A good bit of my heartfelt 'letter to the editor' is contained in the most recent GG. HOWEVER,
some lot of the meat of the story was edited out - for whatever reasons. If you would like to know a bit more I would be happy to Email you the entire missive. Useful information for anyone
who might become ill. We are well. Maryolive Shoupe <theshoupes@gmail.com>

Sorry for the confusion!!! The new plaza is called Plaza Catalunya and the yoga studio is one of the spaces in said new plaza....and it is called Sukhasana Yoga Aula...(aula: a place of learning)
Thanks, for helping me bring more clarity to this....Jackie

==========================

We are looking for a good home for our two wonderful dogs. Unfortunately, due to logistic and financial reasons beyond our control we are forced to make the decision that it would be a better life for the dogs if they had a more stable home than we can afford or offer at the moment. They are truly wonderful and loving dogs and are great with our children, as well as offering a formidable security system for your home. I would prefer to keep them together, but it is not absolutely necessary as we realize it will be tougher to find a good individual home for 2 medium sized dogs. This is a very hard and difficult decision for our family but a necessary one. Both dogs are female rescue dogs and are fixed and are current on all shots and immunizations. The larger dog Brisa is from the Cabo Humane Society and Dulce is a local girl from ALMA. If you know of a good possible home or would like to meet the girls, please email me at mmaitland@archterradesign.com.

b. I have some news regarding Saturday Night events at Palmas de Cortez... Starting this Saturday, Dec 5th we're going to have Skeleton Key playing in the 'Big Game' bar- (inside) 8-11 pm, $5 cover. We also have them scheduled to play Sat Dec 19th. We'll be alternating between live music and "Movies under the Stars" on Saturdays with movies starting on Dec 12th. No charge for the movies and we'll have chaise lounges/ tables set out, projecting to a giant screen on the stage where we have awards banquets. Just bring blankets/ pillows. Popcorn and drinks available, no outside food allowed. Hopefully we can keep this going for the next few months.....we are also starting to open the "Big Game" bar earlier on Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m., with 2 X 1 National Drinks until 5 p.m., with a free Nacho Bar/Appetizers from 2-3 p.m.

I think we'll start the movie season with 'Elf', Dec12th, then maybe a non-saturday night showing of MIracle on 34th street sometime before Christmas, then 'Love Actually" on the 26th. Other movies we've been thinking about are "August Rush", "Amelie", "Music and Lyrics". Will advise as things progress....Thanks for your help. Movies start at 8pm
Mil Gracias,
Peter
