NOTE: The Fiesta of San Sebastián begins January 18
and ends January 21.
In the evening, it was still sprinkling in Puerto Vallarta, where we sat on the stands at the stadium to watch the fabulous Fireworks Festival - it was France´s turn - and then see the wonderful Mexican singer, Lila Downs, in concert. The festival ended with an incredible thirty minutes of fireworks on New Year´s Eve. From a friend´s condo high up in the hills, we watched the fantastic displays from the pier at Los Muertos beach all the way around the horseshoe-shaped bay to Punta de Mita, forty miles away. Far below us, sailboats and yachts gave off shimmering golden lights and sent up Chinese sky lanterns that slowly disappeared out of sight.

RESCUES: A few days before Christmas as I was taking breakfasts
to five homeless cats a couple of blocks away, a man stopped me asking if I
knew who the owner was of the black and white puppy in the street. It was six or eight weeks old, clean and plump and pretty. No one was in sight and no house doors were
open so I picked up the puppy. As I
held it, wondering what to do next, a woman walked towards me. I asked if the puppy were hers. It wasn´t. I told her I couldn´t keep it because I had eleven rescues at home. She asked if I could part with one of them because a friend of hers wanted to adopt a puppy. We both smiled as I handed the puppy to her. Silvia Peña, manager of the Blue Vital spa, gave me her business card and walked walked up the hill with the lucky pup. I e-mailed her the clinic information as soon
as I got home.
PLEASE “LIKE” PEACEANIMALS ON FACEBOOK. THANK YOU.
