Note: The BPE is beginning it's 9th year. Obviously, I am getting frustrated at the business ads.         Each category has little "rules".   If you're a business maintain your website daily and include your link in the BPE. The Calendar at the top of each BPE is the reminder of up coming events, please read it and use it and proof it.  Any notice with capital or bold words will be returned for a re-write.  Unsigned notices will not be published unless you can give me a good reason.  Use the Business Directory (I know, it needs work).  Most of the above does not apply to general notices.  Thank you for keeping the BPE fresh and an interesting quick read.   This  post will appear in the next 3 issues  (2/2/13)  Cheryl

I am owner of Sea & Adventures in La Paz. We run sea kayaking trips to Espiritu Santo Island. I am offering a kayaking/culinary trip to the island March 9-16. The chef I originally scheduled to do some cooking instruction on this trip is now unavailable so I'm looking for someone to replace her. 
Is there anyone out there who might be interested in doing this OR can recommend anyone, local or otherwise, who might be interested in spending a week kayaking, snorkeling, hiking and fishing on the island while offering a few cooking lessons? Contact me for details at mary@kayakbaja.com

Thank you for your support!

COMMUNITY MARKET  -  Saturday, February 2nd

a. Incredibly thick & creamy, farm fresh Greek style yogurt.  I will be sending my delicious yogurt with Ace, with Baja Biscuits, this Saturday to the Farmer's Market. Made with milk straight from the farm--grass-fed cows, and no hormones. Very thick and creamy. Come by for a sample taste. I usually sell out, so it is first come, first serve.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS - This category must have name and/or email

a.  Discussion:  Airport Terminals  -  Terminal One:  United...Continental...Air Canada...Aero Mex....Volaris were in evidence with no plans to move. (unsigned)

b.  We used Anchor Airport Parking (624-172-2319) yesterday and found a few wrinkles in the service.  They will supply transport to and from the terminals between 8 AM and 5 PM only.
Outside those hours, you walk or bum a ride with the car rental folks.
If you arrive at their facility after 8 PM or before 8 AM, there is an additional $20.00 US charge. The walk from terminal 1 to the facility at 7:40 last night was interesting. Check out the walkways through the barb wire fence in the daylight.  (unsigned)

Courtesy of the Gringo Gazette:  Be Careful Picking Up Friends
Be aware that there is a man stationed at every resort looking for people who are picking up tourists from the resort. They work for the taxi and tour bus organization and are trying to force all our visitors into using cabs for every movement. They look like cops, threaten to fine you, and they have been known to impound cars. If you pick up friends more than a few times from the same resort expect to be stopped by these watch men.
