Having attended other Mexican government functions in the past, and noting that they asked what organization you are with, I would guess they will provide name tags? The Tastes of Tijuana comes to mind from about 4 years ago...

Did everyone who is going tomorrow register on the web site, as requested???

The name tag I made has the Baja Nomad Logo and you can put your BN handle on it. If they provide name tags... Great..but it will be with real names, which we don't know...(mostly)

Not sure how long we will hang around, but I will bring my camera so those who can't be there will get to see some of the event.

Haven't heard if Doug (Baja Nomad) and family will be there... Hopefully there isn't a baseball game at the same time!

Hasta Maņana!:bounce:

Wine, food, and art from BaJa California will be featured tomorrow at the Embarcadero Marina Park, behind Seaport Village, in an effort by business and government to revive a struggling tourism industry.

Baja by the Sea, scheduled from noon to 6 p.m., will offer dishes such as fish tacos from Ensenada and Caesar salad from Tijuana, beer from three breweries and 30 types of wine.

Organizers of the free event have scheduled performances by the Baja California Orchestra, the Nortec Collective and Lux Boreal, a contemporary dance troupe. Organizers have also scheduled a demonstration of lucha libre, the wrest1ing performances that regularly draw crowds in Mexico.

Baja California Gov. Jos6 Guadalupe Osuna Millin and the state's five mayors will be playing host during the event, spearheaded by Baja California's restaurant chamber, Cantrac.

By showcasing the state's food and culture, promoters are hoping to persuade visitors to return to Mexico. A combination of factors - including drug-related violence, long lines at the border and the recession - has led to a dramatic drop in tourism in recent years.

"If the tourist isn't coming to us because of the crisis, we're going out to look for the market," said Francisco Villegas, Canirac's president.

A schedule of the event and directions are available at bajabythesea.org.

Will you provide the 'hand caught' dorado for fish tacos? :lol: :

Yah... good idea, I like my burro rare!

Gang, the weather prediction (if you are coming here from out of town) is grey skys and chance of drizzle... bring a light jacket or wind breaker. The ground is wet this morning in Oceanside.

See you in a few hours... we will probably be there about 1 pm and hang out for an hour or two.

There is definate drizzle to today. It is 9:00 a.m. and still dripping from our roof. We live about 8 miles from Seaport Village. Hopefully it will at least dry up as we plan on being there around 1 p.m.

See ya there...

It was a gray day... but any drizzle had cleared when we arrived about 12.30. What a wonderful location... delicious Mexican dishes, plenty of beer and wine, margaritas too. Entertainment. FREE!!

So glad we went. Good to see Jerry Sanders there with the Baja governor, city mayors, and other dignitaries. And some very colorful Nomads. An event to remember. Thankyou Baja California. Can't wait for next year.
