the flying dog

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Here’s a super happy ending… Two Yelapa visitors have sponsored this pup with a number of services from our local vet, Pamela. If one of our four legged wonders, catches your heart… why not look for Pamela to find out how you can help.

out of the office…literally

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

The way in Yelapa is to spend the months of May-October preparing for the upcoming rain and then the upcoming tourist season. Then like a slow wave forming the season kicks in and it has pretty much been a blur for me trying to keep a hold on this little business I built to feed […]

This week is the annual celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Yelapa and the church is looking great even though it is in the middle of a giant renovation. Here’s a peek for you.

reef

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

A few months back I would have bet that Reef was not a match for Yelapa. But recently he has found his pace or groove and is on top of his game. Within days he’s off to the States and then, of course… plans to return to Yelapa.

Many of you remember the colorful Saul who ran restaurants here in Yelapa for 35 years. A few months back, Saul passed away. This picture is a copy of an original painting done in roughly 1987 by the famous artist, Nall. I recently heard that the original, which was in a gallery in France […]

morning treats

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Speaking of delivery… meet Temo of Tacos Yolanda … every morning they offer fresh squeezed juices near the town basketball court. The big tip is that he delivers as he goes to work as a waiter at Chicos, on the beach. I get either a large orange juice or a large OJ mixed with […]

other visitors

Friday, March 9th, 2007

This week we had some other visitors… These have no head, brain, heart, eyes, nor ears and no bones, either. Give up? Jellyfish… the best precautions are to look at the shoreline before entering the water. If stung… the best thing to do is come to my office where I have a stash of […]

silver foxes visit

Friday, March 9th, 2007

I usually don’t write much about scorpions or snakes or other tourism killers but this is too interesting to pass up. A few days back a silver fox ran into an unnamed casa and grabbed the pant leg of the resident, Another woman inside the casa helped and fended off the beast. Within minutes the […]
