DOG CERTIFICATE DISCUSSION

a.  Answer to dog health certificates when driving:  We’ve driven back and forth with several dogs for over 10 years, and we have never been asked for health certificates for them at border crossings, although we always have them in hand.  The only thing the US customs has asked about is dog food.  They have confiscated any extra dog food beyond that day’s food for the dog (at border crossings and in airports).
=================================

Restaurant Campestre in the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve, by the el Chorro Hot Springs, will be opening for the next few weekends till Semana Santa, from Friday to Sunday, noon till 6 pm.  Authentic Mexican ranchero food including Birria de Res (beef stew), Borego asado (local lamb), hot tamales and other favorite dishes will be served.   Plan for a day of hiking, swimming, soaking in the hot springs, with a great meal before or after.   There is a 20 peso charge to enter the park.  Go to Santiago, past the Zoo and straight on the dirt road for 10 km to Agua Caliente,  3km more to el Chorro. Turn right after park entrance.

I will be showing my new Exvoto Paintings at the Arts Festival
in Los Barriles on April 3rd.
This Mexican Folk Art is a tradition of giving thanks to
someone (usually a Saint) for a miracle (milagro).
My theme this year is animals! For example, the Rooster tells
the hen they must give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the
miracle that the farmer is a vegetarian. This painting is sold but come see
what the cow, the dove, the whale and the goat have to be thankful for! 
I will also be showing my small watercolours and some paintings by
