Tomorrow Monday the 22nd is the grand opening of the 40,000 sq foot Butterfly Experience in Puerto Magico opens.
There is a couple bars, a snack counter, and a stage where live performances will be happening.
It is in the main area of the plaza on the right-hand side just past my churro cart from the main entrance. And please stop by and try some free samples of my version of a churro. Instead of hard and crunchy, they are soft and chewy.

This coming Saturday the 27th is another huge party in Ramblasas. This is not geared toward tourists or expats but what real parties are like. The VIP section has tables with 4 chairs and normally costs 1,500 pesos but includes a bottle of whisky or tequila and they will bring you cups, ice, and all the mixes you want. These tables are right in front of the Bullriders.
The party starts at about dark and goes on until about 5am with dancing and lots of drinking.
The music will be VERY VERY loud, so loud that in our house you can see ripples from the bass in a glass of water. The entire football field will be filled with a huge stage and people. Tons of kids and teens as well. In the many years of living here and attending many of these parties, there has never been even one problem so safety is not an issue.
Beers and drinks will be for sale as well as entire bottles.
On Sunday the 28th we have the Carnival Firenze Inaugural Cruise so my alarm will be set for 5.30 am. That is if we can even get any sleep.
I am not complaining at all about the party and hope everyone has a great time. We choose to live here and this only happens about 20 times per year. I just wish it was not the day before a cruise ship. I have a lot of friends on this sailing so my churro stand will be very busy.
And do not forget to stop by my churro stand in Puerto Magico and taste some free samples. If you buy a bag of churros, Cacao Magico will give you a cup of coffee at a discounted price of 30 pesos. Plus I have discounted coupons for Cacao Magico the chocolate factory and Regions for some of their handcrafted art from different regions in Mexico.

Hello to everyone,,,
I am currently running a mini churro stand and I need to hire a team to run the stand and replace me, so I can open a second mini donut stand.
I am looking for energetic young individuals who can create a fun and inviting environment for potential customers.
At the start, the job would consist mostly of handing samples to those walking by, and occasionally cooking mini churros. Though, either opening or closing chores are also part of the shift and your duties.
Eventually, I would want to leave two people in each shift and let them complete their duties and sell on their own, though I would have to manage them.
My overall goal, though, is to find someone who can manage the stand, like I would, as well as the purchases, sales, and employees. This would allow me to move on, and open a second stand, which would be for mini donuts.

--- Requirements ---
There are not necessarily any requirements education and/or experience wise. Truthfully, we value more your personality and energy. For this job, it is important to be outgoing, or at least be able to act in that manner. Also to be quick, and to be able to multitask.

--- Expectations ---
This job is relatively simple, and there is not much that must me done. Though, you definitely have to be outgoing with the costumers, and have initiative to sell. This means conversing, giving advice, and being very welcoming to potential buyers when handing samples.

--- Schedules ---
Honestly, we are very flexible with schedules and hours worked. We want to divide the day into two shifts, morning and evening, but if you can’t work a whole shift because of your school or other activities, we understand and can work around it. It is all a matter of commutating your needs and coming to an agreement.
Though, on a normal schedule we would like to have the morning shift from 8 am-2 pm, and the evening shift from 2 pm-8 pm
Sundays would be a definite day off, and depending on the cruise ship schedule and business of the week, there might also be a second day.

--- Payroll ---
Just as we are with hours, we are very flexible with pay. There are multiple options for pay.
The first option is a fixed salary, which is a certain number per hour. The amount per hour is negotiable, and can vary depending on how successful you are at this job.
The second option is minimum wage per hour, plus a commission for each of your sales. The percentage is also negotiable, though 10% is preferred.
Lastly, if you were to grow inside this business and mange the stand and employees, you would receive a percentage of all income. Most likely, it would be 25%.

"On August 8th 1982 a line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy, Jonathan Keane, in the head at Fenway Park. Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy.
"He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors
said Jim's prompt actions were instrumental in saving the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A real badge of courage.
"After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the medical bill be
sent to him.
"The spring following the incident, Jonathan was asked to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Red Sox's home game opener. He gladly accepted and had the opportunity to reconnect with Rice."
