Originally Gaetan was the Director of Events for the Gallery of Amazing Things, considered one of South Florida's premier event spaces. After more than a decade, and after more than a thousand weddings, bar mitzvahs, Quinceaneras, and even funerals, the venue closed it's doors to become something else.

Plus, Fresno’s Southeast Asian community is playing a pivotal role in the new $38 million exhibit under construction at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. And why racism is a public health crisis.

Another Tuesday, another Shuffle! We escaped the garage this week to get away from the heat and shuffle in comfort...nice. We also have a "special" guest, we couldn't score our #1 fan but we do have #2 fan in studio. We kick it off with a conversation about our day, which included breakfast, golf, and some pendejadas. Then we talk discuss our guest a little bit and his slightly different experience in life as a lighter shade of brown. Somehow that leads to a dialogue about the "why" of Quinceaneras, which in turn turns into a deliberation about the age of adulthood. That involves a round on voting bs. Shuffle time... time to discuss the sex talk that most of didn't get. Intertwined are topics such as: someone not understanding how hashtags work and skynet. This actually has a solid segue to a discourse about social media in regards to fake news. Of course, somehow, this leads to some wood in someone's mouth and the trauma. Yeah... that wraps it up.

Subscribe on iTunes & Leave a Good Review Listen to the Podcast! [caption id="attachment_1202" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Los Arcos Hotel Restaurant[/caption] 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 in the entire world and maybe even yours, that’s Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of La Palapa, The El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] El Dorado transforms into The Vista Grill. That’s the Vista Grill that used to be up on the hill, well now it has a new vista and that is right on Los Muertos Beach in the Romantic Zone, on the Southside, with a dramatic view of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. You will be able to dine on the same Vista Grill Menu, and receive that fantastic Vista Grill service. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! So let’s see what’s happening this week, the 8th of August, 2017 in our favorite little paradise, Puerto Vallarta. A Jalisco Municipality Fights Noise Pollution [caption id="attachment_1236" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Noise Abatement in Jalisco, Mexico[/caption] If you have ever spent time in a real Mexican neighborhood, you may have noticed that they can be really noisy places, at all times of the day or night in fact. You can be sleeping soundly at let’s say 3:30 in the morning, when all of a sudden out of the blue, banda music comes blaring through your open window. And it’s not like, oops, I turned on my stereo and the knob was turned way up by accident. It’s more like, the knob is turned all the way to high… and it’s like stuck there. Then, the party just keeps going, and going until 5 AM. Wedding celebrations, Quinceaneras, birthdays, Ground Hog Day, Mother’s Day, you name it. It can get loud. Well a state lawmaker in Jalisco is attempting to pass anti-noise legislation. Here’s an article written in Mexico News Daily, An anti-noise campaign that began in June in Zapopan, Jalisco, has so far resulted in the permanent closure of 35 businesses that exceeded noise limits established by the municipality. Another nine have been fined, as well as the owner of a noisy house. The administration of Mayor Jesús Pablo Lemus Navarro reports that given the number of commercial establishments located in the neighborhood of Chapalita, that part of the city is by far the worst in terms of noise pollution. Not only are the noise emissions of commercial establishments more tightly regulated, but the mayor has announced that his administration will also attempt to regulate the use of fireworks in religious and private celebrations, another major contributor to excessive noise. Well, we will just have to see if this becomes a trend in Mexico. I would kind of miss the charm of that boombox blasting the favorite tunes of my next door neighbor at 1 in the morning. I mean, he’s not doing that for himself, he’s doing that for me, so I can gear what fantastic taste in music this muchacho has. I mean, I should be thanking him for the pleasure and the honor of being exposed to his favorite beat. Fantastico! Gracias! Vamos a ver. We’ll see. I have a link to the article in my show notes of the show, episode 31. Link to the Mexico News Daily Article The Release of The True Story About the Making of The Night of the Iguana Back in February I had an interview with Howard Johns, who was writing a book called The True Story About the Making of The Night of the [caption id="attachment_208" align="alignright" width="251"] Howard Johns, Author[/caption] Iguana. We talked about his upcoming book and low and behold, the book came out this week. So let me just slide back a couple of months and go back and remind ourselves about what Howard had to say about his book….So, now it’s here and if you would like a copy, go to my website and you will find the link to order his book, or you can go back to the February 26th podcast and listen to the entire interview, then buy the book. Go to puertovallartatravelshow.com episode 31 for the show notes and the links to everything I talk about, and the things that my guests talk about too. And speaking of guests. Click Here to Buy Your Copy of A Stolen Paradise An Interview with Jeff Bassett of Sun Sport Travel I received an email from a listener, Jeff Bassett, and he told me that he liked the show, but he also told me that he was in the travel industry as [caption id="attachment_1200" align="alignright" width="225"] Jeff Bassett in His Tourist Garb[/caption] aside job, and that he was going to be heading to Vallarta in the low season, during the hot humid weather experienced in the tropics during the summer months. June through October to be more precise. It’s when we get heat, humidity and rain in the evenings to cool everything down. Well, I invited Jeff to come on the show and tell us what he and his wife did in the summer heat, during the low season in Paradise. So let’s go to Colorado Springs, Colorado, and talk with my buddy Jeff Bassett… Listen To The Podcast Jeff is an Insurance Claims Adjuster and Travel Agent First experience in Vallarta was A Carnival cruise with an overnight stay in PV with a full day and a half stop.

And more... Limited Time Magic Menu No Food and Wine Festival at DCA this year, so instead Disney is offering a special selection of food at various locations around the resort. They've invited celebrity chef Andrew Zimmerman to consult on the menus. If you don't know who Andrew Zimmerman is, he's the host of a television show called Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. He is also a James Beard Award winner. This award is similar to winning an Oscar for movies. Anyhow, he's been hired to create exotic dishes with a special emphasis on Global Cuisine. Since Andrew's show on Travel Channel takes him to remote destinations, they asked him to provide insight into authentic native cuisines from various countries all across the world. The dishes that will be offered are influenced by actual recipes he discovered during his travels. Cafe Orleans and Blue Bayou – Mama Odie's Voodoo Gumbo and JuJu Fries (U.S. Cajun) Chef's are creating a unique gumbo recipe that will include real alligator and possum meat. Both animals are indigenous to that area of the country, which makes this very unique. They're combining the alligator and possum meat with a wild boar italian sausage. It'll be created with standard gumbo ingredients such as tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, okra, garlic, and various cajun spices. The JuJu Fries is actually Cajun Snake Fry. The snake meat is marinated in a mix of whole milk and garlic juice to remove the gamey flavor. Then it's seasoned with paprika, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, and black pepper. The meat is finally coated with a blend of flour, rosemary, white pepper, and oregano before it goes into the deep fryer. Rancho Del Zocalo – Three Caballeros Stew (Mexico + Latin America) The stew is named Three Caballeros because it contains three different types of meat including beef tongue (lengua), tripe (like Menudo, it's cow's stomach lining) and iguana. Iguanas are considered a delicacy in Mexico and throughout Central and South America. It compares to chicken, but more tender. The three meats are cooked using a variety of ingredients including carrots, onions, tomatoes and cabbage. It will come with tortillas and a papaya salsa on the side. Award Wieners – Iron Man Sausage (China and other parts of Asia) In keeping with the traditions of creating hot dogs with a movie tie-in, Disney is developing a special concoction for Iron Man 3, which is set to be release May 3rd. It's a Blood Sausage made with pig's blood mixed with sweet rice, vermicelli, pork shoulder, and pork liver. Blood contains a lot of Iron, so that's how it got it's name. To go along with the food, they're also offering a drink called Mandarin's Mad Cocktail (Mandarin is Tony Stark's nemesis in the movie). The elixir is made with 3 parts Zinfandel red wine with 1 part pig's blood and topped with a frothy goat's milk foam. Village Haus Restaurant – The Monstro Sandwich (Northern Europe) Pinocchio and Geppeto get their revenge on Monstro the Whale. Disney will be releasing a limited time sandwich featuring Baked Whale on Focaccia Bread. The meat has been imported from Norway and is prepared with red wine, garlic, onions, salt and peppercorns. It's topped with a white wine vinaigrette and radicchio lettuce served on an herb-infused Focaccia Bread roll. Bengal Barbecue – Indy Going Bananas (India) The Bengal Barbecue will be offering a new dessert item on their menu. In honor of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, chef's have recreated the most iconic dish in the movie - Chilled Monkey Brains. They received special permission from the Anaheim Health Department to serve this specialty item. Because a monkey's diet consists of mostly fruits, the flesh is slightly on the sweet side. However, to enhance the sweetness further, they've included some native Indian delicacies like mango, lychee, and ambarella. Fried bananas will be served on the side. Disney is going to be offering this Limited Time Menu beginning May 1st and it lasts throughout the entire month. Tip of the Week IPad Photography tips!
