SENDING MAIL TO MEXICO
Response to question regarding mail from "The Baja
Survivor's Guide" edited by Lee Moore of La Paz: page 11 - "General
delivery mail addressed to you at Lista de Correos is held for only
ten days. If you are not sure you will be able to collect it within
that time, the mail should instead be marked Favor de Retener Hasta
Llegada or Please hold until arrival and be addressed to you at
Postal Restante . You've got to ask for it at the window. This entry
by Arturo Garcia Flores, Todos Santos Postmaster
Also, the zip code or codigo postal goes in front of
Mexico on the last line of a Mexican address, for example, C.P.
23305 Mexico. Letters from up north addressed to you in this way
will get to you faster, since they won't possibly first be sent to
the American locale with the same zip code.

DISCUSSION: FM papers and cars
a. I am curious where this info came from on only being able to
drive a car here with an FM2 or FM3, or tourist card. . I have lived
here for over 20 years and never heard of such a thing. First of
all, when have you every been asked for your Legal papers by a
policeman? I even tried to offer my FM2 once and they didn't even
want to see it, it is of no interest to them. They don't even want
to see your passport. Plus, it's not a document you need to carry
with you 24/7. It's strictly for Immigration status and that's it,
so if someone has more info on this, I would appreciate what real
info you have on it and please post for all here.

DOGGIE HOTELS IN LA PAZ
a. Hacienda del Sol in El Comitan is VERY dog friendly. I will be
heading down next Friday with my two Golden Retrievers.
www.hacienda-sol.com
I stayed there last year and it is similar to visiting family who
are actually fun to be with (unlike some of my blood relatives). I
look forward to staying with Renate and Eberhard once again. They
also have a small RV park (nine units if I recall correctly) but
probably most are filled for the winter. Ross, Santa Fe New Mexico
b. A dog-friendly Bed and Breakfast in La Paz is Casa Buena B&B,
located on Belasario Dominguez between Sinaloa and Sonora, just one
block off of Abasolo. Walled property and secure parking area.
Contact Milton Sanders at
miltuna@hotmail.com or call at 01-612-122-5538. If you
call to make reservations, be sure to ask for their security code on
the walk-in gate. Also, Belasario is now one-way heading to
down-town, so you have to turn off of Abasolo onto Sinaloa and then
turn left on Belasario. Look for large wooden gate at the driveway.

CREATURES IN THE WATER!
a. Recent BPE asked for identification of the multitude of small
chains of translucent creatures washed up on the beaches a few days
ago.
They are Salps, a pelagic organism, multicellular animal. More info
in this attached link.
b. Did some research today and feel that the "noodle-things" in the
water off of LB and North Beach are probably Salps. (Thaliacea
salpida) They are a plankton-type organism that is found in the Sea
of Cortez. I am contacting researchers who are familiar with them to
get a good website with info that can be shared. Will give you an
update when I hear back. Meanwhile
www.jellieszone.com
has great photos of these. Not supposed to be harmful (as in
stinging). More later...
