According to tradition, there is no obligation to pay back anything borrowed on this day.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition is based on a tragic biblical story. According to the Gospel of St. Matthew, when King Herod was warned of the birth of the new king, the baby Jesus, he sent soldiers to kill all boys under the age of 2 to maintain a hold on his kingdom. The children killed on this day are known as the \u201cHoly Innocents.\u201d Jesus escaped the slaughter because his parents were warned by an angel and fled.<\/p>\n<p>The date is set on December 28 in part because it is a few days after the celebration of Jesus\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n<p>But the concept of \u201ca trick\u201d comes into play because King Herod was fooled into believing that he had eliminated the threat, which he had not.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of behaving in a naughty manner dates back to the Middle Ages in Europe, when there was a \u201cfestival of the crazies\u201d between December 24 and 31. A blind eye was turned to many kinds of excess but the festival got out of hand in Spain, forcing King Phillip II to ban it. The celebration became a day associated with playing tricks and the practice of borrowing something to be returned on Candlemas, February 2.<\/p>\n<p>Like other Spanish Catholic observances, this made its way to Mexico and has evolved in its own way. There is a phrase recited to those who have been fooled is \u201cInocente palomita que te dejaste enga\u00f1ar en este D\u00eda de los Inocentes, que en nadie debes confiar.\u201d (Innocent dove, you let yourself be fooled on this Day of the Innocents, when nobody should be trusted.)<\/p>\n<p>Source: El Sol de M\u00e9xico (sp), La Raz\u00f3n (sp)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"aCEMcfKKlm\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/april-fools-day-falls-in-december\/\">In Mexico, April Fool&#8217;s Day falls in December and celebrates &#8216;the innocents&#8217;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#8220;In Mexico, April Fool&#8217;s Day falls in December and celebrates &#8216;the innocents&#8217;&#8221; &#8212; Mexico News Daily\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/mexiconewsdaily.com\/news\/april-fools-day-falls-in-december\/embed\/#?secret=aCEMcfKKlm\" data-secret=\"aCEMcfKKlm\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Total for Cheryl\u2019s Shoebox<\/h3>\n<p>We have final totals for the Sinterclaus Shoe Drive at The Reinas Bar, let\u2019s read from the Banderas News\u2026December 27th<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5560\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5560\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_141653-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_141653-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_141653-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_141653-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190523_141653-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reinas Bar Puerto Vallarta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico &#8211; Reinas Bar on the south side of Puerto Vallarta is tackling one of the most visible signs of poverty by giving kids in need new shoes this holiday season. &#8220;When you give shoes to a child, you give so many other things like hope, dignity, and joy,&#8221; noted Marcus Van Groeningen, owner of Reinas Bar.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the bar&#8217;s caring patrons, over 800 pairs of new shoes were collected during this year&#8217;s &#8216;fun-raising&#8217; shoe drive.<\/p>\n<p>The shoes will be distributed by Cheryl&#8217;s Shoebox, a local non-profit organization. The programs at Cheryl&#8217;s Shoebox have changed over the years with the underlying foundation of children and education. What started with a few pair of shoes to neighborhood children has expanded to school supplies, school window repair as well as providing mattresses for children undergoing cancer treatment and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>Childhood is supposed to be a magical, carefree time. But kids can suffer excruciating stigma, bullying, and ridicule&#8230; all for the lack of decent shoes. Reinas Bar has collected over 1644 pairs since the campaign started just 2 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Start 2020 off on the right foot by stopping by Reinas Bar at L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas 361 to learn more about this wonderful program. So way to go Marco and the Queen\u2019s Bar. I have a link in the shownotes as well as the full scoop on Sinterclaus and his special helpers the Piten, the black petes in last week\u2019s podcast episode if you missed it that is.

From Puerto Vallarta Daily News\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Mexico raised its national minimum wage 20% Monday, but it still doesn\u2019t amount to even $1 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>That is a boost from the 120.68-peso minimum wage prevailing this year.<\/p>\n<p>While the increase well above the 3% annual inflation rate, it is barely enough to keep one person over the poverty line, even though Mexico\u2019s constitution says it should be enough to support a worker and his family.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum wage in a narrow stretch of territory along the border with the United States is higher than in the rest of the country, due to higher living costs. Starting next year the border minimum will rise about 5%, to $9.75 a day.<\/p>\n<p>The Labor Department said the lowest legal wage will be 123.22 pesos a day starting Jan. 1, or about $6.50 at current exchange rates.

Make sure to download it while you are at home using your WiFi because It uses a lot of data. If you have an android device as a phone and can add an SD card for extra data, that can serve you well if space is limited on your phone, but the offline version of the Google maps app works better if the stored map in stored in the phone memory. That is optimum. The maps will disappear in 15 days if you aren\u2019t connected to an internet connection. So keep that in\u00a0 mind Google will automatically update the map as long as you are connected to WiFi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6959\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6959\" src=\"http:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Hiker-Icon.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6959\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Using Google Maps on Your Cellphone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are apps for your phone for trails and walks\u2026distance and elevation.

Press that and it gives you step by step, turn by turn instructions including 360 degree photos. It\u2019s amazing! But there\u2019s more. You look at the hiker icon on the screen above the map and there are other icons. Next to the hiker is an Uber Icon. Press that and it tells you how long and approximately how much, to take an Uber from where you are to where you want to go, if you decide your walk isn\u2019t going so well. You can go right from the map, to the app and summon your Uber from where you are. There\u2019s a bus icon that you can push and it will tell you how to get to your nearest bus stop by foot, and which buses will take you where you want to go including the best routes. So if you don\u2019t use Uber, but do use public transportation, bingo. They also can calculate routes by bike and car of course. But wait, there\u2019s more. Go to the top of the screen next to the destination area and over the up and down arrows is a three dot stack. The magic stack. Press the dots and you will get an option to select your rout options, add a stop to your trip, search for something along the route, add the map to your home screen, share the directions with yourself or friends via whats app or messenger or email. You can also share your location with your friends too the same way.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Z8QArTQuQo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Google maps give you the option to see the terrain, bus routes, satellite and map versions. Learn how to use that map app. It\u2019s invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my favorite hikes in Puerto Vallarta would have to be the hike up to the cross and a walk along the length of the Malecon.<\/p>\n<p>To get to the cross from the Malecon, Begin at Mandala, on Abasolo and go straight up Abasolo. Follow the signs when you see them. The cross sits at approximately 500 meters or 1,640 feet up from sea level. It\u2019s a hike but you will be rewarded with an incredible view of the bay, and the mountains and colonias east.<\/p>\n<p>My very favorite walk is along the Malecon. If you start at Daquri Dicks and head north to the end of the Malecon at the Hotel Rosita and the McDonald&#8217;s, the distance is 1.5 km and they say it will take me 19 minutes and\u00a0 If you double back, the total is 3 km.<\/p>\n<p>Another one of my favorite hikes in Vallarta is Up in Paso Ancho bus end of the line to Moro Paraiso. It\u2019s an easy hike. Flat, and on a good gravel road. Only about 1 KM from the bus stop to Morro Paraiso.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve taken Ubers back there if you don\u2019t want to hike, but this is an episode about hiking.<\/p>\n<p>Las Animas on the google maps function doesn\u2019t work, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>The walk from Boca de Tomatlan to Playa Las Animas is a great hike for those of you who are mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone says walk the streets, so Walk the Streets of The Romantic Zone. Go up and down the streets beginning at Aquellis Serdan up and across to Madero and go down and so-on. The walk will be about 6 km when you finish on Basillio Badillo, and you will know all about that part of town in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Street Art Mural Tour. Go to PVstreetart.com, and there\u2019s a map and turn by turn instructions broken down by neighborhoods. It\u2019s cool and I have a link in the shownotes. They also give tours too so if you are looking for a guided tour by a local artist, that\u2019s available through PV Street Art too.<\/p>\n<h3>PV Street Art Strolls Map<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1CC7ysdljsoS4ZOZsD1T-Oe4lACKtLL2v\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>PVStreet Art Website<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvstreetart.com\/interactive-street-art-map\">https:\/\/www.pvstreetart.com\/interactive-street-art-map<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can customize a walk for yourself and family and friends. Do a Church Hop. Hit all the big churches in town.<\/p>\n<p>Do a bridge walk, cross all the bridges that cross the Rio Cuale beginning at the ocean Malecon bridge, then crisscross your way up the Cuale Island to Colonia Canoes and the Puente Colgante Bridge. That would be a great walk.<\/p>\n<p>Walk up in Alta Vista or Conchas Chinas. Make your own customized walks using Google Maps.<\/p>\n<h3>Aventuras Quetzal and Eduardo Nava, Hiking in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>Now our next guest has been on the show before as I said at the beginning of the podcast.
