Acapulco is devastated after Hurricane Otis hit the coast. New floating docks at Las Piedras Pier is completed. We react to an American blogger who criticizes Puerto Vallarta, and an opinion piece on foreigners and Day of the Dead. PLUS: A well-informed article on son jarocho.

SEAPAL announces water cuts for today. A triathlon is announced. Otis touched land in Acapulco as a Category-1 hurricane. Farmers’ markets return. PLUS: A whole bunch of free Day of the Dead events for your consideration.

My bad—Tropical Storm Otis is headed for Guerrero. The giant Catrina assembly has begun on the Malecón. PLUS: A magical walk through downtown Tlaquepaque.

Puerto Vallarta has the fifth highest perception of security in the country. Hurricane Norma left behind minor damage in the city. Meet Otis, the newest tropical storm. They say they’ll change the path of the Pitillal River. PLUS: Another botanical garden in the region. (And how nice it is to be back home!)

It’s all about silliness with cluster friend Logan Miller, aka Muffin, who teased us earlier this week with his own electrical meltdown at Villa Lola, his place of employment, while a Hollywood star was enjoying the property. Needless to say, we wanted details!

In this pre-recorded edition of Coffee & Headlines we touch base on the municipality of Tlaquepaque, and why you may want to visit sometime. We take a closer look at October 12, Day of Indigenous Resistance and offer a few books that will help you get closer to Mexico.
