'Happenings' in the Bucerias & Vallarta area (hair, pesos, school)

[SarahSal]

Thought it might be interesting to see events in this part of the world and get a real sense of the place - even though the season is winding down for some. This is an e-mail from a wonderful lady named Valiene who's done much for the community (including building an orphange - and a children's library) and also keeps hundreds (maybe thousands) informed each week! It is a very busy place..
