Advertencia sobre cocodrilos / Crocodile Warning

🐊 Advertencia sobre cocodrilos / Crocodile Warning

⚠️ Tenga mucho cuidado en el océano, playas, lagunas y zonas inundables alrededor de Zipolite.
🚫 No permita que niños o mascotas jueguen cerca del agua o en la playa durante o después de la tormenta.
🦎 Los cocodrilos pueden provenir de La Ventanilla si la laguna se desborda por las lluvias o tormentas fuertes.
🐕 En la última ocasión, un cocodrilo atacó rápidamente a un perro en la zona; afortunadamente no hubo niños afectados.
👀 Mantenga vigilancia constante en todas partes y, si ve un cocodrilo, manténgase alejado y notifique a las autoridades locales.

⚠️ Be very careful in the ocean, beaches, lagoons, and flood-prone areas around Zipolite.
🚫 Do not allow children or pets to play near water or on the beach during or after the storm.
🦎 Crocodiles may come from La Ventanilla if the lagoon overflows due to heavy rains or storms.
🐕 Last time, a crocodile quickly attacked a dog in the area; luckily, no children were harmed.
👀 Stay alert everywhere, and if you see a crocodile, keep your distance and notify local authorities immediately.

Huatulco Boat Tour- Dec 2017

Hola Amigos. Feliz Navidad.
Lo siento for not posting more. We were just so busy and I was trying to stay off the social media a bit. I took a ton of photos but it's lot to edit them all and some I can share, some I can't and all the in between, gets complicated and so it's time consuming and right now in this holiday time we just want to relax and have fun right!

So here are a few photos from our tour. I will post more photos as I get to them...they are not in order but it will work out.

Have a great day! Besos y Abrazos!

I need Lavender Oil & Watercolour Paper Please!

(Update: I found a place that sells lavender oil...but it's pretty expensive. Not sure I can afford it ...and definitely not at the moment. )

Hola, if you are coming to Zipolite, Mazunte or even just to Huatulco could you bring me some lavender oil.

If you live in Vancouver could you please visit
Gaia Gardens Herbal Dispensary http://www.gaiagarden.com/
https://www.facebook.com/GaiaGardenHerbals/
near Broadway and MacDonald and get a 100ml bottle of pure 100% pure lavender essential oil and bring it and I will pay you.

I would appreciate so much. Tell Angie, Tina sent you!

The first place we stayed was open and the mosquito net just wasn't working for me and I had a lot of bites and used a lot of lavender. Then we had a little ant infestation at the new place and I have figured out how to deal with them but these little warrior ants are so mean. I am allergic to bites and they leave really itchy welts on me.

I use the lavender in my homemade mosquito/bug repellent and well we are only 2 months in and I only have about 30 ml left.

So please, if you can bring me some I would appreciate it so much. We are here until March.

I also need watercolour paper. Deserres or Opus sell small pads. 140lb weight is great and they are under $10 for about 20 pages. I put everything in storage and accidentally packed the box with my paper. I have paint and no paper.

https://store.opusartsupplies.com/sagro/storefront/store.php?mode=browsecategory&category=5214

I promise to paint you a lovely painting or do something really nice to pay you back for your efforts.

These were all done on the paper they sell here, years ago in 2001, after the fire in Zipolite burned my camera and I re-discovered my talent of drawing and painting- it's just drawing paper, but I would really love some actual watercolour paper. These were digitally enhanced because the paper just won't allow much paint.

https://zipolita.com/watercolour-paintings/

Let me know if you are coming and when you get here please contact me

Thanks again if you can help. If you know anyone heading down here please tell them. You can get the lavender at many stores...Aromaforce is also a economical & good quality. It just needs to be 100% pure lavender essential oil.

Gracias.

Hola Amigos! We Made It!!

Finally! After 5 long years we are back in our beloved Mexico.
I have missed it so bad. I am so happy to be back. I have so much to share. But I will only write a bit right now.

We started down on Sept 27th. We flew from Vancouver to Cancun and stayed 2 nights at the Alux. Then we took an 5 bus ride to Merida. We decided to push on, and spent 4 hours in the bus depot and took a 8.5 hour night bus to Palenque. There I got a room at our favourite place Kim Balam. It's so cool. Close to the ruins and you can hear the Howler monkeys. It rained tons and the little creek by our cabana got so high I got a little scared but it was all good. We had a great day at the ruins and ate great food at Don Muchos at the El Panchan. From there we went to San Cristobal on an 8 hour bus, they don't go through Ocosingo anymore they go around and through Villahermosa. In San Cristobal we spent one night at Le Git de Sol and then spent a great day wandering the streets and checking out all the markets and shops. We had cappuccino at the Gazebo in the Zocalo...the same place I had my first back in 1990. Then we took the 10 hour bus from San Cristobal to Huatulco and had a lovely breakfast and a little tour of the town and then we got in a van to the crossroads in Pochutla and a taxi to Zipolite! And here we are! It was a tough trip traveling so far so fast but rewarding with so many sights and experiences. I have ton of photos to edit and videos to make but internet is slow after the earthquake. So I will do the best I can.

Sending out love and light to you all. So happy to be here again. Home again. Zipolite is my Mexican home, it's where my child was concieved and I have brought her back when she was 6, 7, 10 and now 15. We are here for 5 months.

We will be homeschooling and I will be doing online work. If you need a website or business cards or social media help let me know.

So here's a few photos of our trip. Stay tuned for more Adventurez In Mexico.

Doggies NEED a Chaperone to CANADA!!

Please SHARE!!
https://www.facebook.com/SnipSisters-428720773821212/
Anyone traveling from Huatulco or Puerto Vallarta to Calgary or Vancouver in the next few weeks please let me know.

Either PM me or email me at heidi@snipsisters.com

We are in need of a flight chaperone for two gentle female street dogs that need to get to Canada to find their forever homes!

It is no cost to you, all the paperwork will be in place, EASY PEASY!

From FB https://www.facebook.com/SnipSisters-428720773821212/info/?tab=page_info

The SNIPSISTERS organized two free Spay and Neuter Clinics in the rural Mexican towns of Zimatan and Cuatunalco in December of 2011….and then 2 more clinics in Dec 2012 in Coyula and again in Cuatunalco, with animals coming from the surrounding towns of Las Palmas and El Coyote.

All these communities are near the resort town of Huatulco.

Teaming up with 2 vets and 2 techs from Peace Mexico and a handful of caring volunteers, 237 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered in a total of 8 days in 2011, and 190 more animals were done at the 2012 clinic.

It all began in December of 2010, when SnipSisters Heidi Wagner and Shelagh O’Brien decided to humanely tackle the overpopulation of dogs and cats in the Huatulco area. It is not common in these rural communities to have any companion animals sterilized and it is simply not affordable. As well no Mexican Government programs exist to humanely deal with this issue.

Only a few of these dogs/cats are owned by the people living in these rural communities; the rest are left to fend for themselves, they die from trauma, starvation or disease.

All the dogs/cats in the rural communities live a very free life, they are not in yards, on leashes etc., so when females come into heat, the likely hood of them becoming pregnant is very high.

100% of the funds we raise are used to pay for all medical supplies as well as the Vet Team’s travel expense from Puerto Vallarta to Huatulco. Our goal is to continue running FREE spay/neuter clinics in December of each year, moving from community to community.

Hagia Sophia- Huatulco, Oaxaca

I have never been but definitely would like to check it out one day!

Hagia Sofia is a 130-hectare agro-ecological project located in the mountains of southern Mexico at altitudes between 260-390m above sea level. Visitors can learn about organic/sustainable farming as applied to exotic fruits and flowers from Southeast Asia and Mexico as well as the cultivation of rare timber trees native to Mexico. This unique location is also home to a wide diversity of flora and fauna.
