NOTE:  COMPLETE CALENDAR AT THE END OF THIS BPE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday noon there was an accident at the public fountain at the entrance to town. Rotarian Eldon Hathaway was cleaning the pool with an extended aluminum pool when he accidentally
bushed the high tension CFE line over the pool. Needless to say, it was a major shock.
Eldon was rushed to the Amerimed hospital in San Jose suffering from major 3rd degree burns on his right arm and hand as well as his big toes on both feet. His vital signs are good and he should be home in a couple of days; although, he will have a long recuperation time. Eldon would like all his friends to know that it takes more than a little high tension jolt to put this "old bird" down.

Amigos....We hope you've all got the 2nd Annual Local Artists Show on your calendars for Sunday, December 12 sponsored by the Asociacion de Artes. This Holiday event will be at the Colina del Sol Club House from 9am to 3pm. We have some of the most talented artists around right here in East Cape and they'll all be there to show and sell their art. We'll have Mexican food, refrescos and even Beer and Wine for sale. Oh yes....and a raffle with artistic prizes. The entrance to Colina del Sol is located north of the two arroyos and just west of the paved "road to nowhere". There's a big Colina del Sol sign on the right hand side of the road pointing to the entrance. Once you're inside we'll have lots of signs directing you to the Club House. One more thing...we'd appreciate it if you would leave your dogs at home. If you have any questions about this event email either Kathy Obenshain at kaojaa@gmail.com  or Elizabeth Perkins at edesignsbaja@aol.com . See you on Sunday, December 12th....JoAnn

     This article was in the LPG (LaPazGringos)
the news on "el peninsular" today about animal welfare law
Here's the link for you to see it. Here's the rough translation.
     la Ley de Posesión y Protección de los Animales en BCS (the law of possession and protection of animals in BCS) has been aproved. Only one representative objected and opposed because she believes it wont be implemented since it doesn't represent the reality of many "sudcas". This law says that all house dogs must have a collar and get medical care.
     Still the law was approved by the rest of the representatives. The Vet Bertha Haro was present, as she's been the main force behind this initiative as the president of the colegio de veterinarios, along with some vet students from UABCS. They all celebrated the approval. They assure that once dogs are healthier, it'll stop diseases that affect everyone and are transmitted by sick dogs.
     Now, with this law, the new requirements to get a pet will be implemented once it's published in the diario oficial.

ROAD REPORTS

a. Crossed at Tecate on Sunday morn Nov 14th with 4 pickups/campers...no hassles. About 20 miles of pretty bad road south of Tecate on Hwy 3 but no crews working and no hassles. About 5 miles of rough road south of Ensenada but no hassles. Stayed in San Quintin at the beautiful (and inexpensive) Hotel El Jardines south of town and liked it so much we stayed for 3 days...met and partied with Guillermo the owner...what a cool guy and alone worth a visit. The rest of the trip south we bumped into the Baja 1000 folks all the way to La Paz (watched some of the race while in Loreto). Again, no hassles even thru Ciudad Constitucion where we only saw 2 cops...stayed on the lateral thru town and made sure to stop at every stop sign and wore seat belts. All in all a very leisurely and pleasant 6 day journey to Los Barriles...glad to be back at our "other home".

QUESTIONS

a. Does anyone have any great shell beaches that they go to? I would love to find some, please let me know and directions would be helpful. bertandmichelle@yahoo.com

b. Can anyone recommend a tile store in La Paz, with a good selection of floor tile, that employs a person who speaks English? Would appreciate a store name and the street. Thanks, Elsa elsa1599@yahoo.com

c. We had to leave Mexico with a permission letter because of the delay in processing our FM 3 renewals. It gives us 60 days (rather than the old allowance of 90 days) to get back, but it dawns on me that the immigration office will be closed for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Does anyone know exactly when immigration closes and reopens? I have heard that they may close as early as December 17th and not reopen until January 5th !!! That would be almost 3 weeks. We must make our airplane reservations to get down there in time to pick up our paperwork, but don't want to be there during the closure dates ! Thanks so much to Ponyland for an answer. You can post on the Pony or to us directly at talmontpeople@aol.com  or pattidowden@gmail.com .  Thanks again. Patti

a. BAJA FOOT REFLEXOLOGY returns to the Los Barriles area once again, this will be our 8th season to therapeutically massage your feet and make you world just a little bit healthier. Like rejuvenating your body, mind and spirit through your feet.
     Tune into your inner healer with a relaxing and healing foot reflexology. The whole body is represented in the feet, hands and ears, more beneficial on the feet. The feet represent the water energy, which goes deep and seeks out the foundation of things. The feet are the most negative pole of the entire body and because of this fact many negative energy blocks are found in the feet. The pain and discomfort in these areas can be manifesting or warning of chronic health conditions. Sensitivity and pain on the feet may be reflections of chronic conditions in corresponding areas of the body. By stimulating and massaging certain reflex points on your feet, the body can be restored to its natural healthy state.
     Rejuvenate, heal and enjoy your reflexology treatment in the peace and quiet by the beautiful Sea of Cortez. $30 for 30 minutes for those of you who are curious about Reflexology. $45 for one full hour treatment. Taking appointments for late December and into the New Year 2011 treaturfeet@yahoo.com  or after December 11th, call Sylvia, Certified Reflexologist for an appointment, 14-10332
