In this episode we are drinking our first tequila cocktail–the Frozen Margarita! This frozen summertime crowd-pleaser is a spin on a vintage recipe called the daisy. For our non-Spanish speakers “margarita” is Spanish for “daisy.”

The Agave Goddess with 200 breasts; jimadors stripping lethal thorny leaves off agaves; farmers battling cambio climatico (climate change); distillers contemplating mono-culture production and the environmental impact of tequila; generations-old tequila makers versus globalization. Stories of tequila from the Tequila Region in Mexico and beyond. Tequila does not only mean alcohol—it means Mexico’s culture, history and future. The biggest tequila companies are not Mexican anymore. They are internationally owned. The Tequila Chamber of Commerce is helping producers promote the drink. They are expected to sell millions and millions of liters to China in the future. Guillermo Erikson Sauza, the fifth generation to make tequila in his family talks about how his grandfather unexpectedly sold the company in 1978 and how he has worked to build up a small a distillery making his Fortaleza brand in the traditional way. And Carmen Villareal, a tequilera, one of the few women in Mexico to run a Tequila company—Tequila San Matais, now 127 years old. And Mariano Martinez, from a fourth generation family restaurant business in Dallas,Texas. How he developed the first frozen margarita machine in 1971, based on the 7-Eleven Slurpee machine, using a soft serve ice cream maker "suped up like a car." The machine is now at the Smithsonian.
Nacho Daddy Restaurant is Known For its Expat Friendly Service and Activities, and the Boutique Community Theater, a Real Grass Roots Neighborhood Theatre. We Talk with Sean Moore and Tammy Carruthers Prust, Owners of Nacho Daddy Restaurant and Bar, and Catherine Caldera From the Boutique Theater in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 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 introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Listen To The Podcast [caption id="attachment_2936" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Nacho Daddy, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] That music you were just listening to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The [caption id="attachment_2021" align="alignright" width="300"] The Vista Grill, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week I’m going to introduce you to three American Expats who found a way to make a living in Paradise. They are Sean Moore and Tammy Carruthers Prust, from Nacho Daddy Restaurant and Bar on Basillio Badillo on the Southside of Puerto Vallarta, and Catherine Caldera from the Boutique Theater located just above Nacho Daddy, ha, funny how I worked that one out. But before we get to them, let’s see what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 25th of April 2018.

So if you are in town, you know the drill, head on down to Kelly’s Pour Favor at 6:30, and listen to some music, have a few pops with JR and me, and let my listeners know what you are doing in paradise. It’s always a lot of fun and they have that great rooftop patio that’s great for interviews. So don’t be shy, a couple of drinks will solve that, come talk to us and if you are a business in Puerto Vallarta, and you want to tell us what you do, what services you perform here, come on by and let’s talk. So that’s Tuesday May 8th from 6:30 till 8. I want to catch the sunset. But hey, if there’s a bunch of you, and you can make it interesting, I will forgo that Puerto Vallarta Sunset, just to bring you to my listeners. And by the way, I have quite a few great interviews set up, and a couple of daytrips I’m doing, but if you have someone who you think I should be interviewing, let me know, Send me an email at pvtravelshow@gmail.com or Puertovallartatravelshow@gmail.com, and I will do my best to bring you that interview. How Do You Read an ATM Touch Screen in Spanish? I got a message from my buddy Marty. And Marty has tried to use the ATM machines in Vallarta but is a little concerned because the touch screen is in Spanish and it confuses him a little bit. So, he asked me if I can help and yes Marty, when I get in town, I will take screenshots of the whole process. I’ll even use a variety of bank machines, so everyone can see the whole process, and I’ll bring that to you in the coming weeks complete with screenshots and arrows and all that jazz, so Marty, great idea. I’ll let you know when I have all that for you. Barry's Flying to Puerto Vallarta May 6th [caption id="attachment_2972" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Southwest Airlines to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] So, I made my reservations on Southwest Airlines out of LAX. It was $264.00 round trip. It’ a great price and you can take a second piece of luggage free. If you need it that is. I hope they can keep the service running but the last few times I’ve flown Southwest, the plane was only half to three quarters full. Anyway, I also reserved my Airbnb and I did things a little different. I actually chose one that had no reviews. The pictures look good. It’s a new [caption id="attachment_2974" align="alignright" width="300"] The Cross above Puerto Vallarta[/caption] listing. It’s up on the hill downtown like above Calle Allende, Up on the way to the cross. It had air conditioning which is a must in May, a pool and a killer view of the bay from the pool area and the rooftop. So, we’ll see. I got the place for $32 US per night, and that included cleaning fees and taxes and all that jazz, so I will report back, but so far, for round trip air, and 9 nights at the b & b, I’m in for $ 552.00 US. Not bad. How to Protect From Being a Victim of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Mexico When I was looking over these Airbnb listings I noticed how few of these places have CO detectors and smoke alarms. I don’t know if you heard the story of the family in Playa Del Carmen who died due to carbon monoxide poisoning they concluded, right? [caption id="attachment_2967" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Carbon Monoxide Detectors For Condos in Mexico[/caption] Here’s the story from The Washington Post Dated March 25th, Autopsies concluded an Iowa couple and their two children found dead inside their rented Mexico condo were victims of toxic gas inhalation, Mexican authorities said Saturday, and they reiterated no signs indicate foul play. The Quintana Roo state prosecutor’s office said all four family members staying on the Caribbean coast in Tulum were killed by asphyxiation, and that “any violent act or suicide has been discounted.” Kevin Wayne Sharp, 41, his wife, Amy Marie Sharp, 38, and their children Sterling Wayne Sharp, 12, and Adrianna Marie Sharp, 7, were found dead inside the condo, Mexican authorities confirmed Friday. Photos published by the prosecutor’s office show firemen in respirators and other authorities in anti-contamination suits examining gas connections and the unit’s oven. The Sharp family appeared to be dead for 36 to 48 hours when they were discovered, the office said. The family had been reported missing by their immediate family members early Friday morning to police in Creston, Iowa, which is located about 70 miles southwest of Des Moines. Kevin and Amy Sharp informed their family members in Iowa that they had arrived safely at their vacation condominium on March 15. I have a link to that story in the show notes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/03/23/police-confirm-iowa-family-of-four-found-dead-in-mexico-condo/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4a485a121c16 So that is a sad story for sure, and when you see their pictures, it’s really heartbreaking. So, what do we do to protect ourselves from this happening to one of us? The truth is, where I live in Southern California, a carbon monoxide detector is required in a home that I sell. Not everyone has one. But it is a requirement if you sell your home, or if you are a landlord. The last time I was in town, I’m sure I had a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning moment. I was staying in an apartment that I have rented before, Airbnb, and I knew this place had a certain rotten egg smell emitting from the drains from time to time. When we got there, Jose, the owner noticed the strong odor when he opened the place up, so he opened all the windows and aired it out. The next morning, when I got up, I went to stand up, and almost fell down. I was having a tough time focusing my eyes and standing up straight. I opened up some windows to get some fresh air, and then I started feeling like I needed to throw up, so I dry heaved for about 3 minutes. I mean, it didn’t make any sense. I hadn’t been drinking, I had a wonderful meal at Florios the night before, it was weird. But as I started to get more fresh air into the apartment, the better I started to feel. But wow, I’m pretty sure that happened to me. Later that day, when I was on the beach interviewing people in front of Cuates y Cuetes, I got a call from Jose asking if he could let a workman in to change out a gas valve. Hummm. I told him what happened, and suggested he get a CO detector. So, anyway, I’m not taking any chances. This time I’m bringing my own CO detector. $20 bucks. Done. Have you stayed in a place like that? You know, with the sewer smells coming up the drain pipes? I have more than once in Vallarta. So you be careful in these condos and Airbnbs. They are not required equipment. Down Vallarta BMX Bike Race is Back Down Vallarta will be returning to town, it’s all happening May 13 at 4:30 and they are going to be racing right past my bnb I believe. I’ll let you know. But it’s the BMX Dirt Bike race downhill, from the Cross on the hill above Downtown, down, to the Malecon. I have video of last year’s event in the show notes so check it out in the show notes or if you are in town. Catch the event. It’s free. And we like free. Okay we need to get on with this week’s show.

These are places where good home cooking is dished out with a smile, English is spoken, a place where you walk in and see the person in charge actually working the floor. A place where you [caption id="attachment_2941" align="alignright" width="278"] Tammy Carruthers Prust, Nacho Daddy. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] are encouraged get together with a whole group of friends and have a group poker night, or a trivia night, listen to live music, hold charity events that everyone can get behind. A place that an expat can feel like it’s homey. It’s a safe place. A good, feel a karmic location. When I walked in to Nacho Daddy the morning of the interview, Sean and Tammy were wrapping things up, clearing off tables, serving beverages topping off coffee for a group of expats, there must have been 20 or 30 of them, and they were playing Bunco. You know what bunco is, it’s a dice game. They were all having a great time and well, it looked like it was the place to be, if you lived in Paradise, and you wanted to have comradery with your fellow Canadian or American Expat. [caption id="attachment_2937" align="alignleft" width="300"] Sean Moore, Nacho Daddy, Puerto Vallarta[/caption] So, I set up my microphone in the back of the restaurant, a very nice roomy space with a bar up front, a dance floor in the back and a kitchen in the very back that you can look right into. Comfortable seating, nice rustic décor, Clean bathrooms, just a real comfortable spot Like a Cheers for sure. Finally, Tammy and Sean get a chance to break avaw for a few minutes to talk with us so let’s go right now to Basilio Badillo 287, in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood on the Southside of Puerto Vallarta and meet Sean Moore, and Tammy Carruthers Prust at Nacho Daddy...

I first met Catherine on my very first business trip so to speak in Vallarta. I was recording my first interviews and the show was in the infancy stages. I was sitting in Una Familia Restaurant on Libertad, having lunch and Catherine came in and sat down at a table near mine with her doggie, and after a time we struck up a conversation. She talked about the Boutique Theater, and I told her a little about my podcast. I love theater so, well, I do get some of you wondering why I do so many interviews of entertainment venues, it’s because I was really involved in the theater arts in high school. I went to school with folks like Kevin Spacey, of course back then, he was Kevin Fowler. I think his middle name was Spacey, but yet I digress. Mare Winningham, April Winchell, Clint Howard. I mean, it was brutal competing in a LAUSD, Los Angeles Unified School District Drama Festival those days let me tell you. I mean, if you were competing against Kevin Fowler, I mean Spacey in a serious monologue category? Ha! Yes, he was that good way back then folks. But seriously, I loved to get in front of people and perform. When I didn’t make the Taft High Men’s Volleyball Varsity team, one of my buddies said to me, Kessler, forget regular P.E., they need guys to lift girls in Dance Production. You have to wear a leotard, but all you need to do is lift chicks. Well, I was all in, right? [caption id="attachment_2938" align="alignright" width="300"] Kitchen, Nacho Daddy, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] So yeah, I’m in to the arts, sorry guys. Anyway, when I saw that Catherine was doing TED Talks at the Boutique Theater, I thought, you know, we talk about people dumping their life in the states for a simpler life in paradise, and Catherine is living the life that I really secretly wish I was living. I’ll just live vicariously through her. Let me show you what I’m talking about. Let’s go to the sand, on a couple of lounge chairs in from to Langostino’s on Playa Los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta, and lets meet my friend, and soon to be yours, Catherine Caldera.
