FYI: Sears has bought the Dorian's in La Paz and now both Dorians,
the one on Forjadores and the one in Centro are Sears. The one on
Forjadores looks like a Sears and carries great merchandise; Most of
the road work on Cabo San Lucas is finished and you can now drive
from one end of the town to the other without pulling out your hair;
A friend of ours just finished a week at the Spanish school, Se
Habla...La Paz. The school is owned by Julie Goff and teaching is
almost one on one. Our friend stayed with a delightful Mexican
family and was elated with the time he spent. Something to consider
if you want to learn Spanish thru immersion. Chris and Jim White
==========================
I have a 2000 Ford F-250 that the ABS light has come on. Who can you
recommend someone to take it to? I live in Los Barriles so I am open
to going to La Paz or Cabo to get it fixed.

I am driving into Mexico, and the Baja, through Nogales, and have
been reading all the hoopla about folks flying in with their
dogs/cats, and all the paper work regarding fleas, ticks, and worms.
I usually get a health certificate for my dogs just before I leave
home and cross the border into mainland Mexico. So far, the last ten
years or so have never been asked to show any proof of health
certificates nor documentation about no fleas, ticks and worms. Has
anyone been stopped and requested to show any proof of health
certificates for their dogs while driving into Mexico/Baja? Please
post answer on the Pony, thanks, Sylvia,

RECYCLING WILL BEGIN TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24! START SAVING THAT TRASH!
The Navarro Recycling truck will be parked on Highway 1 across from
the entrance to Los Barriles, next to the pizza parlor, from the
hours of 10am to 1pm. Brenda and Moises Navarro will be taking all
acceptable recyclables for this 3 hour period. Because they must
haul them to different recyclers in San Jose and Cabo San Lucas,
this is not a particularly profitable venture for their little
company. They are asking for 50 to 75 peso donation per drop-off.
Please support their grassroots effort to clean up our environment!
Additional donations to support the start up of this program are
welcome. These will be used to encourage the families that cannot
afford the fee to join in our recycling efforts.
The Navarros have agreed to make their truck available to our area
EVERY OTHER TUESDAY, FROM 10 TO 1PM.
Here is the current list of what is recyclable: (please separate
items, and rinse out food)
Plastic:
Soda bottles all colors and sizes
(not tea bottles as NESTE or any other use for tea´s)
Water Bottles (individual) (* I AM CHECKING ON LARGER PLASTIC
BOTTLES...WILL POST UPDATE WHEN I RECEIVE IT.)
Not collecting color plastic, neither bags. Looking for a new
person.
Paper:
All types for paper
(except napkin and toilet paper)
Glass:
Clear Glass all types. (PLEASE RINSE OUT)
We are not receiving color glass right now.
(no window glass)
Batteries:
Alkaline batteries, Solar batteries and car batteries.
Ink Printer Toners:
HP
Metals:
All kinds of metal and cans
Oil:
Cooking burned oil
Use clothes
Some good ideas that have been suggested: Discuss recycling with
your housekeeper/gardener and others in the community that you know.
Offer to sponsor their efforts so that they can begin recycling with
their families.
Also, we are also looking for 11 special people to act as sponsors
so that we can bring this program to the primary school in Los
Barriles! There are 11 classes, and sponsorship would allow us to
place a collection can(s) in each classroom for recycle items. We
envision a contest between the classes to see which class can
contribute the most recycle items, with an appropriate prize. The
cost of sponsorship is not great; sponsors would be responsible for
providing the can(s) for collection, and the drop-off fee every
other week for their class' collections. Please email me if you are
interested in being a sponsor!
That's it for now; I will post more information as we move forward.
Keep saving those recycle materials and keep them out of the
landfills!! Let's make Los Barriles an example of what a united
community can do....With a little effort, we can make a difference
in this beautiful land we love.
