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 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 [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] 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! Today we will be talking with two great couples who are working shoulder to shoulder building businesses here in Paradise, but before we get to them let’s see what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 4th of October, 2017. Rain, Rain and more rain in Puerto Vallarta The rainy season has been wet all right. Still getting lots of rain in Puerto Vallarta with above average rainfall this year, and the locals are getting restless for things to dry out around here. Remember, it’s hot and humid with afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Gullywashers to be more exact. Things will begin to get better as the rainfall will begin to taper off this month and then less rain again in November, then it’s off to the winter dry season during the high season. Successful Fundraiser at Act II [embed]https://youtu.be/_S_PjUZoORI[/embed] Last week I talked about the many fundraisers around Vallarta in support of Mexico Earthquake relief, and I told you about the event being planned over at Act 2, Danny Minnini’s place in the romantic zone. Well, they had entertainment by Paul Fracassi, Diana Valeria Villamonte , Gabe Arciniega, TRINITY, Cesar Medina, Alfonso López, Elvis Morales, Joby Hernández and many more. There was art by Francine Peters, a famous Vallarta Artist that fetched a pretty penny, thanks Francine, you are great, so many silent auction items and gift certificates. They are still totaling it all up and here’s what Danny says, We are still collecting and adding up the totals, but we think we are between 250,000 and 300,000 pesos. We sold it out because we had 39 reservations not show up. 57,000 in ticket sales. Thank you, everyone. [caption id="attachment_1634" align="aligncenter" width="772"] Music For Mexico Earthquake Relief[/caption] So what is that like 15 to $17,000 US. Dude! That’s a lot of dough. Great job to all the folks that made that happen and as I promised, we are going to have an episode with Danny really soon, to discuss the upcoming season, so stay tuned for that. [caption id="attachment_1346" align="alignright" width="300"] Act II Stages[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1366" align="alignleft" width="340"] Danny Mininni[/caption] Meetup As I announced last week, I’m planning another meet and greet at Kelly’s Pour Favor Cookhouse and Saloon in a couple of weeks at JR’s Meet and Greet, Tuesday, October 17th from 6:30 till whenever.

Just remember that this show is rated as clean in iTunes so I have the right to bleep you out, or at least your profanities. I think I told you about the last meet and greet.

Donate to Tile Park [caption id="attachment_1610" align="aligncenter" width="1077"] Donate to Tile Park PV[/caption] My friend Nancy Page works with Natasha Moraga who is going to be tiling Lazaro Cardenas Park. And Nancy announced The public launch of the fundraising for the park and it starts like this….”Natasha Moraga and Mosayko Vallarta are one of the most recognized names in the Puerto Vallarta Art Community with her signature mosaic style. She has just begun her dream project with her brother Daniel Moraga, creating another internationally recognized icon in Puerto Vallarta: El Parque de los Azulejos / Tile Park PV. Nancy shared more information regarding fundraising for the park…”Sponsorship tiles are available to purchase to leave your mark in this captivating piece of public art.

Make your mark in Puerto Vallarta. Let’s get on with the show. [caption id="attachment_1679" align="alignleft" width="190"] Todd & Kathleen Atkins, Lix and Xocodiva in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] I have two interviews with two American Couples, making a go at running a business in Puerto Vallarta. The first couple, Kathleen and Todd were looking to retire in Puerto Vallarta, and couldn’t sit still, so they became business owners and entrepreneurs. They create and sell what some would consider a staple and that is Ice Cream and chocolates. The second couple, Miranda and Reid, are a younger couple who are starting their first business, looking to make their mark brewing and serving what some would consider a staple as well, and that is Beer. The first interview today is with Kathleen and Todd Atkins. I’m going to let them tell their stories. They are the new owners and operators of two businesses, Lix Ice Cream Shop, and Xocodiva Artisan Chocolate, both sweet spots, loved by so many locals and visitors. So let’s visit with these two lovely people and hear their stories, Kathleen and Todd Atkins. [caption id="attachment_1687" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Xocodiva Chocolate, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Our Next Interview is with Miranda and Reid I first met Reid and Miranda at the Meet and Greet back in May. That’s the meet and greet [caption id="attachment_1678" align="alignright" width="300"] Monzon Brewery with Miranda and Reid Mortimer[/caption] where half of the interviews were not good for human consumption, but the conversation with Reid and Miranda was not a drunken one, although if you remember the interview with the PV Kid Jeff Musto that I had at the same meet and greet, there was a barking dog in the background, that was theirs. During that week, I would bump into them walking along the Malecon, or at a restaurant. Anyway, this young couple was opening a brewery on the southside of town and wanted to tell us about their new place. The name of the brewery is Monzon which means Monsoon in Spanish. So after this clip, we will [caption id="attachment_1692" align="alignleft" width="239"] Manzon Brewery, Puerto Vallarta[/caption] go back to Vallarta, and see how they are doing. But first let’s get to Reid and Miranda, owners and operators at Monzon Brewing Company, six months ago, at the Meet and Greet at Kelly’s Pour Favor, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

An interview with listeners Reggie and Donna Belew From Tennessee who tell us about their vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Also Puerto Vallarta Businesses Step Up to Support Mexico Earthquake Relief. Also more about Tile Park Puerto Vallarta. 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 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 [caption id="attachment_196" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] 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! Today we will be talking with two great guests, listeners Reggie and Donna Belew from Tennessee, but before we get to them let's see what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 26th of September, 2017. Last Tuesday morning, as I was recording the last episode of the podcast, Mexico was hit with its second major earthquake in twelve days. An earthquake with a magnitude estimated to be 7.1 hit approximately 55 km (34 mi) south of the city of Puebla. It caused major damage in the Mexican states of Puebla, Morelos and the Greater Mexico City area, including the collapse of more than forty buildings; and although Mexico's SASMEX earthquake warning system provided 20 seconds' advance warning in Mexico City, 310 people have been reported killed, 273 of which in Mexico City and surrounding areas, and more than 4,600 were injured. Rescue missions are still underway as I speak. As I said, there had been an even larger earthquake 650 km (400 mi) away off the coast of the state of Chiapas twelve days earlier. [caption id="attachment_1634" align="alignright" width="253"] Music For Mexico Earthquake Relief[/caption] And although Puerto Vallarta didn’t feel either shake, these earthquakes are devastating for Mexico. Earthquakes happen so fast, and are notorious not only for the death and injuries and fear they strike in people, but also for making people homeless and jobless, destroying homes and businesses. Well, I’ve got to tell you, there are a lot of people in Mexico right now who need our help. There are also quite a number of businesses and individuals in Puerto Vallarta who have teamed up to raise funds for earthquake relief. Manzon Brewery had a fundraiser, Incanto had one, They are having a show and silent auction at Act 2 on October 1st, so if you are in town, go check it out. Lots of great items being auctioned off as well as some great entertainment. I’ll even have an item in the silent auction, an opportunity to have your very own podcast episode dedicated to an individual or even a business in Puerto Vallarta, so if you are interested in having your very own episode, be the highest bidder. If you’re in town, You have to go to that as I said, if you are in town [caption id="attachment_1635" align="alignleft" width="300"] PV Mexico Quake Relief[/caption] And it’s so great to see the people of Vallarta stepping up for a great cause. And if you do choose to give to the Mexican Earthquake Relief effort, be careful who you donate to and who you donate through. Do your homework, and know that it’s not always the big name charities that do the best work for the lowest overhead, so talk to friends, check out these charities on the internet. [caption id="attachment_1534" align="alignright" width="300"] Natasha Moraga[/caption] Now we all know that timing is everything, and if you listened to last week’s podcast, I announced a very special project that I’ve got to tell you, got me and many of you really excited. It was the Tile Park project, the Parque de los Azulejos, in Lazaro Cardenes Park. The project is being done by the same person who did the tile wall on the Southside and in the Marina and elsewhere, Natasha Moraga. Well, last week, I announced to you that you could donate to her project, and I gave you instructions on how you could purchase commemorative tiles to be installed in Lazaro Cardenes Park, the money from those purchases, would go to help fund the project? Remember? How can you forget? I even built a donate page on the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show website. Okay so this earthquake hits, just as the project was going to begin their fundraising efforts, so timing is everything, as I said. [caption id="attachment_1610" align="alignright" width="300"] Donate to Tile Park PV[/caption] Natasha and her people were planning on quite a few fundraising events for their project, but they are also keenly aware of the great need for money to help rebuild and uplift so many effected by these terrible earthquakes. And as I just said, there are numerous events being planned for earthquake relief right here in Vallarta. So, Natasha asked me to let you know that many of the planned fundraising public events will probably wait till probably after the first of the year, just so efforts to help with earthquake relief can proceed in earnest. And I understand her sentiments, but I just don’t want her project to get lost in the shuffle so to speak. Trying not to sound too insensitive here, I think we can think of giving to both the Tile Park project and to earthquake relief, so I’m going to keep pushing and promoting this project, El Parque de Los Azulejos. Listen folks, they are not self-funded and need the money from tile sales, personalized tile sales, to move this project forward. They need to sell commemorative tiles to help fund this project so go to the show notes to last weeks podcast as well as this one, and check out this beautiful park, Lazaro Cardenes Park, all done in beautiful mosaic tiles. [caption id="attachment_1535" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Art Rendering Parque de Azulejos[/caption] Nat Moraga still has promised to sit with me for an interview soon, so will get that to you soon, and I’ll let you know when. As for these nasty earthquakes, these terremotos as they are called in Spanish, these Tremblors, I can definitely relate to these poor folks, I was [caption id="attachment_1538" align="alignright" width="300"] Art Rendering Parque de Azulejos[/caption] born and raised in Los Angeles, and I have lived through several major earthquakes, the latest big one, the Northridge Quake’s epicenter was not more than a ¼ mile from my home in the San Fernando Valley, and that was a 6.8. I’m telling you what, the aftershocks are what keep you up. They can be pretty frightening. Interestingly enough, Tuesday’s quake occurred on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, which killed about 10,000 people, which was by the way, commemorated with a national earthquake drill at 11 a.m. local time, two hours before this earthquake struck. Kinda weird don’t you think? [caption id="attachment_1633" align="aligncenter" width="404"] Meet and Greet at Pour Favor[/caption] I’m planning a meet and greet in Puerto Vallarta for Tuesday, October the 17th at JR’s meeting place, Kelly’s Pour Favor Saloon and Cookhouse. He doesn’t know this yet, but I’m going to bring my microphones with me again, and have you tell me about what you are doing in paradise. And if you are a business and you want to make a pitch to my audience, you are more than welcome. I just have to lock down my airfare and I will be there. Guess I better tell my wife. Hummm. Yeah that would be best. See you there. Okay, let’s get to the show and our guests, Reggie and Donna. [caption id="attachment_1638" align="alignleft" width="300"] Reggie & Donna Belew[/caption] I’ve got to say that my most popular podcast episodes are the ones with you listeners telling your stories and giving suggestions, so I’m pretty sure you are going to like my two guests. I love their accents, but hey, I’m from California and we have no accents, least that’s what I’ve been told. Reggie gave me a good review on iTunes and after I mentioned him on one of my podcasts and read his review, he followed up with an email. And it went like this… "My first visit to Puerto Vallarta was in May 1989. I was 20 years old. And I had only had two semesters of Spanish language classes in my then young lifetime. A college buddy and myself drove over 2,000 miles (one way) from Florence Alabama to Puerto Vallarta. It took four days. And we only stayed a week. But oh my that changed my life. In 1990 I studied at the University of Guadalajara. I was able to visit Puerto Vallarta three times that year. And I traveled around Jalisco including trips to Barra de Navidad, Ameca and Tequila that summer." He also writes that he met JR on his last trip down… So I had to have Reggie on the show. His experiences, going to school in Guadalajara mirrored my own college Spanish experiences as well. When I was going to San Diego State University in 1978, I was given the opportunity to take a 6 week course in Mexico City and get a semester’s college credit for Spanish, so naturally I took advantage of it. It was a wonderful experience. I was totally immersed in the language. We lived with Mexican families, we went to class every day at 9. The Americans learning Spanish upstairs, and the Mexicans learning English downstairs. Then at noon, we dispersed and wen our own ways. I, usually with a hot Latina, and her friend…and her brother..ugh.. from class downstairs, and do stuff get totally immersed in the culture and in the language. [caption id="attachment_1626" align="alignleft" width="534"] Casa Isabel, Puerto Vallarta[/caption] By the time the 6 weeks were up, I was dreaming in Spanish, with English Subtitles.. No Lie! So Reggie did the same thing, only his university had a deal with a place in Guadalajara. Got to say, those were the greatest times. Listen To The Podcast Anyway, let’s get to Reggie and Donna and hear their stories… Gill Givens Books Vallarta's Funniest Man JR's Happy Hour Board [caption id="attachment_1655" align="alignleft" width="300"] JR s Happy Hour Board[/caption] Restaurants They Liked Cuates y Cuetes La Palapa Freddy's Tucán Things to See and Do Xamie Ximenez the mouth painter at the arches across from the city plaza Puerto Vallarta City Tourism Office offers a walking tour free Tours to the Bell Tower at Our Lady of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Puerto Vallarta By the Rosary Bead Man Gary Thompson Sculpture Tour Print out J R's Maps Roam the Cuale Island Gringo Gulch Don't Forget Take good walking shoes Sunscreen Don't be afraid to try to communicate.

That idea of laminating a map and directions to your hotel or condo is absolutely brilliant. Also the free city tour is a great idea. Splurge and treat yourself to a serenade.

His experience and on the ground knowledge of everything Puerto Vallarta in exchange for your making a purchase of a tour that you would do anyway, you’re just doing it through him as a way of saying thank you. It costs no more than if you were to use someone else so do it. Really. And when you do take one of these tours, email me about your experiences.

After, a much appreciated, positive response from the raza... we carry on into episode 3. Just as everyone gets a little more comfortable behind the mic, the world is supposed to end...WTF. Luckily, the end times were rescheduled... the show goes on. We do a quick pass on how men should be treating their women and somehow, don't ask how, that segues into an all star softball moment. We discuss the disasters that are wrecking havoc and destroying people's lives. This leads to some heavy topics, yeah we don't shy away. We get into the disaster that is our president and of course that leads us to a talk about racism. Yeah... it gets deep. And you know where this is going end up... it's the end of the world! All this heavy discussion takes us to another obvious place, Halloween stories and someone being haunted. Thrown in for good measure, some stories from a trip to Peru. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… Btw... Let's take a moment and talk about something very real... There have been a lot of disasters in the passed few weeks, including the most recent earthquake in Mexico with approx 300+ lives lost (currently) and many more still buried in the rubble.
