Via The Ventana View, our neighbors to the north.
In response to Dean's post of yesterday regarding the roadblock on the road to Bahia de los Muertes: Listening to the radio (in Spanish) today I gathered there is a standoff between fishermen and real estate developers over access to the beach in the bay. Also in the news: the new Mega store in La Paz will open on November 8 (Tuesday). Disclaimer- mi español es poquito y malo. Warren

This some very inconvenient news to some of my clients that have upcoming appointments.
I am sorry to say that during our travels south through the Baja we have had on going mechanical problems.  Unfortunately we are currently stuck in Loretto. With luck with the mechanics here we may be able to continue on with our travels on Tuesday.
However in the meantime we will have to reschedule Monday and Tuesday appointments. I apologize for this inconvenience  I will make it up to those inconvenienced.
Thank you,  Sandy from the salon de Cortez
