Livin' La Vida San Pancho...
This week we were treated to a delightful evening of dance performance put on for the  benefit of Entreamigos by Circo de Los Niños at the Dance Bodega. The event featured more than 40 local artists from Circo de Los Ninos youth  hip hop and children ballet class, Hindu dance, the Folkloric Group of San Pancho and a tribute to Pina Bausch by the Dance Theater Adult group. We are so fortunate to live in a village filled with so many incredibly talented people.
 Thanks to all the dancers and performers who wowed us with their talents and everyone who worked to put on this spectacular show for us.
Bravo!!!

San Pancho Music Festival!
|
|
Greetings Music Fans!
Well, the 2016 San Pancho Music Festival is now only days away and we're already excited at the amazing lineup that we have this year! Please see the schedule below.
We're doing a few things a bit differently this year, and we're also doing a few things the same as the past couple of years, because they've proven to be popular with the audience. For one, we will be incorporating the second stage again, which allows us to provide non-stop entertainment each night by alternating between the many great acts that we have lined up on both stages.
What's different this year is that we have divided the nights into different musical genres.

Who let the dogs out?
When we first got here to MEXICO 10 Years ago I noticed a real overly populated mangy dog population everywhere roaming the streets in all the villages along the ocean up the coast from Puerto Vallarta. Most of the dogs looked pretty much the same, small white dogs about a foot and a half tall that had turned brown and black from the sandy streets. It seems as though someone might have came and dropped off about five dozen of the same looking dogs to each village up the coast then left (laughing).
Dogs here sleep in the streets and will not move when you drive down the streets in your car. I think it's, because they party all night staying awake barking and running all over town and down to the beach and by morning they are exhausted. At the beach they act just like the tourists, as they are everywhere playing and swimming in the ocean and they are having a blast.
I kind of like the idea of a free for all dog World. We came from such an uptight dog world in the U.S. It is so different here than in the states where soon in the U.S. they will probably pass new laws where you will have to have your dog on a leash even in your living room. Now that I have been here for a bunch of years things have changed. The dogs still run wild and it seems as though each and every person in the villages joined in and got one or two new breeds of dogs for themselves, but I will say it seems that every dog has an owner.
 Lately our neighborhood has started to look like a summer spa retreat for dogs of every breed, as there are dogs everywhere. They are really not bothering anyone. I can't help it I just get a little irritated with all the barking. Sometimes the dogs have a bark fest, usually at night. I'm really not sure what they bark about, but they must be having fun. We have a very little tiny dog a few doors down that knows when the other big dogs that live right around Roberto's Bungalow's are locked in, because she comes around and taunts them through the gates and windows and up on their balcony's with her little squeaky bark and then all hell breaks loose, as she is having the time of her life.
Two huge dogs moved in next door. I think one day I looked over on their deck and I saw both dogs standing on their back legs walking around barking into megaphones pointed right at me. If I'm not mistaken I think they bark at every person that goes by and every leaf that falls from the trees and we live in the jungle.
Many nights you will find me on my front deck right out over the street below in my underpants half asleep with a flashlight pointed at the dogs. Someone told me dog's don't like bright light, so I bought one that was supposed to be 180 times brighter than any flashlight on the market. It's bright enough to see from my deck to the end of town, or maybe even all the way to Russia, so when the barking gets out of control I point it at the dogs next door and one goes and lays down (good dog) and the other looks at me and barks even louder and I think I can see him laughing at me.
But I'm just going to go with the flow. I love dogs even more than I like humans. I'm just going to look at it as real loud bad polka music..... I love my Mexico

Tailwinds Kayaking Tours
 One of the new business signups on San Pancho Life is Tailwinds Kayaking Tours. Tamara Jacobi generously offered to take us on one of her tours so we could tell others about the tour. Of course, we were thrilled to take her up on it. We followed her up to Los Ayala, where the muffler on our old Jeep "Diego" partially fell off and dragged down the road announcing our arrival, sparks trailing behind us! Los Ayala is a rustic  Mexican town just 20 minutes north from San Pancho. It's a super easy place to set off in a kayak, as the beach is gentle and the water calm. The kayak tour is as described on their page in San Pancho Life. Kayaking really is the best way to explore this spectacular coastline. It was an easy paddle so we can attest that it is perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels. We stopped and swam at the 'secret beach' and enjoyed miles of wild jungle coastline while the birds swooped in to take a closer look at us - it was certainly Tropical Bliss!
