Want to watch US Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime from Mexico? The solution is a VPN or a DNS Unblocker. You can read more about these at vpnfreedom.com. I have tried the new DNS Unblocker service at unlocator.com, and it is the simplest solution I have found. Directions are easy, and for now it is free (as long as it is in public beta). They plan to ultimately charge $4.95/mo for this service. Give it a try now, as long as it is free! ••• craig@GeekAmI.com  ••• bajamary.com

Did you know there was a book written not long ago using Los Barriles as the setting? It's a work of fiction called "Ponga Boy" about a young Mexican boy's journey from small town bait fisherman to NCAA soccer star. While the story is geared more toward adolescents it is a fun read for anyone familiar with the area as it references lots of familiar faces and places. There are a few copies available at the Palmas de Cortez gift shop (English version). There is also a Spanish version and an Audiobook read by actor Tony Plana that could probably be ordered if anyone is interested. Contact shannon@vanwormerresorts.com  with any questions.
