Trip up to Oaxaca City 2018-Photos #1

Hola Amigos. Lo siento por not posting more. I have been taking a little break and well didn't have time to post many photos. We went to Oaxaca City for a few days to celebrate my birthday. It's quite the journey. The van is about 5- 6hrs and it's really curvy. We took Dramamine, it helped alot.

Oaxaca was a lot of fun. I love walking around and exploring all the places I used to visit. It was fun to have lunch in the Zocalo. I was so happy to buy some drawing paper and I got a back loom and treated myself to two very pretty dresses that I will treasure forever.

Angel had lots of fun too! I spoiled her with some new clothes and a few accessories, just little things and we drank lots of hot chocolate and looked in lots of stores that they don't have here.

So here are some photos, more to come of our tour we took. Sadly it was cut short because of some problems but it was still fun to visit El Tule, the Teotitlan Rug Museo and the Mezcal Museo where we got to see how Mezcal is made and taste some. That was fun. Seeing how the rugs are made is fascinating too! So stay tuned for more Adventurez In Mexico

YVR airport to San Cristobal de Las Casas #AdventurezInMexico

Hola Amigos, so this is the journey so far. I hope you like it.

If you do like and are able could make a little donation to my Patreon and help support us a little. Think about it! I would really appreciate it! Gracias. https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?c=210166

Adventurez In Mexico is a blog about the Journey of a Canadian Mother and Child(whose father is Mexican) and their Adventurez and they travel, learn and explore the Mexican landscapes, language and cultural traditions.

Tina, who goes by Cristina aqui and Angel, but they like to call her Angela, became pregant in Mexico but due to circumstances such as 9//11 and other issues returned to Canada to have her child. She could not return until Angel was 6, then again at 7 and at 10, she managed to get the money to come to Mexico for 5 months. The father helped with the first trip but after Tina has raised her child alone as the child's father is poor. Oaxaca is a very poor state. People are lucky if the make $20 a day. Now Tina, me, I have managed to get back for Angel's 15th year, a very important year in a young Mexican woman's life. We will have a tiny Quinceañera
But really just coming to Mexico is the gift. Stay tuned for our Adventurez In Mexico as we will be here until the end of February. Follow along and learn what it is like to live like Mexicans in Oaxaca do. Come visit. Come to Zipolite, West Jet is going to have a big sale in November...if you coming please let me know...I need some things, like eucalytus oil and probably more lavender.

We have a wish list,
2 fishing rods,
2 old bikes
a bunk bed, so Angel can have her own bed
things like that. Not much...

Okay, besos y abrazos!
Zipolita (Cristina) y Angelita (Angela) really Tina and Angel but they change our names here..
They don't like the name Tina...it means bathtub and they think Angel is a boy's or mans name so they change it...to Angela. Different cultures...did you learn something...we will teach you lots.

Stay tuned for more Adventurez In Mexico #AdventurezInMexico

Heart Storming- Come! Watch, Help Share Mother Earth's Message

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

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!

Heart Storming- Come! Watch, Help Share Mother Earth's Message

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.

Awakening The Dreamer

Mexico and Korea:

Awakening the Dreamer Set for Further Expansion

Posted on March 4th, 2011

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.

Both communities in Korea and Mexico serve as inspiring examples of what can happen when groups of like-minded people come together to create a vision with a plan for action.

I LOVE ACAPULCO!!

I don't know who created this video, but really like it.

(Acapulco station balnéaire tres connue pour sa magnifique baie et les plongeurs de la mort qui plongent des falaises de plus de ving cinq metres de hauteur ( english ) Acapulco resort famous for its beautiful bay and the divers who dive cliffs death of over twenty five meters in height ( deutsch ) Acapulco Beach Resort berühmt für seine schönen Bucht und die Taucher, tauchen Klippen Tod von über 2005 Metern Höhe)

Acapulco holds a SPECIAL place in my heart. The first time I ever visited was when I left my job from the cruiselines as a photographer. They cruiseship took me to the airport and basically made sure I was getting on that plane. I was nervous but it's a lovely airport and I had no issues and there used to be a restaurant called Wings, and the ladies were so nice.

Then I returned later, when I wanted a change from visiting Puerto Vallarta. I had been to Zipolite only once and only a day and I wanted to check it out more. My friend had told me wonderful stories, and so the easiest way was to fly into Acapulco. I totally forgot I had been to the airport years before and when I arrived, well it was like coming home.

Acapulco has always been like that for me. I don't know why, it's a big city, so maybe there that connection as I live in Vancouver and it's a big city, but there's so much more. It's magical, the people, the buses, and then miracles that have happened.

I've posted those stories before, about not being able to find a room and then an "angel" called Gabriel found me a $12 room. I was at the end of my journey and just needed to stay one more night and well it all turned out wonderful.

And how once the taxi driver came all the way back after dropping me off at the bus to bring my Spanish dictionary I had left in his cab.

Truely wonderful people have helped us here. Like I said, I love Acapulco. I pray that God and all his Angels smile down on Acapulco and help it through it troubles.

I really like this video. It's inspired me to go back and remake my videos, make them into a film like the original plan. Wish me luck.

WORLD PREMIERE
A magical, realistic journey through the eyes of a woman washed up on the shore in a remote village somewhere in the south of Mexico.

Mysteriously saved by the sea when she washes ashore, Louise immediately becomes the highlight of the village’s residents. From where did she come? What brought her here? Who is she? Louise does not know the answers herself, and as the timid new stranger in this strange world, she convinces herself she has landed in the midst of a strange dream. But when the surreal nightmare persists, Louise slowly releases her anxieties, accepting the culture, love and friendships surrounding her in this beautiful, mystical land.

Director and writer Anita Doron magnificently depicts Louise’s journey of self-discovery with a playful edge. Accompanied wonderfully by a tour guide and clever narration, the story of this woman from the sea reveals the true meaning of what it means to live.

- Tamee Tanoor
