Boca de Tomatlán, the small village on an inlet, is the last point near the water before beginning the climb into the Sierra Madra foothills, where one sees pine trees on both sides of the road instead of palm trees.  El Tuito, which means "Place of Beauty" or "Place of God," is ranch and farm land with an abundance of fruit trees and a large variety of birds.  The Tuito river is very low now, and is where residents say many newborn puppies and kittens are often thrown.
EL RÍO TUITO DONDE VECINOS DICEN QUE GENTE TIRAN GATITOS Y CACHORRITOS RECIÉN NACIDOS.

Among the volunteers at the clinic:  Kai Doyle, who secured volunteers and donations of $240 USD (which paid for gasoline and extra driving time for the vet team), postered the area and offered her extra casita as a location; María Santander, supporter of local artists and owner of the Copelle gallery; Bonnie Jauregui, co-owner of the beautiful Rancho Primavera;  and animal advocate Cathy Gordon, who served on the founding board of directors of the SPCAPV when Janice Chatterton and I founded it about nine years ago.
KAI DOYLE - ORGANIZADORA - BUSCANDO PERROS Y GATOS PARA LLEVAR A LA CLÍNICA - EL TUITO

Kai and I drove around the outskirts of town with a volunteer for about an hour hoping to pick up cats and dogs to take to the clinic.  One young woman said that the small brown and white Pit Bull lying in the dirt in front of her home was pregnant, but potentially vicious.  I called to the dog, who approached wagging her tail and seemed happy with some pats.
PIT BULL PREÑADA POR SEGUNDA VEZ - PREGNANT FOR SECOND TIME
The woman said she didn´t want the dog to have more puppies and needed her brother to give her permission.  The dog never arrived on Saturday.  Although we saw many dogs on the dirt roads and talked to several pet owners, we drove back to the clinic without any animals.

STERILIZATIONS AT el tuito clinic - February 8-11

Female Dogs -  51; Male dogs - 14; Female cats - 19; Male cats - 12  TOTAL:  106

PLUS one pregnancy terminated for a dog with 8 fetuses

DONATIONS AT EL TUITO CLINIC:  940 pesos

DONATIONS TO PEACEANIMALS:  AmazonSmile - $42.86  (please take advantage of this easy way to send donations our way).
Norma Schuh - 1,000 pesos

OTHER DONATIONS:  Yvonne MacLean from Canada is in Puerto Vallarta to study Spanish for three weeks.  While here, she has been helping at the AngeliCat refuge, sweeping, mopping, cleaning out kitty litter boxes, plus feeding and socializing with the felines.  In addition, she has raised more than $900 CA via FB and has gone shopping for food, kitty litter, cleaning supplies and toys.

"PAPO" RECIBIÓ UNA PLAYERA POR HABER TRAIDO SU MASCOTA

EDUCATION PROGRAM:  Leslie Caratachea, vet tech and education director, made a presentation in el Tuito to 76 primary students at Escuela Urbana 598 - Josefina Ortiz de Dominguez on Tuesday, February 7th.  Loebe Ortega Salinas (¨Papo"),  a six-year old in the first grade, came in the next morning with his pet and received a hand blocked, 100% cotton t-shirt.

EUTHANASIA ("GOOD DEATH")  OF CATS AND DOGS IN MEXICO:  Someone mentioned to me recently that dogs and cats were no longer electrocuted in all of Mexico.  Unfortunately, this is not true. (award-winning documentary -   www.companionstonone.com)


"Electrocution is the most common method employed to kill unwanted animals in Mexico. This archaic practice is not only painful and slow, but is also highly unreliable and is often carried out with makeshift equipment in nightmarish conditions. Although federal law in Mexico requires the animals be unconscious or sedated prior to being electrocuted, this legality is virtually never enforced and the animals are almost always electrocuted while fully conscious and aware."Compassion Without Borders."

PEACEANIMALS BUFFET DINNER AND MOVIE NIGHT ("Mr. Hulo´s Holiday") on FEBRUARY 8TH AT VILLA BALBOA was a sell-out at 35 people.  Raised:  28,000 pesos (approximately $1,400 USD).  This comes close to paying for one free mobile spay/neuter clinic @ $1,800 USD.  Thank you to Yvonne and Betty Miller for underwriting this lovely evening.
