marThe Marieta Islands (Spanish: Islas Marietas) are a group of small uninhabited islands a few miles off the coast of Nayarit, Mexico. They are very popular tourist destinations because of the abundant marine life populations due to the islands being protected from fishing and hunting by the Mexican government.

The Marieta Islands were originally formed many thousands of years ago by volcanic activity, and are completely uninhabited. The islands are about an hour long boat ride west-northwest from the coast of Puerto Vallarta and are visited daily by hundreds of tourists, yet no one can legally set foot on the islands. In the early 1900s the Mexican government began conducting military testing on the islands because no one lived there. Many bombings and large explosions took place on the islands causing amazing caves and rock formations to be created. After a massive international outcry, started by scientist Jacques Cousteau in the late 1960s, the government eventually decided to label the islands a national park and therefore protected against any fishing, hunting or human activity.

Tourism
Protection by the government has created an environment conducive to the development of the marine ecosystem, and is a popular location for snorkeling and scuba diving. People often report seeing sea turtles, manta rays, octopus, wild dolphins, humpback whales and thousands of species of tropical fish around the islands. The islands are also home to a few thousand birds, with species such as the Blue-footed Booby. Currently, the Mexican government allows only a few companies to go to the islands for public tours because of conservationist efforts.

You should visit the Marieta Islands at least once in your life, to know, admire and feel a natural and beautiful paradise that is unique in the world.

The Marieta Islands or "Islas Tres Marietas" are a group of three small uninhabited islands a few miles west of the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, in the Pacific Ocean.

The Marieta Islands were made famous by the world known oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. They were declared a biosphere reserve by the UNESCO.

You will find crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches in Marieta Islands. They are home to many birds such as the nice and peculiar blue-footed booby, marine mammals, a large variety of fish, and of course, whales that stay here during the winter season.

What to do and See on the Marieta Islands?

Admire the shape of the islands, which is related to ancient volcanic activity in the ocean in that area.

Observe large colonies of resident and migratory birds, both continental and marine like Frigate birds, gulls, pelicans, blue-footed booby, brown booby, and many others.

Watch dolphins (all year round) and humpback whales (mid-December to late March).

Diving and snorkeling in coral reefs where you can admire underwater landscapes of great beauty and color, inhabited by the Giant Manta, blue and yellow damsels and many other colorful fish.

Practice the kayak and paddle board.

Explore the many caves and other rock formations on the islands´ coast.

Visit and relax in the beautiful little and cozy beaches such as the Hidden Beach, also known as ‘Playa del Amor’ located on the Round Island, the Dead Beach or ‘Playa del Muerto’ and the ‘La Nopalera’ beach in the Long Island or ‘La Isla Larga’.

hosThe federal government, authorizing an investment of 163 million pesos to build in Jalisco, the first Geriatric Hospital in the country, advises the PRI federal deputy, Leobardo Alcala, who pointed out that this entity will be at the forefront of elderly care, a project that has been proposed due to the extension of life expectancy and other health standards and competition in Mexico's West:

"... Jalisco would be one of the first states in the Republic, to have a hospital with features to serve older adults and their diseases, today life expectancy is 74 years for men and 76 years for a woman ... "

He stresses that while the population chronological accumulates more years of life, the effect is an increase in the cost of medical care, hence the need for this hospital. He also indicates that Jalisco is the third nationally in the number of hospital beds, just below Mexico City and Baja California.

traditional talpa allendeSurrounded by mountains and forests that perfect blend of natural beauty with culture and tradition, Talpa de Allende is a charming village that radiates the magic of an authentic Mexican town. The famous Church of Our Lady of Talpa dates back to 1782 and is an architectural marvel, where the image of the famous Virgin of Talpa stands to welcome thousands of Catholics each year.

Autumn is a very special time in the mountains of Jalisco. The summer rains have washed clean the faces of every leaf and blade of grass in the countryside. Imagine yourself taking a walk along a country road, portable easel, paints and brushes in hand. You might have a water bottle slung over one shoulder and a tuna sandwich in your fanny pack. You could be listening to the birds talking to each other, the crickets calling out or maybe it is your favorite music or guru on your Walkman attached to your belt. If you think you're surely almost in Heaven, you might be in the hills around Talpa de Allende, Jalisco.

I'm not a botanist nor an artist so I can't tell you the names of all the wild flowers that are setting the hills ablaze with different shades of yellow, pink, oranges and lavenders set against the background of a jillion tones of green, which we look out upon this time of the year.

Talpa de Allende is a festive town in this autumn setting, and the party gets started on the first Sunday in August after the twelve o'clock mass, when the Virgin of Talpa starts Her Walk. This is not The Big Walk that happens in March, but it is called Her Walk.

Our Señora del Rosario is a twenty inch wooden figure which has become almost as popular in some parts of Mexico as the Virgin of Guadalupe. She is accredited with her first miracle in September 1644. Today she roams the country roads for six weeks visiting ranches; blessing the animals, creeks, cattle watering holes, corn and bean fields, and fruit orchards. She is accompanied by small or large groups of her faithful devotees. The size of her entourage depends on the culinary achievements of the rancher's wife where she will visit at lunch hour.

An altar is prepared at each ranch house where The Little Short One, as she is affectionately called, will visit. The rancher's wife brings out her best table cloth to drape over a table, and decorates it with flowers plucked from her own garden or wild ones gathered in the fields. Candles are placed on the makeshift altar to be lighted when the little figure is placed upon it.

The visitors announce their arrival by shooting rockets into the air as they approach. An adult member of the rancher's family will usually go out to meet the pilgrims and take the burden of the Traveling Virgin onto his shoulders for the final steps of the procession to the waiting altar. Normally, there will be one person to lead the prayers offered at each ranch house for that particular day. Once the prayers are finished, the rancher's wife offers refreshments to the travelers before they hike off to the next ranch down the road for a repeat performance. When dusk falls, individuals in the group stand vigil throughout the night. It is considered a special honor to have the Virgin sleep over at your ranch.

The group changes constantly during this six week trek. Some drop out and others join in, but the routine remains the same until September 10th when the Virgin of Talpa is brought back to the cathedral where she is met by a previously selected group of women who have the honor of bathing the road dust from the image and dressing it in its new dress.

The tiny dress with an accompanying cape is a sight to behold. The fabric is imported from France, and although it is more or less the same design that has been used for many years, the colors change from year to year, running in the pastel range. The dress and cape are hand-embroidered with silver and gold threads, and encrusted with precious and semi-precious stones at a cost of approximately $40,000 pesos. Families line up each year to participate in the cost of the new apparel. Salvador Aguilar, a young designer in Guadalajara, is responsible for the dresses of several of the Madonna's images in Mexico.

On special fiesta days honoring the Virgin of Talpa, a carpet of flowers is carefully placed in intricate designs in the main plaza. This is definitely not a hap-hazard method of strewing flowers for her to "walk" over. Designs are copied from charts onto the sidewalks and areas of the plaza in chalk. Groups are assigned to certain areas and given boxes of flower petals to create the colorful carpet.

There are secrets to all this pageantry that everybody doesn't know. Nuestra Señora de Rosario, the Little Short One of Talpa has her own Ladies-in-Waiting. Maybe only God and the chief priest know exactly how many replicas of The Authentic One are out there, but don't be surprised if you run across her in Sedona, Seattle, Puerto Vallarta or other parts unknown. La Autentica never gets down from her throne except for four days of the year, and that is to walk around the plaza. Her substitutes do the traveling. In no way does that take anything away from the magic of Talpa de Allende, Jalisco.

The next time The Lady walks will be October 7th. That's her birthday.

viThe first direct flight of the season arrived from Manchester to the Vallarta-Nayarit International Airport carrying 270 passengers; another direct flight from London will follow on May 3rd.
The Vallarta-Nayarit International Airport welcomed the first non-stop direct flight that inaugurates the new season of weekly trips by TUI from England to the Riviera Nayarit.

The inaugural flight arrived on May 1st around 3 p.m. with 270 passengers on board; on May 3rd another new flight from London will touch down as part of this estimated three-year agreement.

The passengers arrived to a special welcome that included the presence of Duncan Taylor, British Ambassador to Mexico; Sharon Johnstone, TUI Area Manager for Mexico and Cuba; plus Ignacio Cadena and Fernando González Ortega, the presidents of the hotel and motel associations for Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay, respectively.

The teams from the Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta convention and visitors bureaus were also present, along with their respective directors, Marc Murphy and Rolando Miravete (in that order).

"2014 is a year filled with opportunities for Mexico’s tourism industry,” declared Milko Rivera Hope, Director of the Mexico Tourism Board office in the UK. “Not only are the numbers of tourists to and from the UK continuing to grow, but the new direct flights from London and Manchester with Thomson to Puerto Vallarta are also opening up Mexico’s Pacific coast and its many attractions to the British tourist.”

Mariachi music filled the air as the passengers arrived at the terminal; among the first in were Sue Bradley, General Manager for Long Haul, Thalia Mitchell, Product Director for Long Haul and David Pastor, Purchasing Manager for TUI UK.

“Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit are ideal for several different markets, including families, honeymoon, romantic getaways, scuba diving, epicureans and foodies. Mexico is definitely a fun in the sun destination, but there’s so much more to it,” added Rivera.

These two weekly flights are the only direct flights from England to the Pacific, thanks to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Thomson Airways, which is specially adapted for long-haul flights.

“These new flights serve to add in even more seats and help us recover some of the 400 thousand seats we lost between 2008 and 2012,” commented Marc Murphy. “We hope to end the year on a high note with 100 to 120 thousand new seats.”

5mThe holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16.

The battle at Puebla in 1862 happened at a violent and chaotic time in Mexico's history. Mexico had finally gained independence from Spain in 1821 after a difficult and bloody struggle, and a number of internal political takeovers and wars, including the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Mexican Civil War of 1858, had ruined the national economy.

During this period of struggle Mexico had accumulated heavy debts to several nations, including Spain, England and France, who were demanding repayment. Similar debt to the U.S. was previously settled after the Mexican-American War. France was eager to expand its empire at that time, and used the debt issue to move forward with goals of establishing its own leadership in Mexico. Realizing France's intent of empire expansion, Spain and England withdrew their support. When Mexico finally stopped making any loan payments, France took action on its own to install Napoleon III's relative, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, as ruler of Mexico.

France invaded at the gulf coast of Mexico along the state of Veracruz (see map) and began to march toward Mexico City, a distance today of less than 600 miles. Although American President Abraham Lincoln was sympathetic to Mexico's cause, and for which he is honored in Mexico, the U.S. was involved in its own Civil War at the time and was unable to provide any direct assistance.

Marching on toward Mexico City, the French army encountered strong resistance near Puebla at the Mexican forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. Lead by Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin, a smaller, poorly armed militia estimated at 4,500 men were able to stop and defeat a well outfitted French army of 6,500 soldiers, which stopped the invasion of the country. The victory was a glorious moment for Mexican patriots, which at the time helped to develop a needed sense of national unity, and is the cause for the historical date's celebration.

Unfortunately, the victory was short lived. Upon hearing the bad news, Napoleon III had found an excuse to send more troops overseas to try and invade Mexico again, even against the wishes of the French populace. 30,000 more troops and a full year later, the French were eventually able to depose the Mexican army, take over Mexico City and install Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico.

Maximilian's rule of Mexico was also short lived, from 1864 to 1867. With the American Civil War now over, the U.S. began to provide more political and military assistance to Mexico to expel the French, after which Maximilian was executed by the Mexicans - his bullet riddled shirt is kept at the museum at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. So despite the eventual French invasion of Mexico City, Cinco de Mayo honors the bravery and victory of General Zaragoza's smaller, outnumbered militia at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Today's Celebration

For the most part, the holiday of Cinco de Mayo is more of a regional holiday in Mexico, celebrated most vigorously in the state of Puebla. There is some limited recognition of the holiday throughout the country with different levels of enthusiasm, but it's nothing like that found in Puebla.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become increasingly popular along the U.S.-Mexico border and in parts of the U.S. that have a high population of people with a Mexican heritage. In these areas the holiday is a celebration of Mexican culture, of food, music, beverage and customs unique to Mexico.

Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have also had a hand in promoting the holiday, with products and services focused on Mexican food, beverages and festivities, with music playing a more visible role as well. Several cities throughout the U.S. hold parades and concerts during the week following up to May 5th, so that Cinco de Mayo has become a bigger holiday north of the border than it is to the south, and being adopted into the holiday calendar of more and more people every year.

Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May

tortThe event took place at El Naranjo Turtle Camp, located past La Peñita de Jaltemba. That evening seven survivors were released into the sea.

It was twenty years ago that the last black turtle nest was registered at El Naranjo Turtle Camp, located to one side of La Peñita de Jaltemba. Now on April 22nd, seven tiny black turtles were released in the Riviera Nayarit.

Forty eggs were reportedly found at the camp 84 days ago, which were duly taken care of until they hatched. From that total, only half of them actually hatched and only seven hatchlings survived. Normally, this species takes between 50 and 55 days to hatch, but the local weather conditions delayed the event.

“This is the second black turtle nest we were able to collect. It was a meter and a half in size and weighed 120 kilograms. It’s not very common for these turtles to reach our shores, as they usually prefer the beaches at Colola, Michoacán,” explained Ricardo Villaseñor, Secretary of the Nayarit Ecologists Group and part of the group that operates the camp.

Although it’s not a given that these cold-blooded reptiles return to nest in the place where they hatched, it could happen: it takes 20 years for a black turtle to reach its sexual maturity and one of the previous hatchlings could have returned to lay her eggs on the shores of the Riviera Nayarit.

“It’s a very important event for us, as we have already registered several species including the leatherback, Ridley, Hawksbill and black turtles. These are four out of the seven species that usually nest on this beach, already considered a very important sea turtle hatching area,” added Villaseñor.

The black turtle takes the longest to reach maturity. For example, the leatherback takes 10 years and the Ridley only eight. All of the sea turtles are endangered, but only the Hawksbill, olive Ridley and leatherback are critically endangered (two of these nest in the Riviera Nayarit.)

“When you see a turtle nest hatching please do not touch it and do not gather the hatchlings. What you need to do is simply observe them and ensure they make it to the water. When the turtle is actually laying her eggs the same notion applies: just observe and let her do her job,” recommended Richard.

This request to not touch them is not just to avoid harming the turtles, but also because people can be at risk of being contaminated with HPV, as reptiles are occasionally carriers of this contagious virus.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau urges the community to take heed of the recommendations posted by the authorities and not to forget that should anyone choose to disturb the cycle of nature they would be committing a Federal offense if they steal or harm any part of the turtle.

aaaAfter the tragic events that occurred Wednesday afternoon April 9th in the Piedras Negras, Mexico area, where a man aged 41 died after being attacked by African bees, the Fire Department in Eagle Pass, Texas remains alert to the possibility of more swarms.

The fire chief, Jesus Rodriguez of Eagle Pass, said the swarm that killed the man and caused panic across the northern part of the city was wiped out, but does not rule out that there are other nests. He said that they have detected increased of bee activity mainly in the spring.  Africanized bees are very aggressive.

He mentioned that in case of a danger from a bee community, people can immediately call the emergency telephone, and if the authorities find a hive on your property the first recommendation is that the owner hire a pest control company to eliminate insects.

He said if the bee hive is under public ownership, the responsibility lies to the city and they will be notified.  Africanized bees are the most dangerous bees on the planet.

In Vallarta, the most recent report was in Bucerias in August, but we are in the Spring/Summer season and time to be vigilant!

killer-bees-kill-texas-man-april-2014Identifying Africanized Bees
Unfortunately, unless you're a trained bee expert, you won't be able to tell killer bees apart from "normal" bees. Killer bees, which are more properly called African honey bees, are just a subspecies of the European honey bees kept by beekeepers. The physical differences between the African honey bees and European honey bees are almost imperceptible to the non-expert.

Protecting Local Bee Species
Remember that our local varieties of bees are essential to our local flora.  We also have the similar honey bee in the area with the mild sting we all know as well as some smaller varieties that pose absolutely no threat.  This announcement is to bring awareness to the presence of the africanized honey bee, not to create a mass bee scare.  Protect yourselves while maintaining compassion.

The local Fire Department should be called to deal with any of these nests you might find
