PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY


CANTERA HILLS - PLAYA GRANDE - CERROS DE CANTERA



SANTA FE, NAYARIT is 18 km. northeast of Vallarta, a 45-minute drive.  Turning east at Mezcales, the first saintly town in the municipality of the Valle de Banderas is San 
Clemente, followed by el Porvenir ("future"), San Vicente,  San Jose, Santa Fe and finally San Juan.  This was our first visit to Santa Fe. 

Thank you to Janina Erban, owner
of Paraiso Felino (cat shelter with 320 kitties) in San Juan, for 
securing location and volunteers and paying the extra gasoline and driving time costs for a clinic outside Vallarta. The clinic took place in an empty, very small cement house in a modest residential area.

CLÍNICA EN SANTE FE, NAYARIT

Heading back to Vallarta on the one-way road just a few kilometers west of Santa Fe, I passed a junkyard where a tan, very pregnant Pit 
Bull mix, teats heavy with milk, was standing in front of it.  There
were three small bags of kibble in my car, so stopped and brought the food to the fence. On the other side was a thin, barking male dog
.

and an underweight, sad looking female Boxer/Pit Bull mix with one blue eye.  She had been sitting quietly under the shade of a car´s skeleton before coming over to eat.  A fourth dog was barking at the back of the lot. No humans around.  

ON THE ROAD WEST TO SAN JOSÉ FROM SANTA FE.  - HEMBRA MUY SOCIABLE VIVIENDO PARA SER GUARDIÁN DE UN CAMBALACHE PARA VEHÍCULOS 
The dogs exist to guard the junkyard.  Puppies will be born on gravel or mud. Those that survive will be given away unsterilized, ultimately adding to hundreds of homeless dogs born to suffer.

PERRA MUY MUY PREÑADA VIVIENDO EN UN CAMBALACHE DE VEHÍCULOS  CERCA DE SANTA FE.

Postscript:  Claudia Gallegos,  generous dog rescuer, made a trip to the junkyard, advising owner she would take the pregnant Pittie home with her, find homes for pups at 8 weeks and return the mother.  The man´s reply was that none of the dogs were pregnant and he didn´t need any help. 


STERILIZATIONS AT SANTE FE, NAYARIT - July 8-11

Female dogs - 44; Male dogs - 17; Female cats - 67; Male cats - 40

TOTAL:  168  PLUS

PLAZA - EL POVENIR
EL PORVENIR, NAYARIT At Mezcales,  the second small town to the east, 16 km. from Vallarta. Porvenir,  which means "future," is followed by all "saint" towns.  
CLÍNICA EN UNA BODEGA EN EL PORVENIR

The clinic took place in an airy, long rectangular cement bodega.  A block away at the immaculate and tree-filled plaza, three happy male dogs rollicked and rolled in the lawn´s muddy puddles.  Hot, humid days are broken by occasional evening thunderstorms.

ESPERANDO SU TURNO Y HACIENDO SU DISTANCIA - SANTA FE, NAY.

EDUCATION PROGRAM:  Due to coronavirus, on hold until classes resume.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Mexicans are very sociable. We are missing the embraces and kisses on the cheek.

Shop owners required to wear masks.  Not to comply can result in a 5,000 peso fine.  Hospital occupancy currently at 27%. If at 50%, Vallarta goes into 14-day lockdown.  W Hotel at the long, powdery white sandy beach at Destiladeras beach in Nayarit is open.  Pool open.  Beach closed. All beaches in Nayarit, with the inexplicable exception of Sayulita, are closed.  A pity, as there is so much space and never necessary to cluster.  Vallarta beaches and those to the south open.

WHITE KITTEN:  Loud kitten meows from our patio.  A tiny white kitten, not more than a couple of days old, was crawling very slowly and blindly across the tiles.
GATITO CUANDO LO ENCONTRÉ
EN NUESTRO PATIO.
Two stressful hours later I had found an experienced foster home with Suzanna Persa, who named him "Angelito." She thinks he is male.

"ANGELITO" CON SUZANNA PERSA - FOTO - SUZANNA
 Keeping it alive meant bottle feeding the little kitten every three hours.  Suzanna was also bottle feeding three other older kittens every four hours.  After being neutered, Angelito will be for adoption in a couple of months.  The kitten´s arrival at our home remains a mystery. 

WHITE CATS:  Those born with non-blue eyes are 17-22% deaf; 40% deaf if born with one blue eye; and 65-85% deaf if both eyes blue.

BROWN PUPPY:  As quickly as its little legs would go, the tiny brown puppy was trotting down the dusty road in Paso Guayabitos. Stopped the car, picked it up and drove home.  She had sweet puppy breath and was full of worms.  The vet said she was not more than five weeks old.  I called her "Petunia."  She spent a week with us before A Dogs New Life shelter found a foster home for Petunia in Bucerias.  After a very short stay, the adorable puppy was adopted.  www.adogsnewlife.org

CACHORRITA DE 5 SEMANAS  QUE ENCONTRÉ EN LA CALLE DEPASO GUAYABITOS.  EL REFUGIO DE
 "A DOGS NEW LIFE"  EN BUCERIAS ENCONTRÓ BUENA FAMILIA PARA ELLA.  ADOPTIVE FAMILY.

:JAGUARS:  Two beautiful jaguars were found poisoned high up in the hills above Puerto Vallarta in Sierra de Vallejo, where there are large cattle ranches.  One of the suspected killers posted a photo of himself holding the head of a jaguar, sparking outrage and an investigation that bore no results.  
DOS JAGUARES HERMOSOS ENVENADOS EN SIERRA DE VALLEJO.  UNO DE LOS ASASINOS SACÓ UNA FOTO DE ÉL CON LA CABEZA DE UNO DE LOS JAGUARES.  HAY MUCHOS RANCHOS  EN ESAs PARTES.  HAY SEGURIDAD NACIÓNAL PARA TODOS LOS RANCHEROS CON VERIFICACIÓN DE SU MUERTOS DE GANADO.  SIN EDUCACIÓN, EL JAGUAR, QUE ESTÁ EN PELIGRO DE EXTINCIÓN, NO VA A SOBREVIVIR.
Neither Jalisco nor Nayarit have state programs to support ranchers who live amongst predators. However, the National Confederation of Livestock Organizations has a fund that provides insurance covering all reported, verifiable losses. It´s a nationwide compensation payment to which all cattle ranchers are entitled. Educating ranchers is critical to the survival of the endangered Mexican jaguar. For more information and how to help:   www.alianzajaguar.org

PLAYA GRANDE:  To escape from a multitude of masks,  we take our dogs to Playa Grande, a 25-minute drive from centro.  The small village, only reachable by a dirt road, had been closed to outsiders for two months. Behind the village are more than 2,000 hectares of ejido land.  No fishing or hunting allowed.  
PLAYA GRANDE  - EL RÍO DE PITIALLA Y SUS COLINAS DE CANTERA Y GRANITO


Playa Grande is not a "big beach." The río Cuale runs through the canyon, and on its banks are a few small, sandy beaches.  The river is bordered on both sides by pink cantera and grey granite cliffs covered in dense, emerald green jungle. There is a great gash on one of the cantera hills from strip mining, which gives the community a source of income. 

Next to the river, cool breezes waft down from the foothills of the Sierra Madres. Clouds of dark butterflies cluster on the damp earth, drinking minerals they need to survive. Other than a few young boys in a swimming hole where water is brown from recent torrential rains, we are alone in the natural world.

PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY:   My cousin Eric Overton´s film, "Collodion," concerning the preservation of beauty, was selected as one of the documentaries to be shown at the D.C. Film Festival.  It is now free on Amazon Prime - otherwise for rent or purchase on Amazon.  I think it is very good and dazzlingly beautiful.  Trailer on link below photo:

UPDATES AND ECOCIDE



SHELTERING IN - PLAYA GEMELAS - PUERTO VALLARTA - FIRST WEEK OF JULY- PRIMERA SEMANA DE JULIO
VILLA DE GUADALUPE:  Setting out for a clinic location that one has never been to, or even heard of, is often an adventure.  One can get lost.  Many corners have no street signs.  Street numbers often do not go in sequence. GPS does not work everywhere. Roads can be very dusty, pockmarked, rutted and flooded. Unmarked speed bumps, and there are many, can be startling... or amusing. 
UNAS CASA EN COL. VILLA DE GUADALUPE
Using the "Waze" app, the drive northeast to colonia Villa de Guadalupe took twenty-five minutes.  Although it was our first visit to this neighborhood, it´s very close to the municipality of Pitillal and the colonia of Coapinole. A brief morning downpour had muddied many of the dirt roads. 
FRENTE DE LA CLÍNICA EN COL. VILLA DE GUADALUPE - IN FRONT OF THE CLINIC

Surgeries took place in the front cement and brick patio of a home belonging to the family of a young woman named Cristina, who had contacted us.  As with other neighborhoods in many cities and towns in Mexico, there was visible poverty in Villa de Guadalupe.


CRISTINA, QUIEN DONÓ SU CASA PARA LA CLÍNICA EN COLONIA VILLA DE GUADALUPE
Recent days had been hot, with high humidity and temperatures hovering at about 90 degrees.  Five cats brought to the clinic in a bird cage were soon panting,  so placed in front of a fan and operated on right away.

DR. PACHECO Y CONCHA - COLONIA MOJONERAS

MOJONERAS is a dusty, inland colonia northeast of the airport and the main bus terminal. The clinics have taken place there once or twice a year, and always at the airy, cement local government building a couple of blocks from the treeless, grassless and plantless main plaza.
POR HABER ESTADO ESTERILIZADO ANTES DE ESTA CLÍNICA, EL PERRO ESTABA TRATADO POR
 PULGAS & GARRAPATAS - GRATUITA   COL. MOJONERAS
Animals that have been previously spayed and neutered are always treated without cost for fleas, ticks and parasites. One man said that he didn´t know if his large male dog had been sterilized. A quick look confirmed that it had been,  so the dog was treated for free and his owner given a two-cup bag of kibble and a PEACEAnimals lasso-style leash.

STERILIZATIONS AT CLINIC IN MOJONERAS - July 1-4:
Female dogs - 36; Male dogs - 18; Female cats - 44; Male cats - 30  TOTAL:  128

EDUCATION PROGRAM:  Due to coronavirus, on hold until classes resume.

NIÑA CON LIBRITO DE COLOREAR DE PEACEANIMALS - MOJONERAS
ECOCIDE is what protestors on both sides of the Pitillal river were calling the bulldozing and uprooting of dozens of trees beginning at the Fluvial bridge. The action was intended to prevent flooding of nearby neighboods where the ground is less able to absorb water, the result of development.  This project, which took place in two days time while locals were "sheltering in," caused the death of many birds, turtles and other small animals living in the river or on its banks.


The Pitillal river, springing from high up in the Sierra Madres, meanders down to Puerto Vallarta, emptying into Banderas Bay.  With the removal of earth and trees, and by destroying  curves of the river that act as brakes,  the Pitillal will now move at a gallop, allowing little time for water to seep into the soil.  Excess sediment carried by the river into the forty-mile, horseshoe-shaped bay will cloud its beauty and potentially harm the fish. 

If, as a resident or tourist,  you have suggestions or questions regarding Puerto Vallarta, please contact: Office of the Mayor:  presidencia.municipal@puertovallarta.gob.mx and/or Office of Tourism:  turismomunicipalpv@gmail.com



COVID-19 UPDATES FOR PUERTO VALLARTA:

Hotels now at 27% occupancy, up from 0%.  Streets and sidewalks  no longer empty. Beaches not crowded. Some gyms and churches allowed to reopen at reduced numbers, with masks required.  The library, which also serves as a community center, has reopened. Nightly displays of fireworks from the "pirate" ship in Puerto Vallarta have started up again, and seem almost celebratory. 
SAYULITA - VISTA DEL RESTAURANTE DON PEDRO.  LA PLAYA ESTABA ABIERTA, PERO CASI NO HAY GENTE.
VIEW OF BEACH IN SAYULITA FROM DON PEDRO RESTAURANT -  BEACH OPEN BUT ALMOST EMPTY.

In the nearby state of Nayarit, the Four Seasons and the St. Regis hotels have reopened in Punta de Mita. Only registered guests allowed in. Occupancy rate is 30%.  Beaches closed but hotel pools open. Restaurants and shops open, golf courses open.  Fifteen minutes away in Sayulita, shops, restaurants and beach open, but very few people on it.  Other than for waiters, no masks in sight.
EL RÍO HORCONES ENTRANDO  EN LA BAHÍA - BOCA DE TOMATLÁN - HORCONES RIVER EMPTYING INTO BANDERAS BAY

Boca de Tomatlán, a small fishing village 30 minutes south of Vallarta, has only one entrance for vehicles.  It was closed for ten weeks with guards stationed 24/7. People attempting to enter were told to "go back home."  The cement malecón (promenade) in Boca, next to the río Horcones, was constructed three years ago as a gentrification gesture.  It is already beginning to break apart. 
DESPUÉS DE SOLAMENTE 3 AÑOS, EL MALECÓN DE BOCA ESTÁ QUEBRANDO.
Piers south of Boca belonging to the villages of las Ánimas and Quimixto were available only to residents for transporation and for deliveries of food and necessary supplies.  All three piers have reopened and water taxis allowed to operate at 50% of passenger capacity.  No cases of coronavirus to date and no masks on display in Boca.
BELLEZA EN LA BAHÍA - EXCURSION EN PANGA

Soon after Boca reopened, I joined a panga exploration with Karla de la Peña, animal/environmental activist and owner of Boca Divers. The water in the bay was 80 degrees and very transparent. Our legs looked filmy Mediterannean blue and mysterious underneath us as a pod of small, spotted dolphins swam nearby, blissfully unaware of the troubles of humans ashore.
MÁS BELLEZA - PERO SE NECESITA MÁS LLUVIA -RAINS WILL HOPEFULLY SOON TURN EVERYTHING GREEN.

FOOD BANKS IN VALLARTA:   Francie Nguyen, owner and chef of Bonito Kitchen restaurant, has raised over $200,000 US to date, providing meals for approximately 12,000 people every week.  Donations made to website directly save money on service charges from fundraising platforms:   https://vallartafoodbank.com/donate-1

Another very good food bank is run by the Volcanes Community,  located in a poor, semi-rural neighborhood with an excellent school.  https://volcanesproject.com/update-on-our-food-bank/
