Remember we talked about the preserve at Boca de Tomates, and along the Ameca river, the Vallarta Marina, you can see them there often too. But as JR said in an earlier podcast, they use the ocean to move around, to migrate so to speak and there have been spottings of crocodiles on the beach, up the Rio Cuale, yes, up the Cuale, and of course, in the Marina Vallarta, so just be wary that during the rainy season, strange things seem to happen with the crocodile population here They get curious. Maybe they are just looking for a good time. But be aware.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Warique is Celebrating Their One Year Anniversary<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3378\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3378\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180514_181301-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Warique Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Their announcement reads\u2026 We can\u2019t believe it!

Oh my god. How long has it been since the movie 10 with Bo Derek? Let\u2019s see, 10 was filmed in 1979, almost 40 years ago, and white women still think it\u2019s s good idea to have their hair braided into cornrows. My wife did it and what a mess when she finally decided to unbraid? Yet I digress.<\/p>\n<p>There are all kinds of these vendors and one of them, I always wanted to talk with, he\u2019s a tall and skinny Mexican guy and he wears, and makes hats woven from palm frond leaves. And he weaves a lifelike Iguana on the top of these hats. Anyway, and his name is Jose. Jose is Mr. Palms. You can see him walking along the Malecon with his supply of palm leaves, and hats to show off. So I stopped to talk with him one evening on the Malecon and he was sitting with a friend near an OXXO, so I asked if he would let us know a little bit about himself, and he said ok. Now Jose doesn\u2019t speak English, it\u2019s only Spanish for him, so this is my first attempt here to dub over the Spanish with English, and I didn\u2019t hire a guy with a Mexican accent to do the translation, it\u2019s just me, but I hope you can get the jest of the conversation and I hope the audio isn\u2019t confusing, here we go now to the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta on a lovely evening, and let\u2019s meet Jose, Mr. Palms.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen to The Podcast<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/6962732\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/autoplay\/no\/autonext\/no\/thumbnail\/yes\/preload\/no\/no_addthis\/no\/direction\/backward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/87A93A\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He was great.

I happened to be walking past his home, a small street level room, an apartment, in Downtown, and he struck up a conversation with me. Well we got to talking about what he did, and what I do, and we exchanged information and parted ways. Then I found him again, this time, he was on the Malecon, displaying his beautiful artwork. So, the next time I came to town, I made sure I stopped by his place. Now Anastacio is a funny guy. He has a dry sense of humor, and he likes to have a good time, but he is dedicated to his art. I have pictures of some of his work in the show-notes so you need to see it when you get a chance, but let\u2019s go right now, to a small apartment room in downtown Puerto Vallarta, and let\u2019s meet the talented Anastacio Tolentino Vargas, My Buddy Nacho!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3924\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3924 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928.jpg 960w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook_1536645331928-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anastacio Vargas and Jose, Sr. Palms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Listen to The Podcast<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/6962732\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/autoplay\/no\/autonext\/no\/thumbnail\/yes\/preload\/no\/no_addthis\/no\/direction\/backward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/87A93A\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Suggestions From Anastacio Tolentino Vargas<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Places You Will Find His Art<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Revoluci%C3%B3n-Restaurant-Bar-1889608174684367\/?rf=119457001569963\">Revolution Bar Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pinatas Bar, on Abasolo Street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Breakfast Places<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Top Floor of Municipal Market several restaurants<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fredystucan.com\/\">Fredy&#8217;s Tucan Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Lunch<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RestaurantCafeLukumbe\/\">Lucumbe, Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dinner<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pizotta, Puerto Vallarta<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playerspv.com\/\">Players Sports Bar, Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Contact Information for Anastacio Tolentino Vargas<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Email&#8212;travel2pv@hotmail.com<\/li>\n<li>Facebook&#8212;@Travel2pv<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Entertainment Places<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/andales.com\/en\/home-i\/\">Andale&#8217;s Restaurant, Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/roxyrockhouse.com\/\">Roxy Puerto Vallarta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3760\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3760\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3760\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180510_141412-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil Painting by Anastacio Tolentino Vargas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A funny guy yes?
