Free Education and Training for basic CPR, First Aid and instruction for AED's (Automatic External Defibrillators) During our fundraiser last Spring we were very fortunate to raise enough to purchase 4 AED's for the community. Special "AED" thanks to Kim Plotkin for the ambulance, Walkers for Spa Buena Vista, Talley's for Costa Bravo and all our generous donors who helped make this possible. Please join us for the training that could save a precious life. All units are easy, simple and ready to display for public use in the community.

Place: Palmas de Cortez Conference Center  Time: 10am - 2pm
======================================

Boat Permits.....I spoke with Conapesca in San Diego and they confirmed that boat permits are no longer required while fishing in MX waters. They confirmed the Temporary Import Permit that was being requested of some boaters by the MX Navy is only required by MX Customs if you are a tourist, and leave your boat stored in MX. While I wouldn't argue with the MX Navy, I would encourage anyone to at least ask them if this is their understanding. If enough people reference the same information, it might help educate them, preventing further inappropriate requests that I'm sure most people will not be
able to comply with.

THE BRIGHT PATH ASCENSION MEDITATION COURSE IN LOS BARRILES
Ascension Meditation techniques allow you to rise above the chatter of the mind into a direct experience of inner peace and living life in the present moment. In doing so, this form of meditation can reconnect you with true fulfillment and offers a journey of self-discovery and personal liberation.
During this enlightening workshop, you will learn four ‘Ascension Techniques’ that you can use to change your relationship with your mind and rediscover what I refer to as your Real Self. You will also receive detailed guidance on how to use the techniques effectively.
The finer details about our days together...
The Bright Path Ascension Meditation workshop will be a four-day workshop staring Tuesday 6th December till Friday9th December (4pm to 7pm each day). The cost of the course is $200 US dollars and with that fee you are able to repeat the course for free forever – which you will want to do as your experience using the techniques develops.
The weekend course is happening at Rancho Buena Vista Hotel located 2 miles south of Los Barriles (signs are on the high way below the monument)
Carretera Transpeninsular Km 105.8Buenavista, BCS 23580 Mexico

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS

a.  Speaking of Apostolis Restaurant, I also had an incredible meal there last week! Started off the meal with Two Appetizers: 1. Spanacopita, various layers of pasta filo filled with fresh spinach, olive oil and herbs with Tzatziki  2. Dolmadakia, vine leaves stuffed with rice and meat with olive oil in a lemon sauce.  Our main course was Fish Fillets: Apostolis Style, Grilled Parrot (Perico) fish with a sauce of olive oil, lemon juice and fine herbs. My friend had it Mediterranean Style, Oven baked Parrot fish in a sauce with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, garlic ,capers and vegetables. Everything was cooked fresh and to perfection. I highly recommend it! Eileen

FISHING REPORTS

a.  A BIZARRE FISH TAIL: http://markrayor.blogspot.com/

ROAD REPORTS

a.     Received today 11/14/11:  Just got here, coming thru Tecate. Measured from the border, there're about 30 miles of new road on Mex.3. It looked like they had bad mix in lots of places, so look for it to break up from the truck traffic. There's a stretch of the old road following the new, then a construction zone for about 3-1/2 miles. I'm driving a low slung Chevy wagon, and had no problems. After the construction there's more old road, then it's all new to the junction with Mex. 1.
     There's more construction beginning 11 miles south of Maneadero ( measured from the middle of Manadero) for 6 miles to mile 17. Road is graded and in good shape.
     There is new road south of Catavina, but at about mile 10 it looked like more bad mix, and the northbound lane already had big potholes in the new pavement. There's more construction from mile 19 to mile 20.7; road is graded and in good shape.
     More construction south of the check point south of Rosarito. There is a detour beginning 4 miles south of the check point, runs for 3.7 miles, and it sucks. It is not rough, but most all of it is soft powder dirt--like fine flour--and it's deep in places.
     The check point at G. Negro has changed. There is now a short detour and an Immigration office--and they check your papers--but no agricultural spray. The big Pemex on the highway was open when I went by.
     The road's torn up north of Santa Rosalia from where the highway turns away from the sea all the way in to Sta. Rosalia. Road is graded and in good shape. No more construction from Sta. Rosalia south. Lots of new bridges in Baja Sur.
     All check points were going thru cars in both directions, except for the one south of Rosarito.
