       d. DEAR AMIGOS:
I just found out that Rocio is down here in Los Cabos and is teaching Spanish!!!!
I know her for a few years now. But the last thing I heard from her is that she was in Ensenada.
I do not know how busy is she down in Cabo. But if there is a group of Ribereños interested in lear or practice their Spanish. I am sure Rocio will make the proper arrangements to come and give classes to whom ever want to speak a more fluent Spanish.
In the mean time, my best regards to you all
