The Dogs of Sunny Vallarta

Pets are great company and can become very dear to us - especially dogs. Have you ever been abroad or simply away on business or vacation and missed your dog to bits? Well, so have I and this blog illustrates perfectly what it's like. This post is written by a woman who visited Puerto Vallarta and missed her dog so much that she took some original pictures of "The Dogs of Sunny Puerto Vallarta". See what she has to say about Mexican dogs and laugh at what substitutes she comes up with!

Video of San Blas, Nayarit

As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the most lovely places to go to in Nayarit is San Blas...I wrote about literature and music inspired by El Muelle de San Blas or the San Blas Wharf in Nayarit and if you watch the video, you'll see what an amazingly tranquil, beautiful place it is.

If you've ever been to San Blas, what would you say was the best thing about it? The spot in town with the most charm? The nicest meal you had?

Sweeping View of San Pancho

I've been wanting to give those of you that follow my blog a good look at part of Riviera Nayarit, and I found this video of San Francisco, also affectionately called San Pancho, which I talked about in a post a couple of weeks ago. Watch this video to get a good idea of what one of the most tranquil but interesting towns in Nayarit is like. I think the video is sponsored by a touring company, so if you're in the area they could be a good tour provider.

How to Plant Tomatoes

I was interested in growing fresh vegetables myself and I found this great article on how to plant tomatoes. Tomatoes are a vegetable that thrive in warm weather and they give off a large yield, so it's always rewarding. It's also a fun, easy way to start planting vegetables because you don't even need a garden - you can start from seeds in plantable pots or use a ledge or the railing of a balconette.

I definitely recommend trying it, home-grown tomatoes taste delicious and are a great way to start a garden! Click here to find out more about tomatoes.
