COMMUNITY MARKET  -  Saturday, February 23rd

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

a.  WOW! What a feast at Octavio's restaurant in El Cardonal.
The food was over the top with many people lining up for seconds!
We had a core group of 16 people at one table and there were seventy plus people at the event.
Live music was provided by two smooth guitars playing easy listening hits by Santana and other guitar greats. Highly recommend Octavio and his staff. Gary and Marlene (Rancho Pescadero)

b.  Hand Surgeon:  My husband snapped a tendon trying to start a quad... and had to have surgery to reconnect it.  We absolutely loved Dr. Javier Escamilla - and the surgery was completely successful.  He is fluent in English (and has studied at University of Texas Health Center).  I believe he has offices in both San Lucas and La Paz.  My highest recommendation. 
  http://loscabosdoctor.com/Dr-Javier-Escamilla.html
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Good luck.

c. Tecate Crossing:    We’ve used the Tecate crossing at every opportunity when heading north.  It has had a new route and crossing for probably 4 or 5 years; can’t remember exactly.  We usually stay overnight in Ensenada, then get to Tecate at about 9, and it has never taken more than 1 hour, usually less.  There is still just one lane (the other lane is for commercial trucks), but there are multiple lanes once you get to the US border crossing.  Just follow the signs to the entrance of the waiting line.  It is ½ mile or so east of the actual crossing, so you head out of town to the east, then double back to the crossing.  Most of the waiting line is right next to the border wall.    Good luck!

d.  Good news!!!  We have extended the deadline for pre-registering and  assuring yourself a Road Runner Beach Bash 5K T-shirt  to March 1, 2013.    You can pre-register at the Road  Runner Cafe'.   The race is at 9am. on March 23rd. and will be totally run on the beach.   The race start is at Buena Vista La Playa and runs north along the beach to the turn around at Costa Brava.  We also have a 1K for people 12 and under.  All 1K runners will receive finisher awards and T-shirts.  Cost for 5K is 100 pesos and 25 pesos for the 1K.  We do have sponsorship for 1K entry fees.  There are two categories:  barefoot and shoed.  There are many age group divisions.  Proceeds will go to help students pay for their high school tuition fees.  For more info contact Bonnie at Bajabonnie7@gmail.com
