Alan.....Thanks for the El Bajo report. Good news about the yellowfin. No sign here yet although there have been seiners in the area so there are probably some about.
As for the immigration encounter, I thought you were relating it as an amusing anecdote, not a plea for help and advice, but it sure brought the armchair Baja experts out of the woodwork. If the $26 is still an issue I have a friend in Tijuana who I'm sure for half would get it back from the old lady and for no additional charge break one of her legs. It would be no trouble at all since her bones are probably brittle. Let me know if you want me to get you in touch.....

Funny!
Thanks for sharing Alan.
The Hwy. 5 bridges south of Puertecitos were washed out on Oct. 1, 2018 (so not quite a year ago). However, the 10 miles of detour along the new highway work north of Puertecitos has been a thing since 2017! The Oct. 1 flash flood just set them back to ground zero on that project!

Thank you Alan for your report.
I just missed you and your daughter in La Paz. Maybe another time.

I know, I went down just before you and then went back down just after you left. Please don't think I was trying to avoid you. :lol::lol::lol:

I'll be heading down again at the beginning of Oct and we stay until just before Thanksgiving when we come home for the holidays. Hope you can make it down then and we get a chance to say Hola! Good time of year to go to Asuncion. You'll have a blast! La Paz is getting hot!

That was funny how I kept missing you especially since I looked forward to talking more about La Paz with you.
November is a time I want to go down so I will talk to you about that soon. Thank you!
