“NOCHE DE LA IGUANA” – MISMALOYA |
In 1963, Puerto Vallarta became famous, thanks to the filming of Tennessee Williams´ “Night of the Iguana.” With approximately 2,000 now people living in Mismaloya, it is still a small village, and there is poverty. Most of the nicest homes are on the hill overlooking the cove where Ava Gardener danced barefoot on the sand.

HERMOSA MISMALOYA – ATRÁS DE LA CARRETERA – ACROSS THE HIGHWAY – BEAUTIFUL MISMALOYA
|
The clinic took place in the village kindergarden, which provided a large space and open air. Unfortunately, our banners had been stolen at a recent clinic, so we had no signage and no way for people to see the clinic walking or driving by the school. Our first day, usually our slowest, was our busiest. Thirty-eight cats and dogs were brought in from Boca, el Nogalito and Mismaloya. On my way there again on Friday morning, I saw a small, grey Terrier, tongue hanging out, running rapidly down the two-lane, curvy coastal “highway.” Afraid it would be hit, I drove slightly ahead of the frantic dog, stopped the car, jumped out and tried to grab it. I tried this several times without success, so followed the exhausted dog two miles into Mismaloya.

volunteering twice at week at our clinics, once or twice a week at the Acopio as a dog walker, and once or twice a week with Rubbish Rebels collecting trash near playa los muertos and the río cuale. She and Dave will return in December because they have “fallen in love with Puerto Vallarta.”
Another great volunteer who left town is Ian Duncanson, a 15-year old high school student from Mill Valley, California. Ian volunteered twice a week at clinics and twice a week at an orphanage for over a month. He told his parents that volunteering here had been a “life-changing experience.”
