============================

Hola Amigos:  We've just discovered an EASY way to cut through the bureaucracy of the Inmigracion Office in La Paz!  We had to get Russ' FM3 document renewed and my FM2 canceled.  I needed other legal documents developed and stamped including a Power of Attorney to get my VW hauled from La Paz to Tijuana. Here is the information:  Go to the Marina de La Paz on Topete and Legaspy and look for an office named:  "Eco Naviera".  Lic. Salvador E. Ramirez Cosio is a former employee of Migracion and has set up his own business which will handle ALL the papers needed thus saving you all the back and forth trips only to discover what you want is "not ready"!  Salvador also speaks English!    Email him at salramirezc@hotmail.com or call his office at:  612-125-9546 or cell at:  612-348-9765     JoAnn y Russ

ROAD REPORTS

a.  This is via La Ribera via BajaNomad:   TJ BORDER CORSSING CHANGES

Crossed northbound yesterday at San Ysidro - for folks that don't know the route through TJ has completely changed. There is no more loop that brings you along the border fences, but rather you go straight through El Centro commercial district, by the cemetery (now 4 lanes northbound, but the old yellow double-center lines are still there, which will bring you to the old poorly-marked split where you have to decide quickly to get in one of two center lanes to begin the long crawl to the border gate, or otherwise drive around TJ again with a racing heart and try to get in the correct line again. Our wait yesterday midday was just under two hours. And now there is major construction beginning just on the US side of the border crossing, and the BP agent informed us that our 2-hour wait will soon be more like 6-7 hours. He said construction will be completed sometime in 2013. Times they are a-changing.
