Hello, Last
year we were fortunate to listen to a concert given by Paco Renteria at the Camino
Real in December. Could you please tell us if he is going
to be giving a concert anytime in December of this year? Thank
you, sincerely Jacquie and Ernie Escajeda Dear readers, To
the best of our knowledge, the only time that seems to have been confirmed for
Paco to return to Vallarta is in the month of November, during the Arts Festival
scheduled for that month. We are not aware of any performance dates for December
as of yet. The Ed.
This is for
Anna, My husband & I have visited PV many times since
1988 and have often imagined how beautiful it must be during the rainy season.
This little ditty just arrived on my email today and it seemed fitting to send
it your way. Keep up the good work. "Dust if you
must but wouldn't it be better To paint a picture or write a letter, Bake
a cake or plant a seed. Ponder the difference between want and need? Dust
if you must but there's not much time, With rivers to swim and mountains to
climb, Music to hear and books to read, Friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust
if you must but the world's out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in
your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around
again. Dust if you must but bear in mind, Old age will
come and it's not kind. And when you go and go you must, You, yourself,
will make more dust. Remember, "A house becomes a
home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture..." Betty

Dear Editor, This
article was published in the Seattle Times recently and I found it may serve a
purpose to publish it here: "Malaysia's tourism minister
said taxi drivers who were rude to visitors should be 'lined up against the wall
and shot', the New Straits Times newspaper reported. Culture, Arts and Tourism
Minister, Abdul Fadzir, said taxi drivers who were rude or had cheated tourists
in Malaysia had become a 'serious problem. The government
has spent lots of money and put in a lot of effort to attract tourists. Taxi drivers
who behave in this way are traitors to our country and deserve to be shot.' The
minister said the government was considering raising the deposit taxi companies
pay to register vehicles if driver standards were not improved." Maybe
attitudes here in Vallarta would improve if more stringent measures were leveled
against individual drivers. Just A Thought, M.M. Archives
