A meeting with 'BajaCactus' (Antonio)... News on the July Festival
Yesterday afternoon-evening Antonio, Lorenia, and 'Little Lorenia' where in San Diego/Chula Vista... baby checkup, shopping for special telephones for
El Rosario Pemex and motel personal, and some time with Elizabeth and I.
The baby is doing great... big smiles... Mom, too.
Antonio has been real busy... driving to El Rosario twice a week to attend to business (Baja Cactus Motel and Pemex) and working on the BIG FIESTA!!!
The BAJA-ROSARIO CULTURAL FESTIVAL JULY 22-24 is celebrating the founding of El Rosario in July 1774 and will be the first such fiesta the town has
ever had marking that date.
There will be an expo to show the area's industry (sea food, agriculture, etc.), food fairs for our culinary pleasure presnted by the many restaurants
in town, historic tours of both mission sites in Rosario (Arriba y Abajo), story telling by the old timers in town (around a bond fire at the beach),
a beauty pagent, beach camping facilities, possible driving tours to: a near by cardonal (cactus forest), dinosaur bone discovery site, Las Pintas
petroglyph & fossil grotto, a sea lion hidden cove, etc.
As details are many, and it is still over 2 months away, stay tuned to Baja Nomad! There are approx. 60 rooms between the three motels in Rosario,
camping on La Bocana beach (about 3-4 miles away) will have porta-potties, volly ball nets, and security for when you are in town or on tour.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS JULY 22,23,24 (FRI. SAT. SUN.) Events will begin Friday afternoon at 2pm. and run until Sunday PM.... Those who experienced the
first Baja Cultural event know how great that was: http://vivabaja.com/fiesta and that was all done by Antonio's family... This time, the entire town of El Rosario is involved...!

Who cares? Aridologists don't like water! Or baths.

Any particular Carribean island, Bob? 
Are there any good non-communist cigars? 
Remember this evening (good times with cigars)?:

I can't wait! As soon as Antonio told us that there would be a second Cultural Fiesta and that it would be in El Rosario, I said SIGN ME UP! I think
this is going to be a very enjoyable event. I look forward to meeting again the nomads who made it to the first cutural fiesta, as well as all the
nomads who didn't make that one but plan to attend this one.
And surfer jim, I think there may have to be a special conclave of the Sacred Saints of the Secret Spots before any "secret spots" can be disclosed!
