PYRAMID RESORT BOOKSIGNING #6 (2008)
This year, Bob H and Audrey joined us for a day trip to La Mision and the Pyramid Resort's 6th annual Baja book authors' signing and wine & beer
tasting party.
We reached the border just after noon to find some CHP activity closing many of the lanes before entering Mexico... This delayed us about 30
minutes... there was some traffic to the Playas de Tijuana exit, then smooth sailing from there!!!
The 2 toll gates we went through were each $2.50 US ($26 MN).
I filled up the Tacoma gas tank at the Pemex on the toll road, Rosarito South... took about 16 gallons, $45 US ($10.20 peso per dollar) made the price
of Magna about $2.80/ gallon, which is over a dollar a gallon cheaper than in San Diego.
We arrived at the Pyramid Resort and right away met BajaFun777 and his wife as we got out of the Tacoma... They are in the center...

Surprised to run into our old friend, Sonora Wind... I met Jim at Camp Gecko several years ago and he was kind enough to invite my daughter and I to
go fishing with him on Guillermo's Super Panga.

On the way home, we planned on having dinner at the Half Way House... but they were reserved for a wedding party... We will need to enjoy Chef
Johnny's cooking another time!
We went to Puerto Nuevo and the always great CHELA'S up on the third floor... Lot's of great chips, salsa, guacamole, ceviche to die for... all at no
extra price before dinner arrived.

The view from up there is great... we were the only gringos in the place, lot's of locals... which tells us that Chela's is THE place to be in Puerto
Nuevo.
