thx Ken and Pompano - i'll just borrow yours roger if that's ok - i ain't looking to build a libary, just want to read what he had to say about the old days and i'll return it sans dog ears.

Gawd i miss the old days of when Bill Alvarado ran the place.........
if he was still there i'd have a home there by now i'll bet. but heck, Don j treats me like royalty at Serenidad, can't complain at all.

A lot of us do. Many fond memories of the place.

If you find yourself over there, a new restaurant has opened on the north side of the runway. Chabato's is the name I think, the owner is Pepe and is a very cordial host. The food is excellent. He won 1st place for his salsa in Mulege recently. Give him some business.

One hell of a good read!
