Tracking the Heartbeat of Banderas Bay
Banderas Beat with Laura Gelezunas
 In this edition of Banderas Beat, Laura takes us to Paso Ancho for the Santa Teresa Jesus celebration, where she joins in the fun and games at the traditional party that's been taking place in this Puerto Vallarta neighborhood for the last 40 years.
 She also tells us about the Fourth Annual Pet Picnic at Daiquiri Dick's, which is scheduled to take place this year on December 5th, with proceeds going to Ayuda a los Animales, part of the PEACE non-profit association. And speaking of Daiquiri Dick's, Laura talks to Chef Hnoi Latthitham, who tells us about the restaurant's new private label wine and how the partnership with the Rutherford Wine Company in Napa Valley came to fruition.
 Even the shortest of visits will open your eyes to the extraordinary number of things to see and do in Puerto Vallarta, so we've developed Banderas Beat, a monthly "INFOtainment" program that's not just for tourists - but for anyone with an interest in keeping their fingers on the pulse of the city.
 Every month, Banderas News video journalist Laura Gelezunas will use her years of experience as an on-camera reporter in the U.S. along with her extensive knowledge of the Puerto Vallarta area to bring you informative and entertaining video reports covering everything from the hottest places to eat, drink and shop to information about Banderas Bay area attractions, events, and charitable organizations.
 So, whether you're a first-time visitor looking for travel advice, inside tips and recommendations or a long-time resident that just wants to keep up with what's new, where it's at, and when it's happening in Puerto Vallarta - you'll find it on Banderas Beat. |
