Upon returning to California we stayed at Hotel Jardin-Baja in San Quintin. Carmen and Guillermo were great hosts. Hotel is immaculate! Rates are very reasonable (from 380 to 500 pesos). Extremely comfortable beds. Complimentary morning coffee. Pet friendly. The adjacent restaurant (closed on Mon) was wonderful . . .great food . . very fair prices! Highly recommend this property. It makes it an easy drive to the border (4.5 hours via Tecate) so you can cross noonish when traffic is almost nonexistent! We had no wait in line on Mon. the 7th Dec.

Feliz Navidad to everyone from your Chiropractor, Dr. Mary. I have missed you all terribly. But, it's been necessary for me to spend all of my spare time this year caring for my mother following her stroke. I know that some of you have kept up with her recovery on the blog at www.drmarymusic.com  Thank you for your kind words and continued prayers. She IS improving, though it's been quite a journey....The good news is that I'll be back to LB January 6th for 6 days and will look forward to seeing and taking care of you then. In the meantime, I've been so happy to know that Dr. Smith has continued to be there at least a day each month to take care of you. My family and I plan to be there most of February and part of March and then I'll get back on my regular monthly visits, as I have for the past few years. Thank you for your kind patience and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! drmary@drmary.net  The latest CD won't be recorded until Spring of 2010, as it looks now. But, I'm so happy that many of you have been enjoying the earlier recordings and the most recent one of 2008-2009

Cactus questions posed by a reader:

> Does this apply to Mexicans as well as foreigners?
> Does this apply to the transporting of cactus only?
> Does this apply to having cactus growing in your yard or place of business?
> Does this apply to buying and transporting a cactus from a nursery?
> Does this apply to possessing of a dry agave bloom commonly used for
> Christmas Trees
> Does this apply to the preserving of cactus when they are going to be
> displaced by building construction?
> I think that Josefina's statement needs much clarification.

Answer from Josephina: Here we go...
as you know there is more of 1000 types of cactus,
this law apply to this type:
CARDONES, CHOYAS, PALO BLANCO, PALO VERDE,
PALO DE ARCO, PITAHAYAS ( all types )
TOROTES ( elephant tree).

Does not apply if you find it dry,
but applies if you found alive...

if you have a land and have any of those types of trees on it.
you will need to have a SPECIAL permit by ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
before you remove any of those, otherwise you can have a large fine.

of course the nursery have only the legal type,
because they have supervision every 3 months,
but if you have a dry one no problem.

the law is for everyone mexicans or foreigns,
apply for transportation, etc...

MEDICAL INSURANCE

I did a lot of research years ago on getting Major Medical Health Insurance down here and found an agent in Florida who writes International Policies which cover you anywhere in the world, and also the US but no more than 60 days. I could not even get health insurance in the US anymore because of prior problems and this man was wonderful. He found me a policy that required no medical history and I pay about 135.00 a month, but I think it depends on your age and what policy and deductible you pick. Mine has a 250.00 ded. His website is: www.globalhealthinsurance.com  His name is Carlos Perez and some of his policies are even underwritten by US companies. Sharon
