Elizabeth Taylor & Mexico- Bucerias
Tweet
Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011
http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com
So a long time ago back in 1989/90 I was visiting Mexico. I went about 3x in about a year and half and I liked to stay in a little town called Bucerias. It's a little town 20 minutes North of the Puerto Vallarta airport.
Now there was something Special and Magical about this place. It's obvious because now it's totally built up but when I was there it was small.
The first time I visited we went with friends to discover Puerto Vallarta. and of course we went out to where Night of the Iguana was filmed. Richard Burton had filmed it here and here is where Elizabeth Taylor had openly showed their love for one another and bought property. I was told they also owned the Fred's Trailer Park in Bucerias. I don't know for sure if that's true but that's the story I heard.
I hadn't thought about that until I read that Liz passed away yesterday. I can imagine how she must have loved it there. They say that it was just a tiny fishing village then and that 1/2 the people had never heard of her.
Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you. At the year of our first winter Angel and I went back to Bucerias- I call it my Mexican Roots as that's where I first went and fell in love with Mexico.
Here's a video.
Here's an interesting article about it by By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2011/03/23/elizabeth-taylor-looking-back-at-an-adventure/
It is understandable that both he and Miss Taylor should have fallen so in love with this tropical village. For here they have been able to act much like honeymooners blissfully in love.
Local cab drivers point out to tourists “Casa Kimberley,” the luxurious villa nestled high on a rocky hillside where the famous couple live together
Each morning a candy-striped jeep, boldly inscribed on its side with the words “Casa Kimberley” calls for Burton at the entranceway of the house.
The actor jumps in beside the driver and, as the jeep makes its perilous way down the cobblestone streets, narrowly avoiding pigs, burros, and half-naked children, Burton will turn to wave a last goodbye to Elizabeth, standing smiling down at him from the balcony of their home.
Around noon, the jeep will return for Miss Taylor and drive her to the beach where she will board their boat, “The Taffy,” to make the 67 mile trip down coast to Mismaloya, the location site of Burton’s film, “Night of the Iguana.”
After spending the afternoon with him, on the set, they will board the boat together shortly before dusk to return to Casa Kimberley.
During the evenings, the couple will dine alone at home or will join friends in one of the six restaurant-bars in town.
Even to one spending just a few days in Puerto Vallarta, it becomes obvious that the charm of this tropical land has had its magical effect on Liz and Burton. Where they tried deliberately not to be seen in public in both Rome and London, here in Mexico they make almost a show out of publicly acting like a couple in love. Their attitude seems to say: “We adore each other and are proud of it. We want the whole world to know how we feel.” There is not a soul in Puerto Vallarta who could remain oblivious to that fact.
Here's a good Website on Puerto Vallarta- The Banderas News
http://www.banderasnews.com/vallarta-photos/north-coast-bucerias.htm
Sorry I had a map here but it's really slowing down my blog, just google Bucerias and click maps.
We have some excellent amigos that live and work in Bucerias at the Costa Dorada. I made this website(they've changed it a bit) just before Angel was conceived.

Mexican Souvenirs

These are some of the beautiful souvenirs we brought home from Oaxaca. We bought alot of chocolate, but ate almost all of it before we got home. We had Hot Chocolate every day for breakfast. It was delicious.
We spent 17 days in Oaxaca. It was fantastic. I feel so blessed that we experienced it. We loved walking up to Santa Domingo each day, exploring the area. We visited Monte Alban and saw parades and watch the Silent Procession during Semana Santa, an incredibly moving experience.
Angel loved it, she learned where chocolate came from and it was the highlight of the day going in and having a little sample. The markets are easy to get to and the Zocalo is beautiful. Lots of gorgeous architecture, especially the church. The Cathedral in the Zocalo has beautiful windows with angels etched in them.
The handmade embroidered clothes are breath taking and so are the rugs and wooden toys. There is so much to see in Oaxaca. I highly recommend you all visit Oaxaca City.

Happy Friday Everyone, Have a Great Weekend, here's a Beautiful Message From Pacha Mama to Share with All Your Friends and start things off right!

http://www.facebook.com/PachamamaAlliance
Heart Storming- Come! Watch, Help Share Mother Earth's Message
Latest News
http://www.pachamama.org/category/news/
The Awakening the Dreamer communities in Mexico and Korea recently learned just how powerful each individual can be when they synergize their efforts and act in concert with others with common interests and aspirations.
In each country, the Symposium message is gaining momentum, and about to grow even more powerfully.
A vibrant group of Mexican Facilitators came together for two days in a very powerful and energizing planning session to determine their vision, mission, leadership, and strategic partners.
Mexican Facilitators left their planning session with a Mexican council in place, and concrete actions to coordinate and support their fast growing Facilitator body.
In Korea, Dr. Ken Gimm, with his very active fellow Facilitators, started to organize their actions and inspired more than 100 trained Facilitators in just over one year!
In 2011 Korea has set the bar with a goal of presenting the Symposium to 10,000 individuals and training 200 Facilitators.
If so, we invite you to join the 4YG Mobilizers – the precious and audacious people who are leading the expansion of the 4YG declaration worldwide, honoring our commitment to create a new future for humanity by the end of 2014.
Join others like you from all parts of the globe interested in spreading FOUR YEARS. GO. through the arts, media, social media, speaking engagements, youth, organizations, special events and one-on-one conversations.
We regularly hold inspiring conference calls where we provide a rich array of training and development.
We also interact with each other in our online community and occasionally get together virtually for Mobilizer Summits.
Our very first virtual Mobilizer summit will be held on April 16, 2011 with sessions available to accommodate all time zones.
If you are interested in joining the Mobilizers and/or want to participate in the virtual summit, please contact marilyn@fouryearsgo.org.
We invite you to join the team that will change the course of history in the next four years!

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest to preserve their lands and culture and, using insights gained from that work, To educate and inspire individuals everywhere to bring forth a thriving, just and sustainable world.Our Story
The Pachamama Alliance was born in response to a request from the Achuar, an indigenous people deep in the Amazon region of Ecuador. The Achuar made the courageous decision to seek a partnership with people from the industrialized world who would work with them in protecting their rainforest home and their traditional way of life. Out of this unique partnership, it has become evident that indigenous wisdom and insight offer enormous value in addressing the complex issues that we face in our modern world.

Gloria's Shambhala-Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico
http://www.advantagemexico.com/shambhala/index.html
Imagine a far-off place somewhere in time -- where smiles warm like the rays of sunshine -- where friendships are born together in a common dream -- enjoying nature in all it's splendor, or simply sunbathing away the hours in an enchanted setting.
A place where the pace you set is your own and where there are no strangers. The incredible skies, the dome of infinity, the energy from the earth, the never ending stars, the breath of the great wind and the waves of the sea. You can create your own reality. Shambhala is whatever you would like it to be. Nature is a oneness with the earth and a oneness with oneself.
Gloria's Shambhala is located in the state of Oaxaca on Mexico's pacific coast about sixty miles south of Puerto Escondido and three miles north of Puerto Angel in a small village called Zipolite.
LOOKING FOR AN ADVENTURE OR A NEW LIFESTYLE?
At Gloria's Shambhala in beautiful Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico,there is space and
good will for any genuine spiritual self-awareness group to establish a long term presence.
In Shambhala living is not expensive,and most visitors arrive here "looking" for something.
We are offering for lease (w/options)for spiritual inner growth workshops; massage therapy,yoga, meditation, ceramics, painters, or any field which feeds the soul --or anyone wishing to run a vegetarian restaurant.
If you think we may have some common spiritual ground to work with, and if you would like to open this door to another adventure in living,visit us.
At this time our facility includes rustic private rooms, dormitories, meditation areas & a complete restaurant,all which may be expanded to accommodate your specific needs.
We would like to attract visitors which may have visited an Ashram or Wat --perhaps one who is looking to fill a hole in their life with spiritual inner-growth in this pristine natural environment.
If your curious. . . Join us. . .Let's talk. Who knows, this may be a fantasy dream come true.
Namaste, Gloria Esperanza.

Zipolite Paintings by Tina Winterlik

My Zipolite Paintings
In Feb 2001 a terrible fire burned my camera along with my cabana in Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico.
In a effort to capture the beauty of the environment around me, I started to paint. At first they were really bad. I did not know if I could paint.
In junior high I had wonderful teachers but in senior highschool I had been very discouraged by my art teacher, which is why I decided to take photography instead.
Anyways after many paintings I realized I did have talent. In a bizarre way the fire was a good thing.
If not for the fire, I would never have painted the many painting that I did.
I hope you like them

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com
San Miguel de Allende is a place I have always dreamed about visiting. Beautiful Architecture and it's super artsy. I have a friend that visits quite often and he share great stories with me. For me the most wonderful part would be drawing and painting those gorgeous old buildings & sharing this Rich Culture with my daughter as it is an important part of her culture and heritage.
Today Susan Weiss of Business of Arts https://scwr4.wordpress.com recommended a website "Falling in Love with San Miguel" to me and I loved it and I wanted to share it with you.
I love their Intro page, it's so inviting, definitely going to be following this site more.
http://www.fallinginlovewithsanmiguel.com/
Welcome to San Miguel de Allende and to Mexico, through our website and our two books, including brand new The Best How-To Book on Moving to Mexico!
Welcome to San Miguel de Allende and Mexico, via the experiences of Carol Schmidt (right) and Norma Hair, pictured enjoying the Dolores Hidalgo Jardin.
We'll show you how to live your dreams in Mexico and in San Miguel de Allende, which is a UNESCO World Heritage city; a writers, musicians, actors and artists colony; and a tourist draw for Mexicans seeking to recapture their own historic and cultural roots in the hundreds of fiestas and celebrations throughout the year.
Be sure to read "Carol's Blog," "Norma's Kitchen," our forums that have more a thousand registered forum members, the SMA FAQs, the 1,400 pictures of life in San Miguel de Allende and Mexico in the Photo Gallery, our list of recommended businesses and services, and the links to smamap.com, SMA weather, and current money exchange rates.

About San Miguel de Allende from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Miguel_de_Allende
San Miguel de Allende is a city and municipality located in the far eastern part of the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. It is 274 km from Mexico City and 97 km from the state capital of Guanajuato.[1]
Historically, the town is important as the birthplace of Ignacio Allende, whose surname was added to the town’s name in 1826, as well as the first municipality declared independent of Spanish rule by the nascent insurgent army during the Mexican War of Independence.
However, the town waned during and after the war, and at the beginning of the 20th century, was in danger of becoming a ghost town.
Its Baroque/Neoclassical colonial structures were "discovered" by foreign artists who moved in and began art and cultural institutes such as the Instituto Allende and the Escuela de Bellas Artes.
This gave the town a reputation, attracting artists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, who taught painting. It also attracted foreign art students, especially former U.S. soldiers studying on the G.I. Bill after the Second World War.
Since then, the town has attracted a very large number of foreign retirees, artists, writers and tourists, which is shifting the area’s economy from agriculture and industry to commerce catering to outside visitors and residents.
The main attraction of the town is its well-preserved historic center, filled with buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. This and the nearby Sanctuary of Atotonilco have been declared a World Heritage Site. Read More Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Miguel_de_Allende
Industry-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Miguel_de_Allende
Industry is not as well developed here as in other parts of the state although it provides about 33% of the jobs. One important industry is the production of electrical energy. Other industries include metal products, food processing, wood products and mineral processing.[1]
The area is known for the crafting of objects from brass and glass. Two notable artisans here are the brothers Marcelino and Abeck Leon Rosa, who produce handmade glass items. They began producing pieces in the courtyard of their home, but today they have a studio with two large workshops and operate a school for glassmakers, which trains about 50 people per year. One of their specialties is Tiffany-style lamps.[19]
A more recent development is the use of the town as a backdrop for the production of films and television programs. Both Mexican and foreign productions have been shot here, many of which feature gunfights by mustached protagonists.
Projects that have been filmed here include Once Upon a Time in Mexico, a television biopic of the Francisco "Pancho" Villa, and The Mask of Zorro II. A group of entrepreneurs is working to increase the town's reputation as a film location, opening a privately financed studio complex called The Film Colony.
