Puerto Vallarta is in the height of its “low” season (for NOTB tourists) and the activities here now focus on local events. For a couple of months, Vallarta becomes part of real Mexico. Even the National tourists are gone because school is now back in session. This is Mexico without any tourists. The weather is hot and humid, as is the local life…

Much more than a library, Biblioteca Los Mangos is a performing arts center, a movie theater, a lecture hall, a school… and a library.
HOURS: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 9 pm and Saturdays 10 am to 6 pm.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens in cooperation with the Puerto Vallarta Department of Parques y Jardines has embarked on an ambitious new project called Ciudad de las Bugamvilias to beautify our city.
Between now and November 1, 2009, 5000 new bougainvillea plants will be installed in the city’s median strips, traffic islands and city parks.
The public is invited to join this ambitious civic initiative by purchasing bougainvilleas at a mere $16 pesos per plant. Groups of 100 plants can be donated for $1,600 pesos or smaller increments. The names of those donating will appear on a plaque commemorating this important project.
Donations can be made by credit card by using PayPal on the website for Vallarta Botanical Gardens www.vallartabotanicalgardensac.org or by calling the Botanical Gardens at 223-6182 or by emailing Bob Price at bobinpvmex (at) yahoo.com or by going in person to Xocodiva Chocolates at Rodolfo Gomez #111 in the Romantic Zone.
The idea for Ciudad de las Bugamvilias or Bougainvillea City is based on creating an annual festival in PV similar to the Cherry Blossom Festivals held annually in Washington, DC, and Vancouver, BC. Cherry Blossom Festivals attract thousands of visitors from around the world, and the beauty of bougainvilleas could generate the same interest for Vallarta.
When you see the new bougainvilleas being planted around our city, remember the success of this project depends on people like you who love Vallarta and wish to give something back to the city. Join the initiative by donating!

At sundown on September 18th, we mark the dawn of the Jewish New Year. Rosh HaShana is a wonderful time to consider where we have been and where we are going in this new year. It is a time for reflection and hope. I can think of no better way to celebrate this date than by sharing a table with our friends. 2009 has been a tough year for those of us in Puerto Vallarta. But the time has come to celebrate and anticipate the successes of the new year.
On September 19th, we will share challah and apples and honey. Allyna Vineberg has generously offered to host this event in her beautiful condo which overlooks the Bay. We will share matzoh ball soup, gefilte fish, homemade challah, dates, beets and leeks as well as a main course of Roasted Chicken with a Pomegranate Glaze.
The event is limited to 25 individuals. Reservations and prepayment are required to ensure participation. To book for this wonderful holiday, please contact Seth at seth (at) FoodbySeth.com or by calling 322 131-8808. The cost of the evening will be $350 pesos and includes all food and wine. As many of the ingredients are being ordered from Mexico City, reservations must be made by September 8th.
Shanah Tova!
