Colima, Mexico
The state of Colima has one of the smallest territorial expansions in Mexico, yet it's strategically located along the Pacific coast in the southwestern region, making it an important destination. The mountains, warm beaches and abundant marine life are reason enough to visit Colima. About 38 km (24 mi) north of the state capital, you'll find two natural wonders that are ideal for ecotourism outings: El Nevado de Colima, a mountain which is 4,330 meters (14,289 feet) above sea level, and the active Volcan de Fuego (Volcano of Fire), which is 3,960 meters (13,068 feet) above sea level. Located in the Volcan de Colima National Park, you can appreciate its awe-inspiring beauty from the town of Comala, which was the setting for Juan Rulfo's novel Pedro Paramo. There you can try excellent regional cuisine, including sweet bread and mezcal punch. About 12 km (7 mi) from there lies Colima, the state capital, which invites you to visit its Jardin Libertad, the Cathedral and the Palacio de Gobierno, where you'll find interesting murals that chronicle Mexico's history. As for archaeological zones, there's El Chanal, where a unique ideology of time was created. There you'll also see graves known as the Tumbas de Tiro. If you head 20 km (12 mi) from the ruins, you'll arrive at Los Ortices, an important religious center. For some fun in the sun, you can visit Boca de Pascuales, a beach that draws many surfers and is known for its excellent fish and seafood. If you're looking for a different kind of outdoor adventure, you can visit the volcanic islands of the Archipielago de Revillagigedo Biosphere Reserve, where you can spy various birds and sea turtles. Another point of interest is the saltwater Cuyutlan Lagoon and it wildlife conservation center. If you're looking for comfort and exclusivity, the port of Manzanillo, known as the Sailfish Capital of the World, is lined with posh hotels. Manzanillo hosts important international sportfishing competitions, as well as golf and sailing tournaments. You can also enjoy kayaking at the Marabasco River and scuba diving at Isla Navidad, a tourist resort that lies northwest off the coast.

Your cup of tea is a green, classy, quiet mid-size city. Well today's destination - Colima - The Palm Tree City - may just be what you are looking for. The trip from the Pacific Coast to Colima was about two hours with a change of buses at the Manzanilla bus station. This raises the question, how could we possibly not stay in Manzanilla for a day to check out this large coastal city that is indeed home to a fair number of expats. I guess it was panic. Time was passing quickly and if you look at the map that outlines our intended route we still had a long way to go and many destinations to visit. The other theme was that none of our destinations were large cities. We arrived in Colima at about 22:00 in total darkness. It is not a good idea to arrive in a strange city after dark but our routine of getting into a cab and asking the cab driver to take us to a reasonably priced hotel had been well established and it worked out well in Colima as well. Although based on the amount of driving we did in getting to the hotel, I was concerned that we were far from downtown. The next morning proved to be beautiful sunny day. Come to think of it, that was the story every day and it distinguishes Mexico from let's say, Hawaii, at this time of year. Last year at this time we were in Hawaii and more than once we asked ourselves the question: where would we have to go to avoid rain? My answer to Barbara was always - Mexico. So far, this trip validated that answer to be correct. As it turned out our Hotel - La Merced (330 pesos - $33 Can.) was conveniently located at Av. B. Juarez #82 across from a large park - Jardin Nunez. The main street of Colima - Av. Francisco Madero was only a block to the north and the downtown was generally located between Jardin Nunez and the main square - the zocalo to the east. Since Barbara liked to sleep in, I snuck off early in search for my morning fix of coffee. Just before heading east on Av. Madero my attention was drawn to a large church further along Av. B. Juarez. I must admit that churches in Mexico, almost exclusively Catholic, are a focal point that I find irresistible so it wasn't long before I installed myself in a bench near the back of this large church. There was no lack of seating as there were few morning worshippers. I was struck by the absence of male adult worshippers. The congregation was made up of women and children engaged in their morning prayers. I couldn't help but wonder at what age the young boys stopped going to church. At one point however a worker carrying a sack made a brief morning appearance, crossed himself and then headed out the other door. I stuck around just long enough to make a contribution on the collection ...

La falla de San Andres| Recorrido Virtual|4TMEC-AMBI
Es una falla transformante continental que discurre por unos 1300 km a través del estado de California,
en Estados Unidos. Forma el límite tectónico entre la placa Norteamericana y la placa del Pacífico y su desplazamiento
relativo es horizontal dextral (direccional derecho).
Esta falla es famosa por producir grandes y devastadores terremotos. El sistema está compuesto por numerosas fallas
o segmentos. El sistema de fallas de San Andrés termina en el golfo de California.
El deslizamiento lateral medido en el sector central de la falla es de unos 25 mm/año, mientras que en otros,
más alejados de la misma, llega a los 30 mm/año, lo que podría indicar una acumulación de deformación elástica en la zona
de la falla.1
Se considera que la península de Baja California se formó por la actividad de esta falla. Este mismo proceso está
moviendo a la ciudad de Los Ángeles en dirección hacia la bahía de San Francisco (ambas están en lados diferentes de
la falla), acercándolas a una velocidad de unos 4,5 cm por año. Este movimiento es tan lento que no puede ser
percibido a escala humana, pero ha ocasionado numerosos daños a obras de ingeniería como acueductos, carreteras y ranchos.
Debido al movimiento de la placa del Pacífico, que penetra por el golfo de California y hacia el norte de la falla de
San Andrés, en los próximos 50 000 años la península de Baja California se desplazará hacia el norte, separándose
de México y convirtiéndose en una isla. Se calcula que llegará frente a Alaska en unos 50 millones de años.

Puerto Vallarta Downtown, Mexico
Puerto Vallarta, like much of the west coast of North America, is prone to earthquakes, though Puerto Vallarta tends to experience only peripheral effects of earthquakes centered further south. In 1995, an earthquake located off the Colima coast shook the crown from the top of the Roman Catholic Church.
Puerto Vallarta is a very special destination due to its variety and contrasts. For starters, it offers different types of beaches, with many options for fun, relaxation and recreation. Surrounded by the Sierra Madre Mountains, it offers sights and activities related to ecotourism. It is small town, filled with tradition and history, yet at the same time it is cosmopolitan city with vibrant nightlife, world-class cuisine, and a flourishing venue for art and culture. Its proximity to quaint Mexican towns allows you to choose quick get-away to explore places nearby.

Massive Rotating Smoke Plume - Unbelievable Time-lapse!
This towering smoke plume reached about 3 miles (5 km) in height! To put it into context, the trees (that you can barely see) on the mountain are about 50 feet tall! The height measurement was taken using both Lidar and Radar.
This fire was part of a series of prescribed burns in Utah as a way to promote Aspen growth, part of the overall FASMEE project. FASMEE stands for Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment, and is funded by the JFSP. Additionally, various fuel and wildfire research teams collected valuable data at this fire as a way to better understand wildfire behavior. San Jose State University Fire Weather Research Lab deployed their Lidar, Radar, drone, and infrared camera, all as a way to obtain a better insight into plume dynamics. Hopefully, this data will be used in the future as part of the solution to the wildfire crisis.

Tourism in Mexico - Best Tourist Attractions
Mexico is a federal republic in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost two million square kilometers (over 760,000 sq mi), the nation is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent state in the world.
With an estimated population of over 120 million, the country is the eleventh most populous and the most populous Spanish-speaking state in the world while being the second most populous nation in Latin America. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and a special federal entity that is also its capital and most populous city. Other metropolises include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, and Tijuana.
Pre-Columbian Mexico dates to about 8,000 BC, is identified as one of seven cradles of civilization and was home to many advanced Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya and Aztec before first contact with Europeans. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the territory from its politically powerful base in Mexico-Tenochtitlan, which was administered as the viceroyalty of New Spain. Three centuries later, the territory became the current nation following recognition in 1821 after the colony's Mexican War of Independence. The tumultuous post-independence period was characterized by economic inequality and many political deep changes. The Mexican–American War (1846–1848) led to a territorial cession of the extensive northern territories to the United States. The Pastry War, the Franco-Mexican War, a civil war, two empires and the Porfiriato occurred through the 19th century. The Porfiriato was ended by the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system.
Mexico has the fifteenth largest nominal GDP and the eleventh largest by purchasing power parity. The Mexican economy is strongly linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners, especially the United States. Mexico was the first Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), joining in 1994. It is classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country by several analysts. By 2050, Mexico could become the world's fifth or seventh largest economy. The country is considered both a regional power and middle power, and is often identified as an emerging global power. Due to its rich culture and history, Mexico ranks first in the Americas and seventh in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Mexico is a megadiverse country, ranking fourth in the world by biodiversity. In 2016 it was the eighth most visited country in the world, with 35 million international arrivals. Mexico is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G8+5, the G20, the Uniting for Consensus and the Pacific Alliance.

The city is known as the Sailfish Capital of the World. Since 1957, it has hosted important national and international fishing competitions, such as the Dorsey Tournament, making it a very attractive fishing destination. [1]
Manzanillo has become one of the country's most important tourist resorts, and its excellent hotels and restaurants continue to meet the demands of both national and international tourism.
Tourism
The city is well known internationally for deep-sea fishing and the green flash phenomenon during sunsets, as well as the warm waters of the ocean. The city is a destination resort and has many hotels and self-contained resorts, particularly built on peninsula De Santiago jutting out into the Pacific north of the city centre. Also at the North end of Manzanillo bay is the resort Las Hadas (the fairies), which is the most famous of the city's resorts, having been featured in the movie 10 starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore. Beach scenes were filmed on La Audencia Bay, just over the hill from Las Hadas. Manzanillo is a popular cruise ship port of call. Many tourists go from their cruise ships on city tours. Excellent swimming, snorkeling & scuba diving is found in Santiago Bay, a few miles north of the city where a cargo ship sank in a hurricane in 1959. Other wrecks and reefs plentiful with fish are scattered throughout the bay.Manzanillo is known as the Sailfish Capital of the World.
