I think the BPE website could be the catalyst for some of
you to receive spam type emails. If this is true, I don't
know what to do about it. Does anyone have any

Hola amigos, my name is Paul and I've just spent the past
several months down here in Los Barriles and I just wanted
to thank everyone for welcoming me into your incredible
community. I have been here working on a book project and
with the help of several of you locals, I have learned so
much not only about Baja, but about myself. I leave for the
states today but I hope to be back on a more permanent basis
and I look forward to seeing the friends I've met and hope
to meet even more of you next time. Hasta la proxima, Paul

ROAD REPORTS
a. Hotel Update: HOTEL UP-DATES: The Desert Inn (formerly La
Pinta) in Catavina was on the list of pet-friendly
motels/hotels, but this is not the case. They have a sign
posted saying "No Pets Allowed". I
had to plead with them to allow us to have our dog with us.
The room cost was $90.00 USD.
(Last year we got a discount card for the Desert Inn Hotels
in Ensenada. Has anyone tried to use their card
this fall? Cheryl)
Hotel Francis in Santa Rosalia now has wireless Internet and
Satellite TV......with English-speaking
channels. Room cost was $676 pesos. Clean, quiet and quite
unique. Very dog-friendly, too !!
=============================================
AIRPORT: Let
me know if you get a ride so I can remove your notice.

to state when you want to leave.
Example: a 2pm flight should say, leave LB 11am or sooner.
YOU pick the time to leave.

a. are there any weight trainers out there could guide me
where and how to start?! - contact
tessabarriles@gmail.com or 1410427
b. The time has come when I have to replace batteries in my
solar system. It seems very difficult to find golf cart
batteries at Costco unless you happen to be standing there
when the shipment arrives. I stopped by Mexcan Solar in San
Jose yesterday and a note on their door says they will be
reopening Nov. 15. So, what options are available and
recommended for batteries and what sources are available?
Thanks,
fordwilson@gmail.com

pilates etc, that are at night. Some of us have commitments
in the mornings and just wondered if there were some non

thanks, Sylvia
d. Does anybody know where to buy a wireless access point?
alanpomeroy@gmail.com
e. We are looking for the easiest driving instructions from
the coast of
Georgia to Los Barriles. Our plans are to leave the week of
Thanksgiving.
Any suggestions would be appreciated on the border crossing,
the papers to
have with us for stuff we are bringing like computer,
camera, etc. and what
to expect at the stops - do's and don'ts - cash to have on
hand for tolls,
anything would be of help. If anyone is going around that
time we could
work our dates with yours.
karenvineyard@comcast.net
f. Has anyone crossed the board at TJ on foot and then
caught a flight to Los Cabos Would like to hear how and the
particulars.....would it be a safe thing for a mature woman
to do alone?
Have a friend coming who is willing to try but needs details
Thanks

a. I was going to ship a laptop computer to my son in La
Ribera via DHL. Found out that since it was made in China
there could be an import duty of up to 1,100%. Further it
has to be new. I just bought it so I have the original
packaging. Any input on this as far as duty and methodolgy
of getting it to him. I live in PA and could ship it to
someone going down and pay them a fee.

b. Unreal - it’s been like none other - an unprecedented
sail fish bite has lit up the Sea of Cortez the past few
weeks, resetting the record books of our East Cape fleet and
pleasing fishing guests beyond their dreams. This plethora
of ravenous sails has been overdosing on candy coated bait
fish offshore and often around the shark buoys - they must
think its dessert all day long! At Awesome Sportfishing, we
topped the chart yesterday and set a new record – our
‘Awesome’ with Captain Luis from Café Maria’s fame caught 10
sailfish and added a striped marlin to the mix; ‘Too
Awesome’ with Captain Adan (of the Adonis fame:) caught 6
sailfish and 3 marlin, including two blues. Twenty billfish
in one day – in any waters of the world, that’s an off the
chart catch and now we have a new record. Thankfully, ALL
billfish were released and holds up our 19 out of 20 release
ratio we’ve maintained for the past four years as we strive
to preserve billfish. To add something to the dinner table,
6 dorado found their way on board including one over 40
pounds, so there’s some bragging rights on the billfish but
also some delicious dorado on the bar-b. Our motto for this
year is, ‘The Sea of Cortez, Get on it!’ If you’d like to
‘get on it’, and get on some fish, we’d be delighted to have
you on board with Baja’s Awesome Sportfishing. 14-10231,
