I cannot find my GE digital camera. It is in a brown , padded, case, with velcro closer that barely closes, with a long over the shoulder strap. I possibly had it at Tio Pablos on Monday March 29 or El Barrilito on Tuesday March 30. We left Los Barriles on April 1 and I could not find it the last day of packing and thought maybe it was already packed. But, alas, it did not get home with me. If anyone has found it, let me know and I will contact a friend to pick it up for me. Thanks for your help. Patti <jenepatti1955@yahoo.com>
======================================

LAST day to buy Bocce Ball tickets Monday April 12, 2010 from 9-11 at The Roadrunner!!
This has to be the last day so we can make teams.
If you do not want to play come and buy a dinner ticket, we will be having chicken, potato salad and beans!
===============================

We traveled north to Tecate border crossing, April 1-3. The dessert flowers were beautiful. Stayed in a very nice motel about 2 miles north of Colonet on the west side of the road. Not sure if we remember the name, possibly Sonora. It is a reddish brown building. It was only 300 pesos, they spoke English and our room had a nice hot shower and big fluffy towels. They were also pet friendly. The roads were in good shape. The construction we encountered coming down on Hiway 3 was completed. We were in line for an hour at the border, but had fun, buying food from the venders. The tamales and churros were still hot and delicious. We crossed the day before the earthquake. Looking forward to coming back in November. Patti
===========================================

We want to jump on the "bandwagon" and encourage all, regardless of age, to visit the WET FUN water park in Caduano. We stopped by the park today on our way home from the airport and were astounded by what we saw. We hadn't been to the park since 2004 very early in its development. It truly rivals water parks we've visited in the states. WET FUN has parks, pools, slides, concessions, tranquility, excitement and more recreation than you can imagine. And you'll love the quiet places--the small parks or sitting areas where people can just relax while the kids are having a blast in a safe environment. Larry, Adela, and Jaimi have created something we can all be proud of visiting with our kids, grandkids, and other house guests. Advertising, signs, etc. are so costly that right now word-of-mouth is the park's best chance. WET FUN is open from 10-6 Thurs.-Sunday once Easter break is over, and admission is nominal (150 pesos for adults; 100 for kids). A number of us are heading over there Sunday for the day; come join us. It's easy to find--just turn into Caduano off the main highway and you can't miss it. (By the way, visitors are discouraged from bringing their own food and drink, or coolers.) Ed & Jennifer

A message from Dr. Mary, the chiropractor---Hello East Cape! Thank you for finding your way to the office while I was down this week. I appreciate that you need me and that's what keeps me comin'! :o) I know that I had to leave before seeing everyone who was hoping for care. I'll be back on April 30th for 1 week. Hopefully, we'll connect then. I also want to thank who ever planted the papaya trees next to my wall, last year. I thought that I knew who did that and THEY tell me, now, that they DIDN'T! Some little angel gave them to me and they have grown much. Send your health care questions to drmary@drmary.net  visit the websites at drmarymusic.com   and drmary.net See you in May!
