 According to an article by John Pack in the January
2010 edition of Mexico Living, the Mex 5 road
south of San Felipé from
Puertecitos south towards Gonzaga Bay and ultimately connecting with Mex 1
south of Cataviña has
apparently been paved in first class fashion to within 5 miles of
Puertecitos. Ugh! There goes the 4x4 off-road neighborhood.

 Ever wonder why
Loreto, San Felipé, Los Cabos and other select
Mexican destinations come into being and grow like crazy? It's not luck or
coincidence. It's all very well-planned. Thanks to Fonatur,
the "institution responsible for the planning and development of sustainable tourism projects."
And with respect to the Baja Peninsula specifically, there is
the vision of the Escalera
Nautica, the Nautical Ladder --- a
mega project. As of August 2009, this project was HALTED by the
Mexican federal government.

 Yippie! The new Baja
Almanac is out! After being out of print for 4 years and
losing both my copies, I ordered 4 to make sure I have a backup and
give two away as gifts.

| Saturday,
January 30
Lunch with Lionel & Judy in Pacific Beach (San Diego). Overnight at Roberts K-38 Surf Motel for $10. What a dump! |
Almost none on this trip. This trip is
strictly business so I can make a decision. See little red book for
details.
I came down to apartment hunt. And network (mostly with ex-pat Americans at the Bahía Cantiles bar. For a little casita or small condo. Saw a few between $375 - $475 per month. Most were nearly beachfront. Fully furnished. Including utilities. What to do when one has no job? |

| None. See little red book for details. | Paid for a 4-hour private Spanish lesson from Luis Montañez while I had the VW Jetta serviced. Overnight at Costa Dorada Motel for $20. Tolerable. No heat. | |||||||
| Monday, February 1 | ||||||||
| An earthquake rocked us for about 5 seconds in the early morning hours. |  |
|||||||
| Border crossing was horrendous today --- a 2½ hour lineup (I was in a slow lane). |
