This is addressed to all the singles out there. It must be the weather because I'm sitting here hunkered down watching the wind blow, shivering and feeling pretty alone. It seems to me that there must be others in a similar situation. So I decided to suggest a get together of like souls. If you would care to expand your circle of single acquaintances let's have a social! Send me your thoughts, suggestions, ideas and I'll do my best to mix all of it together and organize a get together ASAP!                      feater-545326@mypacks.net
==============================

We stayed at Hotel Francis in Santa Rosalia.  It's Francis because ... it's French!
not to be missed, especially because of the historical context.  It's way up at the top of the hill, right in town, but with no signs to direct you.  
Not that we wish to slight the Jardines in San Quintin; it's like, the opposite, and Mexican/Spanish excellence, and one day apart.
The one is totally new, and perfect; the other is very olde and restored, and perfect.  Richard Katz, Buenavista
===================================

 BRRRR!, its cold.  NEED FIREWOOD?  I found a vendor who delivers good quality wood at a fair price.  He speaks fair english and understands even more.  Call me or email me for his contact  information.  Bill Barbour  142-8097 kay02@comcast.net
