UPS story, I decided to try the new UPS service to Mexico. It was a disaster. Cost for a 8 lb. Package from Reno NV to Los Barriles was $158. I received instructions from LB office and past it on to Reno. Package was stopped at Border and would not allow through. In package was a Water Pic,  test strips for my diabetic tester, (still need) and some home made CD’s. My friend in Reno and I spent many hours writing letters and on the phone, for 2 1/2 weeks.  In TJ Customs gave us many excuses about rules and UPS wanted another $85.00 to return it to Reno. Juan Rochin, the manager at LB UPS was very helpful and made many calls from his office. My friend, in Reno, finally gave up and the package is still in TJ. Total investment $350 lost. What a hassle.

Dance Night mix up. I would like to apologize for a mix up at Dance Night. I advertised ½ of for Corona, Pacifico and Margaritas. The Bartenders took that to mean 2x1 drinks. My customers were charged full price for first drink but were to receive second drink free. Some people got understandable upset for being charged full price and after drinking one drink left and have not come back. This was not a scam but a miscommunication between the bar staff and myself.. I apologize for the problem. To show good faith Palmas has offered to increase the ½ price offer to also include all well drinks, house Vodka, house Rum, house Gin, and house Tequila, on Tues. Dance Night. Dinner 6:30 to 9pm, beef and chicken tacos $1.00 shrimp and fish $1.50. Music and dancing till 10pm. Thank you, Michael Babcock 624 178 2880

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a.  Coffee Filters.  If you’re talking about the Melitta type #4, they are available at Mega in San Jose.  There are also some #2’s there.

b.  Shoemaker cobbler zapatero reparar el calzado :  Here, let me answer my own question, of where you can get your boots soles and heels near Los Barriles.  The downtown Los Barriles llantera of El Oso told me most authoritatively that you gotta go to La Paz, to El Coyote, on Ave Felix Ortega near Independencia and Reforma. And now I can attest that you will not find a bootmaker anywhere to do a better job, for a VERY reasonable price, and on time as promised.  Not While-U-Wait; these things take a little time; but a good job. Really good work.
