GRAND OPENING OF VAGOS BAR!
Aldo proudly announces the GRAND OPENING of VAGOS BAR on Saturday May 14th with a live band starting at 6:00 P.M. After serving you as the bartender for all these years, he's taking that knowledge to open a bar with locals and gringos in mind. With the largest dance floor, plenty of parking and the only public bar on the beach, it is the ideal place to come and relax during the day and kick up your heels at night. VAGOS BAR will be open from 11:00AM to 11:00PM daily and until 2:00AM on live music nights. Located across the highway from the old Pemex.  
=========================================

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

       Have you ever wondered about the famous La Paz pearls, prized world wide and included in the crown jewels of the royalty of Spain, England and France? Twelve of us from Los Barriles had a wonderful weekend adventure and got the full story on a very interesting and informative tour (in English) conducted by Dr. Carlos Cáceres, the founder of Perlas del Cortez www.perlasdelcortez.com  , a pearl farm in La Paz. Dr. Cáceres is a professor at the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur, conducting research on aquaculture and sustainably reviving pearl farming in in Baja. Dr. Cáceres met us at our hotel on Sunday morning. Our first stop was at the Museum of Anthropology for the history and importance of pearling in Baja. Then we drove to his pearl farm in Pichilingue where he explained and demonstrated, step-by-step, the process of collecting and growing oysters, seeding the oysters and ultimately harvesting the beautiful black pearls. It was fascinating. Dr. Cáceres enthusiasm and passion for not only pearls, but our wonderful natural environment is contagious. Thumbs up from all twelve of us for Dr Cáceres and the tour. If you are interested in taking a tour, contact me for the details of our trip, or Dr. Carlos Cáceres ccaceres@uabcs.mx. To make it a really special weekend, go to La Paz on Saturday, spend the night and have dinner at Restaurante Las Tres Virgenes (Calle Madero #1130, between Constitution and Hildalgo). The best restaurant in Baja.  Holly Burgin     burgin.holly@gmail.com

THUMBS UP  -  Please sign

a.  Great hotel in Cabo San Lucas.  We have been staying at the Mar de Cortez Hotel in downtown Cabo, and like everything about it.  If you tell them you are from Los Barriles the rate is 575 pesos per night.  They have a great three Dollar breakfast, firm mattresses and the whole atmosphere is relaxing.  It's rustic, like the Rancho Buena Vista, clean, and in a great location for exploring.  We also recommend taking a glass bottom boat tour for 150 pesos, for your entire party.  John and Camilla Ford
