CREDIT CARD LEFT IN ATM MACHINE!
If anyone retrieved or knows someone who retrieved a Wells Fargo Bank Card from the machine in Los Barriles at the Bancomer. I left it in the machine 3 nights ago. My name is Teresa. Please contact me via email - wutz1@yahoo.com  Thank you very much
============================================

A NOTE FROM ANN HAZARD:
I have received notice from both the Pony Express and the Onion that my website, http://bajamagic.com is offline. That's true. I took it offline a few months ago after signing on with Sunbelt Publications (http://sunbeltbooks.com). From now on they will be handling all purchases, both wholesale and retail of all my books. In the future, should they choose to reprint Cooking with Baja Magic Dos, they will publish it. It was a good decision for me, because it saves me money and work and they are selling a lot more books than I was, especially when I was living in Florida! We moved back to San Diego in August because my dad was ill. He is doing much better now and will be spending Thanksgiving at Hotel Buena Vista as usual. I had hip replacement surgery 12 days ago, so we are staying put. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
============================================

A message from Dr. Mary, the chiropractor...Thank you for a wonderful
few days while my daughter and I were down. Monday at Otra Vez was
such a good time and it was especially nice that Wolfy dropped in and played some spicy Latin guitar that gave the Mexico experience more punctuation. THANKS WOLFY! I'll be back for 3 days starting December 9th. Watch the pony for hours in the office and when I might be able to share a song with you someplace. Glad that you still need me.
e-mail me at drmary@drmary.net  . Or check out the blogs and websites at www.drmarymusic.com  or www.drmary.net  . US cell is
970-275-3226 for now. 141-0368 is the Mexico number for when I'm back. Hasta Pronto!
===========================================

POWER YOGA CLASSES OFFERED:
Are you interested in a Power Yoga Class? We have a visiting yoga teacher, Gayle Hazard (some of you know her folks from Buena Vista) coming for the Thanksgiving holiday! She is going to be teaching 2 classes at Sukhasana Yoga Aula.
The first class will be Friday, November 26 at 4pm (come and work off some of the holiday turkey!) and the second class will be Monday November 29th. at 4pm. If you want further info. contact me at jackie1@gorge.net 
Gayle Hazard is from San Diego & has been traveling to Buena Vista
with her family since she was little. She recently moved home from
three years of living abroad in Costa Rica, where she taught home
school, worked with the outdoor adventure school Outward Bound, and
lived & practiced yoga in the Vida Asana Yoga Center. She recently
completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance Power Teacher Training at Core
Power Yoga in San Diego, where she learned a comprehensive one-hour
Vinyasa-based (breath-to-movement) class, where sequences & postures
are explained & demonstrated, and the flow is at a deliberate pace to
have an emphasis on alignment and breath. Gayle is really looking
forward to getting a week's vacation in Los Barriles while also
getting in a few chances to teach yoga! Namaste! :)

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a. CELL PHONE TALK
In partial response to the query posted in the BPE, AT&T has a not well advertised program called Viva Mexico. This costs $15 per month which then allows you to use your cell phone(s) in Mexico as standard minutes like you would in the US. This works to/from Mexico and within Mexico. Does not apply to text/data. AT&T service is good in the Los Barriles area. Not sure about along the Baja, but going to find out in January.

WANTED (Repeats no sooner than one week)

a. OOPS! My copying fingers slid past the last digit of the phone number yesterday. Here is the complete phone number, CD........Anyone out in "pony-land" have a 3.5mm stereo plug/2 RCA jack (female) cable I can use until December 1? While I only a very short (6") cable, I'd be happy with any length. I use it to connect audio signal from my computer headphone jack to a sound system with my digital projector. Ed ebodaken@gmail.com  142-8061

b. 22-25 foot panga, motor and trailer. I am looking for a boat that is in great condition with no mechanical problems. I will be in Los Barriles the first two weeks in December, and hope to find a boat while I'm there. I'm also open to partnering with someone that already has a panga who would like to sell a part ownership. . We come down for about a week in the summer and two weeks in December, and would like to have a boat to fish with when we're there.
