I have pictures in the show notes of the construction underway. They are moving at breakneck speed. We\u2019ll see how long it takes to finish the project.\u00a0 I say, at least 2 more months.<\/p>\n<h3>All the Local Farmers Markets are Open Again For High Season in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>All the local Markets are open again. The Saturday Morning Olas Altas Market, the Three Hens and a Rooster one on Rio Cuale on Saturday\u2019s as well. The Thursday night Market at The Marina is Huge. While you are at the Thursday market you might think of looking up some fancy new restaurants that have just opened up at the Marina. Both of them, Guadalajara based restaurants. One is called Cristina and Cristina is right in the Marina. Just look through their windows and see how beautiful it looks. The other new kid on the block is just up the road right on the golf course near Velas Vallarta, it\u2019s called Santo Coyote, and apparently, it\u2019s another stunning location. Both of these restaurants are newly opened and I\u2019m sure, reading the reviews, having some growing pains. Now a favorite of ours in the Marina is Natureza. Natureza also has another restaurant in their chain in Versalles. \u00a0Debra and I have never had a bad meal at Natureza. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Soups, salads, sandwiches, paninis, crepes. A solid 5 stars every time.<\/p>\n<p>But getting back to the markets, they are all up and down the bay all the way up to the Marina at La Cruz de Huanaxuaxtle.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the Vallarta Art Walk every Wednesday from 6 to 10 in the Centro Art District.

The event invites residents and visitors to honor a landmark that has shaped the city\u2019s cultural and artistic identity for a century.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The island\u2019s unique history is a testament to Puerto Vallarta\u2019s evolution. Formed in 1926 when the Cuale River naturally split, it was initially a temporary landmass. Over time, it became a central part of daily life, particularly in the late 1960s when it was a gathering spot for\u00a0lavanderas, or washerwomen, who used the river to wash clothes. As the city grew, the island transformed, becoming a public park in the 1970s, known as\u00a0Isla de Santa Clara\u00a0or\u00a0Isla de Los Ni\u00f1os.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The centennial celebration promises a wide array of activities designed to honor the island\u2019s rich heritage. Attendees can enjoy a Verbena Popular, or community fair, along with various cultural activities, historical exhibitions, workshops, and film screenings. The event will also feature traditional music and a variety of artistic performances.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The article from the Banderas News continues, and I have a link to it in the show notes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"r7SVmuUvmQ\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/banderasnews.com\/vallarta-to-celebrate-cuale-river-islands-centennial-october-25-27\/\">Vallarta to Celebrate Cuale River Island&#8217;s Centennial October 25\u201327<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Vallarta to Celebrate Cuale River Island&#8217;s Centennial October 25\u201327&#8221; &#8212; Banderas News\" src=\"https:\/\/banderasnews.com\/vallarta-to-celebrate-cuale-river-islands-centennial-october-25-27\/embed\/#?secret=4gfY5Fw3Ec#?secret=r7SVmuUvmQ\" data-secret=\"r7SVmuUvmQ\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Isla is looking especially stunning these days thanks in large part to the efforts of T<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vallartagardenclub\">he Vallarta Garden Club<\/a><\/strong>.

Paco Ojeda, long-time resident, historian and communicator, died unexpectantly in his sleep. Paco was prolific in his coverage of local events. He did a daily Facebook Live show from Vallarta, about Vallarta. He was a great cheer leader for local charities and causes and for restauranters and artists. And his thousands of followers were shocked at the news and to be honest, the absence of his daily broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Paco and I knew each other. I would occasionally see him relaxing in front of a coffee shop enjoying a conversation with friends. And that\u2019s when we\u2019d talk about me having him on the podcast, but it never did come to pass. I\u2019m very sorry for that, and for his passing. Too young to go. Vallarta lost a good one.<\/p>\n<h3>I Really Enjoyed Taking\u00a0 a Cooking Class at Restaurant Gaby&#8217;s in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<h4>Cooking Class with Chef Julio<\/h4>\n<p>A couple shows back we visited Chef Julio from Restaurant Gaby&#8217;s in downtown Puerto Vallarta, near the Big church in town, where we talked about, among other things, his cooking class.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12987\" style=\"width: 478px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12987\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-15-at-10.50.28_a1692782-478x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-15-at-10.50.28_a1692782-478x1024.jpg 478w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-15-at-10.50.28_a1692782-140x300.jpg 140w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-15-at-10.50.28_a1692782.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Julio Castillon Perez at Gaby&#8217;s Restaurant and Bar in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My friends Chad and Trish wanted to know if I wanted to join them in the class they signed up for, the Taco Tuesday cooking class, and I said yes, of course. He started us off with a history lesson of Vallarta and of the restaurant. Then we walked to the Emiliano Zapata Market and along the way we were introduced to a fish monger, and several interesting merchants who Chef Julio was friends with. Julio knew a lot of people and visa versa. At the Mercado Emiliano Zapata we shopped for all the veggies and meats we would be using to make our tacos and salsas, shopping at different many different stores visiting grocers and butchers and spreading the wealth as chef Julio would say among all his shopping connections. He gave us a chance to meet and get to know personally, these suppliers of all the parts and pieces of the feast we were about to prepare. And I have to say that even though My wife and I have been shopping for a year now at the Mercado Emiliano Zapata several times a week for our groceries, it was this shopping adventure that gave me even more confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Once we returned to the restaurant, we got to work preparing all the ingredients to make a full on salsa and taco bar, from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>The whole experience will take some time. We went from 9 in the morning till about 2 or 3. So be ready for about 5 hours in total. It\u2019s totally worth it! If you have the time, and the energy, go for it! I have a link to the cooking classes at Gaby\u2019s, in the show notes.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t Bring Your Pot to Mexico<\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s with the Tourists Bringing Weed into Mexico?<\/p>\n<p>Debbie and I since we\u2019ve arrived to live here full time have met several people now who have told us stories of how they got in trouble bringing their own weed down from the US to Puerto Vallarta. And they were shocked to find that wasn\u2019t a good idea. Not as shocked as we were that they\u2019d bring their own. But here we are. One occasion we ran into a guy from Oklahoma who said the guys at customs found his THC vape pens and his medical marijuana in his luggage and they wouldn\u2019t listen to him trying to explain his disability and his medical marijuana card.<\/p>\n<p>On another occasion, we invited a couple of guys to join us at our oversized table during happy hour one afternoon at Los Muertos Brewery. These guys were from Cincinnati Ohio, and one of them pipes up and says that he got shaken down at the airport for bringing his medical marijuana in his luggage. \u00a0I\u2019m all, what? He says yeah, they found my pot, all packaged from my dispensary, and I showed them my medical marijuana card and I insisted it was my human right to have this, and I\u2019m like, what? I\u2019m like, What did they do to you.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll say this. In both cases, the situations and scenarios were almost identical. They were separated from their travel companions, interrogated, fined and released.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t get into the specifics just to play it safe. You come up with your own conclusions but why on earth would anyone think that this is a good idea? A simple Google search would answer any question you might have as to whether or not you should bring your own weed into Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Now with that being said, can I make a simple suggestion to all you stoners out there. You need to stop this entitlement crap. The \u201cbut I have my human rights card right here in my wallet. The one that I paid my doctor to print out for me\u201d doesn\u2019t fly here. Stop it already. Hasn\u2019t everyone seen The Midnight Express by now? Whatever happened to the fear of drug smuggling?<\/p>\n<p>Listen, you can buy your weed right in paradise from the locally approved growers and sellers. They are everywhere where tourists hang out. I\u2019ve seen these young men ask grannies and grandpas if they want to buy weed. There are parts of this town where if you aren\u2019t being wheeled around in an iron lung, they will ask you, I promise. Just stop bringing in your own weed. They\u2019ll find it. Okay?<\/p>\n<h3>Return to Los Angeles to Pay Respects to my Father<\/h3>\n<p>Last time we talked I had just visited my father in Los Angeles. At 94 years of age, he had just been put in Hospice care, and then a week before Dia de Los Muertos, he passed away. So, we hopped back on a plane for the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to tell a couple of stories about my dad and about the part he played in my love affair with Puerto Vallarta. He and my mom had an occasion to rub shoulders with Elizabeth Taylor. I\u2019ll share it with you soon, in an upcoming episode.<\/p>\n<p>So far Debbie and I have made the trip back and forth to California 4 times through the Mexican Resident line and we just renewed our temporary residency with the help from our friends and facilitators at Green Go 4 Gringo for 3 more years this morning. And then the plan after the 4 years is for permanent Resident.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens When You Die in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1841\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1841\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Dia-de-Los-Muertos-Album.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dia de Los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking of death and dying, I had several people suggest I should do a show about what to do if you die in Puerto Vallarta. And as a matter of fact, I did an episode about that 8 years ago back in November of 2017. So, it\u2019s time to dust that one off and update it for you and me. It\u2019s important information to know. We talked about flying home a body to the US or Canada, Burials, cremation, ash scattering.

It\u2019s in the middle of Colonia Emiliano Zapata on a street that still has the old Vallarta Charm. So far, the condos have remained at arms length and when you sit down in Soco\u2019s Place, you get to enjoy just that. The restaurant has big openings. No windows really. They roll up their doors when they are open. Soco\u2019s sits on a corner, and that corner of I. Madero and Jacarandes that it sits on, still looks like Vallarta did, 40 years ago.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13111\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13111\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-06-at-17.06.36_d39cc87f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-06-at-17.06.36_d39cc87f.jpg 700w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-06-at-17.06.36_d39cc87f-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-06-at-17.06.36_d39cc87f-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Outside Seating at Restaurant Soco&#8217;s Place Puerto Vallarta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The inside of the restaurant is spacious, it has comfortable tables and chairs with some tables set outside on the street.

If you think of something I should be talking about, please reach out to me by clicking on the Contact us tab and sending us your message.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, if you are considering booking any type of tour while you are in Puerto Vallarta, you must go to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vallartainfo.com\/\">Vallartainfo.com<\/a><\/strong>, JR\u2019s website and reserve your tour through him, right from his website. JR is experiencing a bit of the Septi Hambre hardship himself so if you are planning on taking a tour when you come to Vallarta, maybe buy your ticket now to help him out. Remember this is a \u00a0value for value proposition. 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\u2019re 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. Maybe you can come on board and share with others what you liked or didn\u2019t like about the tour. Again, contact me by clicking on the Contact us tab and sending off a message. Don\u2019t forget his maps, his DIY tours and I have links to all of those in the show notes.<\/p>\n<p>And once again, if you like this podcast, please take the time and subscribe and follow share with a lover of Puerto Vallarta or give me a good review wherever or however you happen to be listening.
