I\u2019ll be doing my next couple episodes from here.\u2026.I\u2019ll get back to all that in a few. Let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s happening on the ground in Puerto Vallarta this week, if you are already here, or if you are arriving soon.<\/p>\n<h3>Celebrate Mexican Independence Day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/h3>\n<p>First of all, Mexican Independence Day is fast approaching, and the new Mayor of Vallarta will be proclaiming Hidalgo\u2019s Grito from the balcony overlooking the Malecon from the Presidencia, the City Hall on the evening of September the 15<sup>th<\/sup>. At Midnight. If you are in town, it\u2019s going to be crowded but you should try to get to the Malecon early to experience the Grito. Mr. Handsom Luis Mungia will not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>And what is this Grito?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1481\" style=\"width: 564px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1481\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Father-Hidalgo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Father-Hidalgo.jpg 564w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Father-Hidalgo-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Father-Hidalgo-490x300.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Father Hidalgo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To explain, let\u2019s go to the encyclopedia Brittanica, the online version, not the stack of dusty books version\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><em>Grito de Dolores, battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain, first uttered by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, parish priest of Dolores (now Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato state), on September 16, 1810.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hidalgo was involved in a plot against the Spanish colonial government, and, when the plot was betrayed, he decided to act immediately. After arming the people, he addressed them from the pulpit, encouraging them to revolt. The exact text of this most famous of all Mexican speeches is not known, and a wide variety of \u201creconstructed\u201d versions have been published, but he may have said, in essence, \u201cLong live Our Lady of Guadalupe [symbol of the Indians\u2019 faith], death to bad government, death to the gachupines [the Spaniards]!\u201d Hidalgo amassed a large popular mob-army, but, after much reckless pillage and bloodshed, the movement was suppressed, and Hidalgo himself was captured; he was later executed, on July 30, 1811. Hidalgo\u2019s \u201ccry\u201d became the cry of independence. In commemoration, each year on the night of September 15\u2014the eve of Mexican Independence Day\u2014the president of the republic shouts a version of \u201cel Grito\u201d from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City: \u201cViva M\u00e9xico! Viva la Independencia! Vivan los h\u00e9roes!\u201d The ceremony is broadcast throughout the country and is repeated in smaller scale in many towns and villages.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I have a link to that article from Encyclopedia Brittanica online, in the show notes. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Grito-de-Dolores<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, at the stroke of Midnight the newly elected Mayor will recite the famous words..<em> \u201cViva M\u00e9xico! Viva la Independencia! Vivan los h\u00e9roes!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Be there for sure, that is, if you can stay up late and all that.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Vallarta does it up big with fireworks, live music from a stage that they set up on the Malecon near the lighthouse. Folkloric dancers, parades. It will be a great time to be in Vallarta for sure.<\/p>\n<h3>Puerto Vallarta Needs Money To Run the City<\/h3>\n<p>The new mayor is going to start his term with very little money in the City coffers. Where did all the money go? Nadie conoce.<\/p>\n<p>And hey, it\u2019s not my place to get involved in the politics of Mexico or Vallarta. I\u2019m just a reporter.<\/p>\n<p>However, the city council is scrambling to work out a way to raise money by raising water rates and property taxes. It\u2019s reported that the council is planning on concentrating on raising taxes on properties in the tourist zones to start with, and on new construction, so brace yourselves for a property tax hike if you own in Versalles, the Zona Romantica Cinco, Conchs Chinas, Amapas, or are buying new construction\u2026.get ready.<\/p>\n<h3>Lots of Rain is Falling in Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re experiencing some good rainfall over the last week. Almost every night, except last night it\u2019s rained pretty heavily raising the levels of the Cuale and Rios Pitillal. In fact, the reservoirs up in Cajon de Pena in Tomatlan are full, and they\u2019ve opened the spillways. The Rio Ameca was looking pretty high as well. In fact, it was early September in 2010 when a section of the Ameca Bridge collapsed during the night, and several cars went in. I\u2019ve told you about the conversation I had with a Taxista, Marcos Joya Rodriguiez, who survived the ordeal by clinging to a tree in the river for about 45 minutes, waiting for help.<\/p>\n<p>So, I hope we won\u2019t have a repeat of that bridge collapsing. But hey, we asked for rain, didn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>I have a YouTube Video in the show notes where you can hear Marcos the taxista tell his story. Look for it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.puertovallartatravelshow.com\">www.puertovallartatravelshow.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TSTP8k0Pw_Q?si=Dxzdu4KzbcttK1WG\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>The Dollar is Making a Comeback Against The Mexican Peso<\/h3>\n<p>All of a sudden, we are seeing the US dollar strengthen against the peso.<\/p>\n<p>When Debra and I were in Vallarta back in May, the exchange rate at the ATM machines was barely 16 pesos to the dollar. Today the 9<sup>th<\/sup> of September it was 19.98 pesos to the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>A huge rebound. So, what\u2019s happening\u2026 why are we seeing this big swing in favor of the US dollar?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see what they are saying about it\u2026apparently it has to do with politics\u2026and proposed judicial reform\u2026this has made leaders in the US and in Canada nervous, and calling for Mexico to put off their plans to reform the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll just read a little bit from this \u00a0Wapo wapo wapo Washington Post article. It\u2019s pretty long but you\u2019ll get the picture\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why everyone is suddenly worried about Mexico\u2019s democracy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>President Andres Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, in his final month in office, is pushing legislation that would send appointed federal judges home and let voters elect their replacements.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>By\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/people\/mary-beth-sheridan\/?itid=ai_top_sheridanmb\">Mary Beth Sheridan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>September 4, 2024 at 11:52 a.m. EDT<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MEXICO CITY \u2014 The lower house of Mexico\u2019s Congress approved a radical reform of the judicial system on Wednesday \u2014 a constitutional amendment that has raised alarms in Washington and in the business community.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Under the new system, voters would choose nearly all the country\u2019s judges, even those on the Supreme Court.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Critics are especially concerned because President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador\u2019s Morena party holds an overwhelming majority in Congress. If voters were to elect judges friendly to Morena, the leftist party would effectively control all three branches of government. That could return Mexico to a one-party state of the kind that ruled for much of the 20th century.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The proposal, passed early Wednesday by Mexico\u2019s House of Deputies, now goes to its Senate, which is also expected to approve it. Here\u2019s what to know about the change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mexican voters would elect Supreme Court justices<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At present, the judicial system itself names most federal judges, based on experience, qualifications and exam results.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If the reform package wins approval, nearly all federal judges will be required to resign in the next three years. Mexican voters would pick new judges from candidates nominated by the presidency, the Congress and the judicial branch. They would choose 1,686 federal judges, including nine Supreme Court justices, in elections next year and in 2027. Another 5,000 state and local judges would also be elected by popular vote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The reform would do away with tenure and experience requirements. It would set nine-year terms for judges.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Critics warn that elected judges could pander to voters<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The reform will likely weaken judicial independence, legal analysts say. Judges who rely on popular support could be tempted to tailor their decisions to please voters, rather than upholding the law impartially.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The article goes on to point out that in the United States, we also elect our judges on the state level, but not federal judges. There\u2019s more to read, but if you like, just follow the link to that Washington Post story in the show notes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2024\/09\/04\/mexico-judicial-reform-democracy-lopez-obrador\/\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2024\/09\/04\/mexico-judicial-reform-democracy-lopez-obrador\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So very interesting. We\u2019ll see if the dollar continues to climb, or if the peso will rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<h3>The Puerto Vallarta Travel Show Moves to Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>As I said earlier, we emptied our home into 4 large suitcases, two roll on bags and two daypacks, and as planned, we arrived in Vallarta the 31<sup>st<\/sup> of August to start our retirement in paradise.<\/p>\n<p>The first month will be spent in a lovely condo I found on Airbnb for a steal. It\u2019s up in very upper Conchas Chinas, and it being September, Septi-hombre, as it is called in Vallarta. It\u2019s slow season.

There\u2019s no tiendas up there, and one restaurant next door to Club Ocho Cascadas.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Ocho Cascadas is a very famous timeshare place with 9 villas cascading down the hill in Conchas Chinas. 10 levels and pools with 8 waterfalls, or Ocho Cascadas cascading down to the beach. I can only imagine that\u2019s how Ocho Tostadas, the Marsico\u2019s restaurant chain in Vallarta got its name using a play on words\u2026anyway, getting back to Upper Conchas Chinas, You need a car, an Uber, or there\u2019s a sitio at Ocho Cascadas. And often times, you can find a cab. But it\u2019s \u00a0up steep windy cobblestone roads, and cabs and Uber drivers don\u2019t like going up there in the rain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RT9ycRkeD1s?si=TBpxXhdUJfXT_Vu-\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In case you aren\u2019t familiar with where Conchas Chinas is in Vallarta, It\u2019s south of the Romantic Zone in the hills just beyond the area called Amapas. If you look up at the homes and condos on the hillside from the Zona Romantica, that area is known as Amapas\u2026you travel about one or two or three kilometers down the 200, it\u2019s just before the Lindo Mar where Restaurant La Playita is, and head up the steep hill. We\u2019re just below another resort called The Gran Miramar. What a view.<\/p>\n<p>Since we\u2019re here, I plan to do more videos as we travel around Vallarta. And of course, since I\u2019m a retired stiff, I\u2019ll be doing more episodes of the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>And now that we\u2019ve had a week to settle in, our plan is to, during this slow month of September, be looking for a long-term rental, or a home to buy.
