A BPE TRUE STORY!
A month ago while riding my bicycle south on the "road to nowhere" I was struck from behind by the mirror of a passing truck. I skittered on my knees and face across the rough asphalt surface of the road sustaining deep abrasions to my face, knees, and right side, and a mild concussion. Thanks to people walking nearby I was helped into the truck that hit me. A passing bicyclist insisted that she get into the truck with me and see me safely home. This was an extraordinary act of kindness. My wounds were cleaned and dressed for several days by Luis at AmeriMed. Because of Luis' excellent and professional care I am almost completely healed.
My thanks to all those who stopped and helped, AmeriMed, and everyone who expressed concern.
Karl Deterding,

THUMBS UP!

a. If you are planning to visit Todos Santos, we can highly recommend the Gemini Deli - amazing food, wonderful service and very reasonable prices. Our party of four ordered four different entrees and each meal was superb.
Check out their website for more information and the address. Buen provecho! Gail and Gord Rozon

b. Wanted to give kudos to Patty at Los Pescadores. A rather large group of friends converged on the restaurant for our yearly ‘un-birthday’ party. Patty did an outstanding job with the dinner menu at a very reasonable price. The restaurant was nice and clean, warm and toasty with the great fireplace working all evening and the staff were friendly. We all had a great time and look forward to next year’s event. Thank you Patty and staff.

c. Da Sushi Hut Barefoot Bar, We stopped by yesterday for lunch and found the burgers and dogs to be surprising good. The atmosphere friendly with no wind and a real treat to take a break from the traditional restraints of the area and relax with North American style cooking and atmosphere.
Bob and Susie
