I recently used a computer shop in La Paz to repair my wife's Mac Book. Their service was excellent!!! and I'm a computer geek. I just found out that they not only are an authorized Mac repair shop but they also repair Window's computers. When you bring an item to the shop, these guys inventory everything you bring (so nothing is misplaced) and email you when the job is complete. Their English is great. Their prices are very good, considering the quality of their work - excellent. The company infor: Kreasoft, 298 Aquiles Serdan e/Rosales y Allende, La Paz. 612 125 8286. Web site: www.kreasoft.com.mx

THUMBS UP!
We had Dinner last night at the new restaurant on the highway (Pizzeria), Wow! The food quality was impressive and the quality of the service was exceptional.
The Ambiance was very nice and was greatly enhanced by the Charisma and charm of the Greek Chief who will speak to you in a charming Greek accent to explain the preparation of various dishes and will make recommendations which tends makes dinner an event to remember. We have to rate the experience a “10” without question.  Bob & Susie

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a. Removing rusted lug nuts: Try any of your rust inhibitor sprays and just keep on spraying and waiting, eventually it will soak through the threads and the nuts will come right off. It might take a day or two, but they will come off.....And, when you are trying to break the nuts free, use an extension on the handle of your lug wrench...anything that is 3 or 4 feet long and will fit over the lug wrench--sometimes a piece of 1-inch or 2-inch pipe will work. With that leverage, it WILL come off....Bill

b. FM STAMPING IN OR OUT

       (1)   My experience with FM3 stamps on flying out/driving back was YES get your book stamped when you return to Baja. Drive to the airport and get it done there. All exit stamps must have a corresponding return entry. I saved my Ensenada toll road receipt (first point of re-entry and it's dated) and the immigration agent redialed his date stamp to correspond to the receipt and stamped my book. Seifert Marsha seifertsinbaja@prodigy.net.mx

       (2)  In answer to the person who wanted to know regarding getting his FM-3 stamped at the border. In the past one had an FM-3 or FM-2 in the form of a booklet and as per the law one had to have his FM-3 or FM-2 stamped every time one entered or exited the country. Now the FM-3 and FM-2 are ID cards and there is no such requirement. One who holds such immigration documents now have to get an FMM at the point of entry and give it back at the point of exit.
       One must be aware that it is not necessary to hold an FM-3 OR FM-2 because one has a real estate property or a business. The only reason for one to hold an FM-3 OR FM-2 is if one is in the country for more than 180 days other wise one can enter and exit with only an FMM which replaced the FMT (tourist card). The maximum stay is 180 days and one must exit the country at the end of the indicated period on the FMM.
       One should have an FM-2 if one is living in Mexico, in other word has immigrated, and has property so as to be able to be completely or partially exempt from ISR tax (capital gain tax) at the time of selling the property or if one wants to acquire the Mexican Nationality.
