Were the ancient engineers of Egypt using the earth's geomagnetic gravity to harness energy through the pyramids? Did inventor Nikola Tesla re-discover some of this ancient technology and use it to power his Wardenclyffe Tower in the early 1900s? In this exclusive interview I am joined by engineer Christopher Dunn, who has authored several ground breaking books that have sent shockwaves throughout the Egyptological world going back to the late 90s such as The Giza Power Plant, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt and his newest Giza: the Tesla Connection. In this episode, Chris will unveil what he believes to be the true function and purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. GET CHRIS' BOOK HERE JOIN US FOR ONE OF OUR 2024 ADVENTURE TOURS

Over the summer I had the good fortune to be a part of an amazing group of food, wine & hospitality leaders who were tasked with opening our minds and baring our souls - personally & professionally - on a 24/7 non-stop/action-packed journey to Israel, aka Reality Israel. I learned so much about the complexities of the region and the importance of food culture. I walked away with more questions than answers and I was also given the incredible gift of family. Waxing poetic about the trip aside — it would have never had been the kind of experience without the incredible leadership of Michael Bauer. He is a professional educator and tour guide. As a field educator with over 25 years of experience, Michael has led adventure tours around Israel, Jordan, the Sinai desert and Turkey. Michael has guided and taught Senators and Parliament members from different countries, Military Intelligence Units, Celebrities from the entertainment industry — ahem and me! He is also the author of “Israel Journey - Eight Days In One Of The World's Most Complex Countries”. I'm so thrilled to be reunited with Michael today. Quotes “The conflict is primarily a story about psychology and the preservation of identity” - Michael “Telling personal stories and exploring emotions is an effective way to learn about the Middle East, as opposed to only learning through statistics and text” - Michael Guests Social Media Links Michael Bauer https://www.instagram.com/bauertrails/ Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ The List Are You On It | Home ‌ ‌ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 05:55 Exploring the Evolution of Adventure Tours in the Middle East 07:46 Uncovering the Historical Legacy of Israel for Tourists. 10:24 Exploring The Culinary Diversity of Israel 14:34 Food Politics in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 16:25 Political Discourse Around Food in Jerusalem 18:25 Reflection on a Trip to the West Bank and Jordan 26:14 The Meaning of Judaism and Kosher Rules 30:12 Kosher Rules in Jewish Identity 34:01 Ethiopian Jews and the Restrictions of Kosher Laws 41:47 Incorporating Personal Stories into Learning About Israel 43:35 The Power of Stories in Shaping Emotions and Experiences 46:24 Understanding The Rich Cultural Heritage of Israel 49:41 Conclusion Produced by Heartcast Media www.heartcastmedia.com

Today's interview was with David Blank, owner of Happy Tails Canine Adventure Tours. David is the contact you need to know if you like travel and taking your dogs along! Background David started as a tour guide and found tremendous happiness with travel and tourism and eventually realized that incorporating the travelers' dogs in their adventures was an incredibly enriching experience. He talks about his adopted dog Max, who was close to being euthanized, became the spark for the 20,000 mile journey that would ensue.  The discovery of calm and connection to the dogs takes a bit of learning, but owners find that it gives their dog a sense of relaxation and confidence that they never had before.  Topics I talk about some of the basic steps that David requires for the dog to get started, such as; Obeying sit, stay, type commands Ability to be calm in a dog-friendly restaurant environment Not aggressive towards other animals or humans They need to be able to physically perform in these environments (on more strenuous hikes) Comfort level with the outdoors and other dogs We talk about some day tours as well, so if you or your dog are not ready for the long adventure you can explore some of the wine country in Northern California, or southwest trips, and many more. David was a fun interview and is a great inspiration for those wanting to find a deeper connection with their dog. We'll talk about David's favorite spots to go on adventures. You can visit their website at HappyTailsTours.com You can call them at 262-6-CANINE  (262-622-6463) On Instagram at @happytailstours or on Facebook here. Today's Email Question Today's question was about the training course and how the process steps up, what ages the dogs need to be for which steps, etc. Michelle asked a great question and something that needs to be addressed for anyone interested in the course.  Thank you P.U.P. Dog Rescue! Thanks to our sponsor P.U.P. Dog rescue as well - today's rescue is Moana! She's a 5 month old, white scruffy 6 pound terrier mix. Adorable, and will likely be somewhere around 15-22 pound range. She's housebroken and energetic.

Also Uber in PV and Frida Kahlo Subscribe on iTunes & Leave a Good Review   Listen to The Podcast! Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be to introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El Dorado [caption id="attachment_194" align="aligncenter" width="5312"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El  Dorado transforms into The Vista Grill. That’s the that we all have grown to know and love over the years, the Vista Grill that used to be up on the hill, well now it has a new vista and that is right on the beach where you get the same Vista Grill Menu, and the fantastic Vista Grill service and what’s best, is it’s right there on the beach with a dramatic view of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night with beautiful colors. You can enjoy dinner under the stars, with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. ! It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! Today we have a special show but first, what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 11th of July, 2017. [caption id="attachment_809" align="alignright" width="233"] UBER in Puerto Vallarta[/caption] For the last couple of weeks I have been reporting back to you in the saga of the arrival of Uber into the Bahia de Banderas. Uber is in Puerto Vallarta and in Nuevo Vallarta, and the taxi unions are mad as all get out. I have been watching and reading reports of taxi drivers acting badly. They are not taking this invasion of Uber sitting down. They are in some cases, getting a little violent. So this week, I want to give you travelers some tips and you will do well by listening to them and well, taking my advice. First of all, Uber drivers are not allowed to pick up at the airport or the Marina, so right off the bat, any of you who are thinking hey, I’ll just summon up an Uber ride at the airport, forget it. They are not allowed. Be careful if you are being picked up by a by a friend or relative at the airport, for safety sake and to avoid being mistaken for an Uber user and your friend, an Uber driver, make sure you greet your friend with a hug or a kiss, and sit in the front passenger seat of the car. If you are actually taking an Uber ride outside of the airport area, hop in the front seat and say something like. “Thanks amigo”, and shake hands. That way you look like friends and not driver and fare. When waiting for your Uber driver, try to avoid staring at your mobile device. Taxi drivers can detect an Uber user from a mile away. Be careful. Don’t be staring at your phone. Don’t wait for your Uber ride near a taxi stand or places where taxis wait to pick up rides like in front of your hotel or a restaurant or where taxis congregate and wait for fares like near the Malecon. And.. Finally, if you have to be somewhere on time, like at the airport to catch your flight, take a cab for goodness sake. You don’t want to take the chance that you will be blocked in by a bunch of angry taxistas, waiting you out in your Uber ride, until you have to abandon that ride and hop in their cab. I saw a news report the other day and a tourist and his Uber driver were blocked by a bunch of taxi drivers and the taxi drivers coaxed the tourist out of the car, offering him a free ride to the airport. Wow! Even that Uber user couldn’t turn that deal down. Sheesh! Uber Puerto Vallarta Click Here Hey, just remember, cabs are cheap by US and Canadian standards here in Puerto Vallarta and a cab ride back to the airport from your condo or hotel, is actually less expensive than the federal taxis out of the airport, so take a cab back to the airport. Look, I get it. I understand the tendency to use up all of your pesos in your pocket before you depart Mexico, and I’m pretty sure that many Uber users out there are thinking, I really don’t want to go to the ATM to exchange money for a taxi ride to the airport, I’ll just use Uber. No cash needed. But really, Listen to me, be on the safe side and use a yellow taxi back to the cruise ship or to the airport. It’s cheap. Don’t cheap out and end your stay in paradise on a sour note guys, just saying! Now I know some of you more seasoned Puerto Vallarta travelers are too cheap to pay for an airport taxi, and choose to lug all of your luggage and bags out of [caption id="attachment_202" align="aligncenter" width="751"] Taxi Pay Window in the Puerto Vallarta Airport[/caption] the airport lobby doors and cross over the bridge to the other side of the carratera and hail a cab from the spot under the bridge next to Tacon de Marlin, but how smart is that? I mean there you are, actually penny pinching on vacation, in the tropical heat after a long flight. I mean really? Really? Oh well. To each his own. Now the Tacon de Marlin thing, that’s for another show,  but I just say get used to the fact that you will be taking that Federal Airport Taxi to your hotel, condo or resort when you get into Puerto Vallarta. I have all the information in episode 3 of the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show where I talk about what to expect when you land at the Puerto Vallarta Airport. I also have a picture of the most current airport taxi rates in the show notes for this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show. Frida Kahlo’s 110th Birthday [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HLEVthozXM[/embed] If you have ever been to Puerto Vallarta, or if you do plan on going, you most probably see a painting of a lady’s face. You will find her on beach towels, posters, [caption id="attachment_1007" align="alignright" width="288"] Frida Kahlo[/caption] prints, She is usually painted with her black hair up in a bun piled on her head adorned with flowers or comb’s. She has this uni-brow, these dark arched eyebrows connected in the center. Those of you who have been to Vallarta, have you seen her? Well she is Frida. And Frida Kahlo was one of Mexico’s most beloved artists, and she was quite a woman with a very interesting life. She was born in Coyocan, in Mexico City in 1907, Although she died at the young age of 47, she lives on today in Puerto Vallarta. Frida contracted Polio when she was 6, and the disease did a number on her right leg and foot which caused her to limp. At the age of 18, she was riding a bus with a friend when it collided with a trolley car and she was impaled by a steel handrail which went into her hip. And out the other side fracturing her pelvis and her spine. It was during the recuperation from the accident when Frida took up painting. At the age of 21 she sought out the famous Mexican muralist and fellow communist Diego Rivera whom she ended up marrying he was easily 20 years her senior. She was a surrealist painter, and she liked to paint portraits of herself. Over 55 of them. That’s why you see so many portraits of her face. She and Rivera were a force to be reckoned with but Diego couldn’t be true. They divorced and remarried. She even had an affair with the famous Leon Trotsky who actually lived in exile under her roof for two years with Diego and his own wife Trotsky’s own wife Natalia, in Coyocan, Mexico City.  Yes Frida and Diego were big in the Communist party. [caption id="attachment_1008" align="alignleft" width="225"] Frida Kahlo with Monkeys[/caption] There was a falling out between Diego and Trotsky,  and his wife moved out of the Kahlo Rivera compound, and a year and a half later, one of Joseph Stalin’s henchmen put an ice axe through Trotsky’s skull. Teach the pointy bearded dude to mess with Frida. Boom. Okay, I could go on and on about Frida Kahlo, but there’s not enough time for that today. I do have a couple of links and a great YouTube video about her that you can check out on my website at www.Puertovallartatravelshow.com.

Listen to The Podcast I saw this great post about this suspension bridge in Puerto Vallarta that is like 4 or 5 football fields long. I saw pictures of it and just wanted to find out more [caption id="attachment_992" align="alignright" width="230"] Edgar Lopez, Canopy River[/caption] about it so JR checked it out for me and said Barry, you need to talk to these people at Canopy River. They have this bridge, ziplines, hikes and an incredible Saturday and Sunday brunch that will blow your mind. This place is in the rain-forest and on Ejido land. Now we will talk a little about the Ejido in the conversation, but we are going to talk Ejidios in a podcast coming up soon, but let me read a bit about the history of the Ejido and from the mission statement here at Canopy River.. HISTORY: El Jorullo was founded in 1940 with 180 inhabitants and 157 ejidatarios and it belongs to the Association of Foresters North Coast Jalisco. It is mainly dedicated to the cultivation of various seeds, who are planted through a method that inhabitants adapted to the mountainous area -these seeds are distributed in Puerto Vallarta and its surroundings. Crafting is another main activity of this community, they use wood and skins to produce from centerpieces to figures carved in different materials and clothing accessories. The third main activity is tourism, as the area offers an impressive variety of natural settings; the contrast between the mountains and the beach is of great impact for local and international tourists, making this ejido a unique jewel in Mexico. MISSION: We are a united cooperative, solid and sustainable, with a team of collaborators qualified and committed, we conserve and protect our ecosystem, dedicated to create new experiences for our visitors accomplishing for them to live the best moment of their lives, waking up the greatest emotions in spiritual communion with nature, in a paradise, natural environment, that motivates the great and secure adventure exceeding their expectations.

Conservationist, filmmaker, adventure tour guide, and geologist, Philip Price is impassioned to save Asian Elephants by bringing attention to what is happening to both the elephants and the people of Sri Lanka. As people fled in exile during the 30 year civil war, much of the island's northern territory was abandoned, benefitting the islands elephants who moved into the open new open range. Post-war, as people return to claim their ancestral lands, human-elephant conflict has escalated. In 1998 Philip was production assistant for the film, “Elephants of Paradise,” a project that funded and documented the capture and relocation of Sri Lanka's elephants. As it turned out, relocating only served to intensify the problems. Now, through interactive filming and unique adventure tours, Philip is documenting this journey, providing impetus and greater awareness to save the Asian Elephants from extinction, one of the greatest ecological challenges of our time. brbr Journey to Saving Ganesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A994g9JsfyE brbr Saving Ganesh low resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8dFGps5nnc OR HD resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuMHy6CVaQ8

What happens when you have an island, a protracted civil war, and a magnificent species on the brink of extinction? Scientist, geologist, adventure tour guide, and visionary filmmaker with a lifelong commitment to conservation and environmental issues, Philip Price founded GeoWandering.com and SavingGanesh.org to share his journey and invites us to participate in creative efforts to turn the tides for the elephants and people of Sri Lanka, and transform the future for the Asian Elephant. In 1998 Philip was involved in making the film, “Elephants of Paradise,” a project that documented and raised funds for the capture and translocation of the island's elephants, in hopes of resolving the conflicts. What resulted from that unique opportunity propelled Philip on a mission that now finds him at the heart of helping the people and the elephants of Sri Lanka, and in doing so, highlights that each of has the ability to be a catalyst for change.
