Hello Poker fans! It's only one week since we opened the call for our December Tournament, and so far we have a very good response, there's players from La Ventana, La Paz, Cabo, La Ribera and Los Barriles. I just made a small mistake last time, the tourney is on Saturday December 5th, not the 6th, sorry about that. Any information about it send me an email to felipe@hotelbuenavista.com
Saludos,
Felipe Valdez

San Jose Farmers Market, check out this website. www.sanjomo.com

We want to recommend our favorite spot for fish tacos, ceviche & shrimp/seafood cocktails. It is called
"Mariscos La Concha" - located on the Transpeninsular next to the vivero (nursery) that is next to the old  Pemex in Los Barriles/Buena Vista.   Lupita Paredes is the owner, cook and waitress and is a sweetheart - she really needs our business! Ask her about the "Plate of the Day" (Platillo del Dia). Everything is fresh - prepared while you wait, delicious and very reasonably priced. Relax and enjoy a beer, the view and sea breeze in a delightful setting. You will not be disappointed! Open 11am - 6pm. Closed on Tuesdays.
Liz and Lon Fitton

Border Crossing Fiasco - I have been crossing between the U.S./Mexican border for almost 40 years. I have had my share of trials and tribulations as well as many positive experiences. I have always been able to negotiate my way through sometimes difficult situations, but this last crossing at Otay Mesa was a hastle of significant magnitude. I was loaded with nice quality new x'mas toys and school supplies(including new backpacks) for 50 children. In anticipation of tougher border checks I left price tags on all new merchandise. I had receipts and declared everything, knowing that I would have to pay a significant amount of duty.

My declaration made absolutely NO difference to the agents. They were more concerned that I had too many of the same type of item. While negotiating this issue, they looked into a small bag (pillow size) and found used children's clothing. I explained that the clothing was from my granddaughter and destined for my housekeeper's daughter. I was told that used clothing was not allowed into Mexico PERIOD!! After much discussion involving several officials I finally offered to leave the bag at the border. This was not allowed. As a last resort I asked if I could put the clothes in their trash. This too was met with a resounding NO. I had already tried a "financial settlement" (against my principles). I speak Spanish and always remained calm and polite. Absolutely nothing worked and I was redirected back into the U.S. to get rid of the clothing before I would be allowed to proceed back into Mexico.

Many more negative things happened after that, causing me to leave ALL new children's items behind. I have since "recovered" from such a negative experience, but many children will now go without much needed supplies and Christmas toys.
