News from Todos Santos

a. Here's a Special Treat! ARTS' usual Thursday night gallery talk will be a little unusual this week. Donna Billick, internationally known mosaic artist, has agreed to open her house for our talk this week so that we can see and enjoy her beautiful work. Come to Cafelix first and get your refreshments and then take a short walk over to Calle Militar and up to the long two-tone green house between the old Post Office and Taco George's. Go in the driveway gates and we'll be waiting for you. For those of you who are not totally sure where we're going to be, there will be guides waiting at Cafelix to take you there. It should be a very special evening so please do join us.

The Coral Reef Restaurant in Cabo Pulmo is serving dinner 3 nights per week, Wed, Thur, & Fri. We went last Fri. and had an excellent meal. The menu is well thought out, varied, and has many subtle touches that make the items different from the average food in the area. Prices are very reasonable and the service was friendly, fast, and very competent. We would gladly recommend this to everybody. We are trying to get the menu, which changes each week, posted on future Baja Pony Expresses. Mamablackbear

b.  Hello Everyone,
Carlene & Pam here with Homes and Land of Baja Real Estate.

Two Open Houses this Saturday, January 30th, 1pm-4pm near Spa Buena Vista. This area has the most beautiful beaches, friendly neighbors, and potable water from a hot spring.

Come see Casa Ziething in Playa Victoria Subdivision. This 3,707 sq ft. southwestern style home is one lot from the most beautiful beach in the East Cape. There is a 557 sq ft. guest casita above the 1,000 sq ft. three-car, 13' tall garage. Sold mostly furnished with two quads, an '81 Ram Charger SUV, BBQs, and fishing gear. Strong, super-insulated Rastra construction with a total 'R' rating of 35. Walls are 12' thick, fireproof and hurricane proof. Cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter. Casa Ziething is listed at $690,000.

Casa Hamner is a spacious home that has been perfectly "dialed in" for Baja living. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a terrace with unblockable views of the Sea of Cortez. The lower lever has a 2 bedroom apartment and in between there are three 42' boat garages. Totally turnkey including '91 Expedition, quads, and boat (Shamrock 24-6). Great rental potential! Listed at $489,900.
 Directions:
 1st Stop: Casa Hamner
Enter Spa Buena Vista and make a sharp left at the Spa Hotel. The home will be the first one on the right.

 2nd Stop: Casa Ziething
 Go back the way you came in but turn left in Spa at the palm boulevard. The fifth street on your right is the road to Rancho Leonero. Go right and look for the Homes and Land sign at the first left. Turn left into the Playa Victoria Subdivision. Drive toward the beach and take your last left before driving onto the Beach. Casa Ziething will be on the left.
