BEAUTIFUL BROOMSTICKS, BASKETS AND BREAD


After days of cool, overcast days with highs in the low 70´s, Saturday, January 21st, was blue and balmy.  In the morning on the malecón, a non-partisan,  almost 100% northerners gathering took place at los arcos in solidarity with women´s marches taking place across the world.

 From there, I walked with a friend to the Saturday market in parque Lázaro Cárdenas (this was once a real park, as was Parque Hidalgo on the north side of town.  They were both cemented over, eliminating two very pretty green areas.  Garages, that are both very under-used, were built underneath),  one can listen to two different kinds of live music,

buy fresh produce and baked goods, enjoy a good lunch from one of the food stands, or find a wonderful broom, basket or a nice selection of apparel, jewelry and handicrafts.

More wonderful things:  Louise Mann, who has a very good eye, has moved her MANNMADE MEXICO art & design to a great looking renovated old brick and adobe (I love the wet, earthy smell of adobe) building.  Guadalupe Sanchez 672 in Centro - on the Art Walk and a few doors away from Cafe des Artistes.

VILLAS DE UNIVERSIDAD DE ATEMAJAC:  PEACEAnimals had been to this working-class neighborhood thirty minutes northeast of Vallarta once before, and it was very busy.  This week it was unfortunately less attended than anticipated.    The location for the clinic was in an empty bodega just off the well-traveled Avenida México, across the street from a Pemex gas station. Pemex (Petróleos Mexicanos), known as the world´s eighth largest producer of oil, has a total debt of more than $100 billion USD.  The price of gasoline in Mexico was increased 20% in Mexico, which makes not only gas more expensive, but other commodities as well.

While at the clinic on Thursday morning, a young woman assisted by two friends carried in a large kennel with a large tan and white female dog inside it.  She had rescued the dog weeks ago after it had been hit by a car.  Although disease free and healthy, the dog´s hind legs were completely atrophied.  Sadly, this gentle dog will probably never walk again.

A small, thin woman named Adriana showed me a photo of an emaciated, wounded and pregnant brown and white female Pit Bull mix she had seen in the nearby colonia of Mojoneras.  Unable to capture the frightened dog, she asked me to post this photo in hopes that someone could help her rescue it.

WHAT:     BUFFET DINNER AND MOVIE NIGHT

FILM:      "Mr. Hulot´s Holiday," Released in 1953, starring the great Jacques Tati.  
"It is not a comedy of hilarity but a comedy of memory, nostalgia, fondness and good cheer. There are some real laughs in it, but “Mr. Hulot's Holiday” gives us something rarer, an amused affection for human nature--so odd, so valuable, so particular."  Roger Ebert, film critic
