To all our friends in Baja:
As Mary and Buzz told you, my dad passed away the morning of Christmas Eve. We are all grateful that he caught one last marlin on his one last trip down there over Thanksgiving. The entire family and close friends will be spreading his ashes off Hotel Buena Vista on May 7th, which is right before his birthday and our favorite family time of year down there. Blessings to you all; and to the many who have expressed condolences, thank you.

ROAD REPORTS

a. Received 12-25-10 @1pm: I just spoke with the Old Mill in San Quintin. They say they are having nothing but sunshine, and they haven't heard of any road problems. Jill

b. Received 12-26-10 8:30pm: Road report
We have just travelled down the Baja and are sitting in the restaurant at Trapoli. We crossed the border at TJ on Christmas morning (no traffic). The weather has been perfectt. We suspect that we're between storms. Christmas day we drove to Catavina with no problem. There is some road construction north of St. Tomas that was for about 6 kms. Not a problem during the dry weather that we had. Next day we drove to tripuli south of Loretto. Roads were good! As usual watch for cattle and dogs. And, oh yes, also watch for bicycles (those people have death wishes - and may not realize that they put others at risk as well). We plan to arrive in Los Barriles tomorrow! Can't wait! See you soon! Catie & Gord

QUESTIONS

   Answer from BPE#880: Windshield Repair In La Paz - We have all experienced the small
   crack in the windshield which creeps and grows till the windshield has
   to be replaced. To stop that crack before it grows I can recommend
   Carlos in La Paz. His phone number is 612 348 2652. He speaks some
   English and fixing cracked windows is his specialty. He is located on
  Jalisco. I'm not good with the street names in La Paz, but you head
   towards the ocean on Jalisco till you come to a Pemex on your right,
   then katy-corner to the pemex is a lot selling used cars and his
   little business is in that lot. He did the repair right away and for
   300 pesos. - Jennifer
