I have been following the discussion about using Mexican phones and have tried to simplify it with a spreadsheet. You can find it at my wife's (Dr Mary's) website, www.bajamary.com  , under the "Calling to and from Los Barriles" section. I have also started a listing of Emergency Medical Information which you can find under the "Local Information" section. Hope this helps. I welcome any suggestions for additions / deletions / corrections. Thanks! Craig Hammes -- craig@geekami.com

Gretel De la torre Magdaleno here to tell you that I now have the ability to vaccinate your dogs against Rattle snake bites. This is not a cure for a rattle snake bite but it will help to minimize the potentially life threatening effects of a bite should your pet be unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end. It also provides a cushion of time to get your pet to a vet for treatment. I can make this vaccine available to you for $500 (pesos) upon request. I would appreciate hearing from any of you who might be interested in this added layer of protection for your dogs so that I can judge how much vaccine I need to order. Thank you for your continued patronage. M.V.Z. Gretel De la torre     624-129-5640
