Sometime during the early morning hours of Wed, Jan. 5th, a huge tree fell from the hillside, blocking the road leading to Los Muertos beach from calle Caracol. The tree's roots were completely rotted and it was a blessing that it happened when no one was walking there, as it is a well-used road to the beach, also accessible by car. The debris was removed by Thursday morning and the road is once again accessible.

Thursday, January 6th was Día de Reyes, or Kings Day, in Mexico. Twelve days after Christmas, this is also known as Epiphany on the church calendar, the day when the Magi arrived bearing gifts for the baby Jesus. This is traditionally the day when Mexican children receive small gifts such as chocolates or money, but in recent years the trend has been to adopt the gift-giving custom of Santa on Dec. 25th.  More >

Take a visual trip around the world and visit the premier of a must-see photography exhibition entitled "Road Stories / Historias Del Camino", by Craig Stanman. Taking place at Haus Der Kunst in Puerto Vallarta on January 8th, the show is a truly rich textural experience that exposes over 40 years of life on the road...  from the Hippy Trail of the early 70's, to the new millennium, Craig seamlessly merges several decades of vision with a timeless but contemporary style.

Impressive large scale prints depict a unique perspective that speaks to the importance of adventure, passion, cultural diversity, and creativity in one's life. Craig Stanman's rare images explore countries including Afghanistan, Mexico, Peru, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bali, and China.

  Hibiscus in Sayulita

One of the most succulent, sensual flowers of the tropics is the showy red hibiscus. Whether seen in Hawaii, the Caribbean, or other tropical environments, the hibiscus is synonymous with the beauty, the lushness, and the relaxed atmosphere of tropical climates. Here in Mexico, it is found in many landscaped gardens. However, a popular drink that is commonly found in any taco stand called "Jamaica" is actually made with the dried calyces of the hibiscus.  More >

Aquí en México, se encuentra en muchos jardines. Sin embargo, una bebida popular que se encuentra comúnmente en cualquier puesto de tacos llamado "Jamaica" se hace realmente con los cálices secos de la flor de jamaica.  Mas >

  Improve Your Spanish - Read Kids' Books!

By Andrea Villarrubia

If you're looking to improve your Spanish skills, reading children's books en español is a great way to expand your vocabulary and language comprehension. Kids' books are generally succinct, clear in their wording, highly descriptive, and accompanied by illustrations that explain what's happening, mas o menos. Bilingual books, with text in both Spanish and English, make it easy to "look up" unknown words, but with some basic Spanish knowledge and the context of story and pictures, even a Spanish-only kid's book is generally grasp-able.

Usually my husband is the one to write about surfing, but after being on the beach this week, I was astounded by how many people had nice soft top beginner surfboards (actually, I was astounded by how many people there were on the beach, period.) Luckily, the waves haven't been very big--much to the real surfers sorrow--so it's been okay when 30 or more beginners with boards get into the water all at the same time. It looked like everyone was having a good time, even if they just sat on the boards.

Por lo general es mi esposo quien escribe sobre el surf, pero despues de estar en la playa esta semana me sorprendi cuando vi tanta gente con tablas de "softtop" para principiantes (la verdad es que me sorprendi al ver tanta gente en la playa y punto.) Por suerte, las olas no han sido tan grandes, lastima para los surfistas con experiencia, asi que esta bien cuando hay 30 o mas principiantes con tablas entran al agua al mismo tiempo. Parecia que todos se dirvirtian, aun cuando solo estaban sentados en las tablas.
