ARROYO GRATING:
Thanks to the generous support of over 50 families, we have raised
the money needed to scrape and flatten the two arroyos north of LB.
The project was a little more than I expected but the job was
completed today by the Rendon company. We raised more money than the
$600 I stated was needed in my initial BPE posting and the extra
money was planned to be used for fill dirt. However, Julio Rendon,
who does all the highway road work from La Paz to Cabo, suggested
that additional dirt was not a good use of the money and it best be
held for additional grating. I appreciated his candor and the work
was completed using a water truck and rock removal. We actually
collected approx. $1400 which will be used for future projects. We
negotiated a repeat grating of the arroyos at a discount rate of
$500 which we plan to do when needed (maybe in 6-8 weeks?). I have
also asked Mr. Rendon to provide a quote to grate the beach road
which I will communicate when received. I originally planned to list
all the contributors but, graciously, there are too many to list. I
would like to add a special thank you to Rick & Julie Marks, Jan &
Woody Story and Jim Harrison for their especially generous support.
I would also like to add a special thank you to Rigo Lucero Silva
who was involved with me on the entire project as a translator,
negotiator and supervisor, all on his own time with no compensation
(in addition to his own contribution to the project). In conclusion,
I am again thankful and amazed at the spirit and generosity of most
people in our community to do what it takes to make our piece of
Baja the paradise we love.

JUNGLE CACTUS NURSERY IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO
If you are landscaping or looking for patio plants, I've had great
luck with Jungle Cactus Nursery in San Jose Del Cabo!
John Wenzel (from California) is the owner and is a pleasure to deal
with. The truckload of plants I purchased there are all thriving!
He grows many different types of palms (including the Bismarckia),
cycads, and other exotics. John will deliver larger orders to Los
Barriles for free. He also often has some type of discount going on
– just ask. His website lists current availability, prices, and has
a map.
He is located down a dirt road in back of Soriana in San Jose Del
Cabo.

c. I use Telcel Amigo when I am in the Baja. I regret that my
Spanish is woefully inadequate for coping with the firehose that
pours out of my celphone whenever I try to use Telcel's voice menu
services. I have yet to find a good English reference document for
Amigo. If someone has info on:
1. How to change your Telcel voice menu and prompts to English.
2. How to validate a new prepaid card over the phone.
3. How to retrieve voicemail messages.
4. A weblink to an English reference document for using Telcel Amigo
Can you please post it here, or email me at
asfrench@shaw.ca
