Dear Editor, Information
for foreign tourists - Local bus transportation Not all
buses pass through the center of Puerto Vallarta. If your bus stops at Parque
Hidalgo or Parque Lazaro Càrdenas, to the north and south of the center
of the city respectively, your bus ticket will serve to board another bus on the
other side of the park to go into the center of the city. You
do not have to pay again. This service applies to all bus companies. The
bus stops in the center of the city are - when travelling north-south along Morelos:
1. Jesùs Langarica (DIF, south side of Parque Hidalgo), 2. Abasolo (20
de noviembre school) and 3. Libertad (City Hall). When
travelling south-north along Juàrez: 1. Libertad and Matamoros (El Campeòn
shoe store), 2. Mina ("Telas Parisina") and 3. 31 de octubre (Woolworth) This
bus service is an agreement between the bus companies and the city government
to help alleviate traffic in the center of the city during reconstruction and
the busy Christmas period. If the bus companies do not
honor your bus pass, please report it to the authorities. Ron

Hi, We
arrived back in Vallarta on December 7th for our annual stay and were amazed at
the progress that has been made repairing the damage from Kenna. One
of the problems we had was finding a copy of the Tribune. We used to pick it up
weekly in the lobby of the Rosita Hotel. We finally found a copy of the 9-15 issue
today, the 15th, behind the counter of a book store. So, our first question is:
Where can we find the Tribune, now that so many of the places we previously found
it are closed? In reading through the issue, we noticed
a couple of errors. The first is on page 3 in the section - Welcome to Vallarta!
"...none of the hurricanes spawned in the Pacific have entered the bay since
the beginning of regional record keeping." Kenna has changed all that. We
enjoy your paper very much while we are here and pvmirror.com online when we are
at our other home in Morro Bay, CA. The picture coverage of Kenna was outstanding. The
other error was under Previously Reviewed Restaurants - Pipis. We walked down
to Pipis this morning to enjoy their great Sunday Brunch only to find that it
was discontinued a couple of months ago and there are no plans to resume it. It
had become a Sunday tradition with us and we will very much miss it. One
thing that you could do would be an article on Sunday Brunches around the bay.
Paul and Serdena Hutchings Dear
Paul and Serdena, Thank you for the compliments,
all the credit for the photographs goes to Javier Perez.
In fact, Hurricane
Kenna did NOT enter the bay. It hit the coast of Nayarit north of the bay, the
town of San Blas to be exact. What we did get was the very edge of it and look
what it did! Imagine if Vallarta had received the full force of it. We're
sorry to hear about Pipis. We will check out our information better in the future
and definitely undertake the research necessary to publish something on the various
Sunday Brunches offered around town. Thank you for a great idea! The
Ed.
Dear Editor: Is
there any recycling currently available in Puerto Vallarta? Such as aluminum cans,
cardboard, tin, metal, etc? If not why not? Thank you-
