He's hound like, about 60#, more or less, fawn or tan colored, short coat, may or may not be neutered. He's very shy. If he's yours contact: gaaredwards@gmail.com

LOST!:  Someone mistakenly picked up my Blue SRT Slingshot Kite surfboard off the beach in front of Playa Norte campground right next to the windsurf area on Saturday. Would you please return it. I'm in the last trailer on the front row at the North end. Thanks.......... Don Lester 510-853-2128.

ALMA looking for any animal lovers who would like to volunteer at our booth during the Lord of the Wind Event from the 13th to the 16th of January.

ROAD REPORTS

QUESTIONS

a.  Oops, had wrong email:  Wondering if anyone has travelled the Mex 3 from Ensenada to Tecate lately? What's the construction situation? Thanks. ulfplk@mcsnet.ca

b.  Here is a story about BANAMEX in Los Barriles. Yesterday I needed Pesos for my construction contractor.  I went from Cabo Pulmo to Los Barriles and picked up money from the ATM and some cash from my account at Bancomer. Then I went over to Banamex to get more Pesos. Nobody was in the bank total empty. I asked how much $$$ I could exchange in Pesos. $1500/month. I pulled out my dollars and counted $800 to exchange. I gave the money to the Lady in the teller. Right then the lady told me to pull a number. I didn’t know why I have to pull a number when nobody is in the bank. But I went over to the machine and pulled a number and gave it to the lady on the teller. Then she started to count my money $700. At the moment I wondered that I counted wrong and accepted the amount. Later when I drove back to Cabo Pulmo I was concerned. Did I count wrong or did the Lady distract me to pull a number and later counted my money. I would say in case everybody who has to exchange money has to watch careful. Maybe I counted wrong but I would like to know if somebody else has a similar experience with BANAMEX in los Barriles. Contact me at Cabopulmo@gmail.com
