The big wheels of the Municipal Water Co. in La Paz will be at the cancha in Los Barriles this Thursday to explain the new equipment and modernization of our present decrepit water system. Among topics presented will be a new pumping station north for the Agua de la Costa region, renewal of town system and hopefully they’ll have news regarding the new but unused sewer system. All are invited to attend Thursday, May 26 at 5:00PM in the multi sports center (cancha) downtown. These are all approved renovations to be installed shortly so a large turnout is expected. Hope to see you all there.

QUESTIONS

a.  Question? We stay in Mexico for about 8 months a year - so we have an FM3. We have recently heard that now you can come to Mexico on a 180 day tourist visa and then have the 180 day tourist visa renewed for an additional 180 days. We have talked to several officials and have received conflicting views about extending/renewing the 180 day visa. Has anyone out there had their 180 day tourist visa renewed for some additional months?  If so, please email or call us to let us know how you accomplished this.   Mucho gracias!

RESTAURANT & ENTERTAINMENT - 5 lines/10-15words per line/50 words total

a.  Hello from Francisco of the Barrillito restaurant, recently called the Fish Market. There was a lot of confusion with that name so I have returned to the name Barrillito which it was called for 8 years. These changes have encouraged me to make several improvements. I changed the kitchen staff and I have returned as head chef. There are exciting changes on the menu as well as our favorite dishes or special offerings designed just for you. As always, we use only the freshest products, and offer special prices for locals. I extend my invitation and hope to see you very soon in the restaurant, El Barrillito.
