Mexico Nostalgia: Charming Pueblos
()
About this ebook
The latest amplified edition with narrative and lyric support is a visual sharing of experiences captured by the author / poet / photographer. It embraces a rich and romantic tradition that has remained virtually unchanged in historically preserved areas of Mexico.
Pueblos presented are in areas of Puerto Vallarta in the state of Jalisco, Cuyutlán in the state of Colima, and Zihuatanejo, or 'Zihua' as it is affectionately known, in the state of Guerrero along Mexico's west coast. The more recent development of Ixtapa near 'Zihua' is included while not claiming the same historical prominence as with the other locations. Also included is the coastal pueblo of Loreto located in the state of Baja California Sur on the shore of the Sea of Cortez. The village is known for its historical importance and ecological resource opportunities.
Each chapter is a montage photo presentation illustrating the rustic pueblo environment and lifestyle often missed by the casual outsider while visiting the area. Included also are original poems by the author written from experience to introduce and enhance the visual presentation of each location. Throughout is portrayed the magic of Mexico as a dedication to its humble and proud tradition. The storyline viewing is of a personally passionate journey welcomed by casual congeniality, exotic food and drink, and a stimulating environment.
Viewing the photos with narrative and lyrics will be nostalgic for some and a vicarious new adventure for others. All will be exposed to a gentle culture embraced and preserved by each of the four Mexican locations bordering the Pacific Coast and Sea of Cortez.
