Restaurante El Volador - Quimixto
SAN VICENTE, NAYARIT is a 45- minute drive northeast of Vallarta and where we visit two or three times a year.
The clinic took place in a neighborhood we had never been to before, not far from the town plaza, where skinny dogs roam streets searching for something to eat.
Villas Miramar- San Vicente, Nayarit
Three devoted animal rescuers contacted Dr. Poli asking for a clinic in the colonia of Villas Miramar in San Vicente - Professor Eli Remberto Valdez Montoñez, Fernando Eliutt Dominguez Barrera and Mercedez Gómez Santos. Fernando has thirteen cats and eight dogs that he found on the streets. Remberto showed me a tiny, almost blind grey and white kitten he had rescued the day before.
This is a poor colonia, but even in these very difficult times, the community raised the extra funds (gasoline & driving time) for an outside of Vallarta clinic. Locals provided an empty cinderblock house as a location and secured volunteers, breakfasts and lunches for the vet team. They were kind and generous, and grateful that there would be less suffering for animals in their neighborhood.

COLONIA INFONAVIT, PUERTO VALLARTA - The neighborhood is situated about 15 minutes north east of centro Vallarta, directly in back of MacroPlaza, a very large shopping mall where residents wearing masks are taking their morning and evening walks in the spacious, tree-filled parking lot. Several blocks east is an empty police station where the clinics always take place. The streets are full of roaming dogs.

donde hay muchísmos perros de la calle. Una negrita sín dueño tiene 15.
A young man said at 6:20 AM he was the third person to be at the clinic for registration. A friend had just given him a very pregnant brown Pit Bull whose hip bones and spine were visible. The meek dog,
Perra muy malcuidada y preñada fué regalada a este joven - Infonavit
now rescued, had been utterly neglected by her owner. Later that morning her pregnancy (13 fetuses) was terminated. After delivering the 2-cup bags of kibble (I gave two to the new dog owner), PEACEAnimals coloring books and lasso leashes, I walked across the street to the muddy road that leads to the Pitillal river. It is high and flowing fast and the trees next to it are tall and old and beautiful.
río Pitillal - InfonavitBut piles of garbage and trash litter the side of the dirt road and there are always barking dogs on the loose. While taking a photo of a cluster of small puppies in the middle of the muddied dirt road, I felt a sudden, sharp pain on my left calf. The black mama dog with white chest had gotten up from her resting place under a beaten-up white truck and given me a hard bite on my bare leg. I slowly backed away until she stopped following, all the while barking and baring her teeth.

Neighbors said the mama dog is homeless and has seven more puppies from her previous litter, making fifteen total living on the road Those that survive will suffer and add to the overpopulation of homeless dogs next to the river. I gave some bags of kibble and a few leashes to a ten-year old boy who lives nearby, telling him I would pay 50 pesos for each dog he could bring to the clinic. Situation reported and photos sent to Vallarta shelters and local government agency. Dr. Diego, head of the city shelter, Centro de Control y Salud Animal, responded that he would visit the area.

COVID-19: Distance Learning: Classes restarted on August 24th and are being broadcast on national television and radio. A 2018 survey determined that approximately 11% of Mexico´s population (126 million in 2018) does not have television. This percentage represents about 14 million people living in rural communities who will have enormous difficulty in providing education for their children. Clubs and bars have reopened in Vallarta.

A friend from Vallarta visiting London reports very few face masks on display, including on waiters in restaurants. Incongruous signs are posted around town: "Stay home. Help Out. Eat Out. Lose weight."
Diners pay half the amount of their bill. The government reimburses restaurant owners the other half.

Two hours after the last blog was sent with a comment that hurricane Genevieve hadn´t brought big rains, a deluge of rain accompanied by a rollicking, crashing, flashing, thrilling three-hour storm arrived. A friend´s granddaughter told her that these storms are like lullabies for her. After torrential rains, high rivers carry sediment and topsoil down to the bay, coating areas nearest the rivers with great smears of brown. Conveniently, storms and showers almost always take place at night and are quite beautiful. So far this summer, Mexico has experienced three hurricanes and seven tropical storms. Hurricane season doesn´t end until November.

ESCAPE TO PARADISE: Coco´s, a popular family owned restaurant on the beach in Quimixto, a small village 15 minutes south by water taxi from (maskless) Boca de Tomatlán, was destroyed last year by flooding of the nearby Quimixto river. Coco´s was rebuilt, but the river roared back, destroying it a second time. Owners have opened a smaller place in the village close to the pier, but far from the river.
Fue el restuarante Coco´s - Quimixto
On a beautiful blue morning, a friend and I took a 15-minute panga ride from Boca to Quimixto and were left off on the beach in front of of El Volador restaurant. Settling onto chaise longs under colorful striped umbrellas, we watched pelicans plunging into a pod of jumping silvery fish, while a Pug puppy
paddled about in small waves and dug holes in the sand for burial of sticks and other treasures. Temperature of the murky, sediment-infused water is about 82 degrees, with cool currents coming from the rain-filled river. In the distance, a train of white puffy clouds followed the curve of the horseshoe-shaped bay. Other than our waiter and the owners of the restaurant. no one else was there. Lunch delicious -freshly squeezed lemonades, guacamole and red snapper fished out of the bay a few hours earlier.
When I arrived home, a very large and gorgeous iguana was waiting for me in our pool.
