Crazy Nelly

Photography and story by Adam Caddell

Well, it’s about that time again folks.  November 1st is fast approaching and hotel and restaurant owners are rejoicing, for there is no season like high season.

 Various businesses all around Jaltemba Bay are starting to re-stock and get ready for the wave of both short and long term visitors.

The coasters are being stacked and beds are getting made. Its crunch time in paradise and the stakes are high. Semana Santa came too early in 2008 for the gringo community who would rather not deal with the loud stereos and large crowds, cutting the season short.  For a community that heavily relies on tourism, summer break wasn’t a picnic.

“OK, it was a nice vacation,” says Natalie West. “but, I’m ready to start working again.”

Natalie West of Crazy Nelly’s has just opened her doors and is excited for what the new season will bring. “I’m excited to see old friends, and make new ones.” says Natalie.

Natalie or “Nelly” as her friends call her, grew up in Northern California. A constant visitor to Mexico, Natalie got to see the whole country via ferry, car and even a private jet.

“The plane was great; it was a lot of fun,” says Natalie. “But the Ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan was insanity!”

After climbing the corporate ladder in the mortgage business, Natalie decided to settle down in Jaltemba at the house she inherited from her late father, one of the original houses in the residential area.

“I loved the area, the friendliness and how far but conveniently located it is to Puerto Vallarta.”

With the capital she needed to start a business in Mexico; Natalie was looking for a location to start her dream sports bar, and jumped at the chance when Ricardo’s Pizzeria was up for sale. Crazy Nelly’s now running for almost two years, brings Northern Californian charm to a funky Mexican palapa.

Crazy Nelly’s is a great nightspot, especially during high season, where the party can keep going until early in the next morning. “There are those who call it a night at 9 pm, and then there are others who keep on going till 3 in the morning!” remarks Natalie.

With an already established client base, Natalie welcomes customers of all ages with open arms; the only catch is that they are young at heart.

This year the popular sports bar will add two more flat screen TV’s and a revamped menu for all those who love good pub grub.

Letters to the Editor

Hi,

I just read the newspaper and I love it!! Due to limited internet time while
in La Penita trailer park last year (we absolutely loved the park and all
the people there) I was unable to read the newspaper.

Carole sent me the reminder again and so I just looked it up and it brought
back so many memories - now I am really looking forward to coming back in
November. You bring everything to life!! Once I complete this email I am
going to go to the "Learning Spanish" section - what a gift to people like
me. So thanks in advance.

I have several questions!
1. We have a 1997 Alpenlite 5th wheel for sale and wonder if any of the
Canadian or American folks would be interested in purchasing it. How do I go
about advertising it in this wonderful newspaper?

2. I would like to have internet service in La Penita as we now have a place
of our own. Where do I get it from and how do I go about it? Is there
English spoken at the place you will recommend to me? (I hope)

3. I also require cell phone service and hope you can direct me to a place
where I can get both a cell phone and a plan.

Thank you so much, I appreciate answers to the questions when you have the
time. I'm so glad Carole brought you into my life!!

Sincerely,
Greta Farina
Kamloops, BC Canada
 

Well..hello..and happy news for us..Fransisco from Interactive Tech Support Center fixed our computer and it was all due to dust. We need a fan down by the tower. AND he knows what is wrong with the laptop screen and is sure he can fix that as well!!! The first cost was a mere 100 pesos!!! He is GOOOOD!!! And he arrived at 8 p.m. to reinstall the computer!!! Good service with English and reasonable prices!!! So all is good on that level.

Hope you are both having a good time..All is good with the kids and Dylan is hard at it with her school work.. Have FUN ...talk sooner.
