Note: I have decided to stop any more comments about traffic control unless something really unusual happens.   From my scientific poll, it's a fact, one in twelve will be pulled over. Drive safe out there. Thanks, Cheryl

"Operating under the recycling arm of U Verde, and in search of an answer to the mass of plastic bottles that has accumulated at the East Cape RV Resort waiting for recycling day (July 1st!), I visited yesterday Ambiente, Ciencia, y Desarrollo (Environment, Science, and Development), a recycling facility in La Paz that is melting plastics into plywood-like sheets, suitable for any use that plywood would have- building material, table tops, school desks, etc. The sheets have properties that trump those of plywood; they are water, termite, mold, and heat resistant; do not warp under solvents or alcohols; and, they are an answer to our planet's growing trash problem (anyone been to the basurera lately?). Equally impressive, the facility employees mostly mentally and physically disabled persons, giving them an equal opportunity at safe and stable employment.
We would like to start expanding our small recycling program here in Los Barriles, and include our friends at Ambiente, Ciencia, y Desarrollo. Please check out their website and photos when considering alternative building supplies, and together let's support an incredibly worthy cause.
Keep Recycling!

ROAD REPORT

a. We passed through CC on June 8th without any issues. At the southern
end of the city we turned onto the parallel road to avoid being the
center of attention. We stopped completely for each stop sign and early
for traffic signals. We saw two policemen on the north end of the city
who had stopped two Mexican Nationals. North of Ensenada, we took the
new toll road (no toll yet) from Puerto Nuevo to the Otay Mesa
crossing. Follows the signs to Guarita Otay. It was an easy drive with
little traffic.
In the San Quentin area we stayed at the Mission Santa Maria on the
beach (formerly The Desert Inn, La Pinta). Very nice accommodations and
a good restaurant. 500 pesos plus IVA per night. Very safe. Driving
north on H1 look for the large food processing plant in the grove of
screened growing houses. There is a new Pemex station there, turn left
(heading north), drive through the grove of trees that line the road and
you will see the Hotel off to the left.

THE NEW IMMIGRATION RULES FOR FOREIGNERS, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
To enter and during one stay in Mexico, what does one need as far as papers?

A) For a visit of less than 180 days? Passport and the new FMM form filled out on you at all times.

B) For a visit of more than 180 days? Passport, Visa emitted by a Mexican embassy or Consulate and the FMM form filled out, on you at all times.

To be able to stay in Mexico for longer than 180 days what do I need to do? Acquire a Visa at any Mexican embassy fill out the FMM form and present both along with passport at point of entry and within 30 days request at any immigration office in Mexico an FM-2 or FM-3.

Do I need an FM-3 or FM-2?

A) Because I have real estate property? No, the FMM is sufficient if one is in Mexico for less than 180 days.

B) Because I have a partnership or other business in Mexico? No as long as you are not in the country for more than 180 days but, the Secretary of Economy and IRS Mexico (SAT) do not recognize the FMM thus it is necessary at this time that one who is a partner or in business in his own name has to have an FM-3 in the event that he is not a full time residence, otherwise one should have an FM-2.

C) Because I want to work in Mexico? No as long as you declare on the FMM that you are entering Mexico to work and specify what type of work that you will perform during your 180 day stay. This is according to the manual but in reality one will have to pass an interview at the entry point…
Do I need to be in Mexico to renew my FM-3 or FM-2?
Yes because one has to present new photos, finger prints and signature each time one needs to renew.
Can I get an FM-2 without having had an FM-3? Yes, as long as you prove that you have immigrated to Mexico, in other words that you made Mexico your “Home”.
Are there restrictions when one has an FM-2? The only restriction is that one can not be out of the country for more than 180 days during a continuous 5 year period, either in one or multiple times.
What advantages do I have by getting an FM-2 vs. an FM-3? After 5 years of having an FM-2 one can either choose to be an “Inmigrado” (Immigrant status) or acquire the Mexican nationality.
Is it true that if I married a Mexican person I do not need any immigration papers? No, every foreigner has to have the proper status to be able to be legal, one who does not have will suffer that consequences indicated in the law.
If I am illegal in Mexico can I become legal without any problems? Yes, one can become legal without suffering any consequences if one presents himself to any immigration office in Mexico and ask for “Regularización” of his status.
Who can arrest and detain me if I do not have any of the required immigration ID papers on me? Any police corps who will remit you to immigration officials in case that you do not have on you your immigration papers.
Can a police officer request me to show him my immigration papers? Not unless you are suspected of having done wrong, but as the saying goes it is better to cooperate...
Can an Immigration officer request me to show him my immigration papers? Yes at any time.
Can I request an other FMM at an Immigration office once the date which was written on it expires? No one has to exit the country on the last day and then can come back in.
