we have been having way too much fun, too many siestas to post here much. but will say - la paz is probably the most relaxing, friendly safe place we've experienced!

so... where can i buy supplements? i'm out of magnesium. :(

surely they're are vitamin shops here.

There is a health food store right across from the Irish pub(is it still there!?!?!?!) in downtown La Paz. I dont know the street names but it is on the corner just up from the Teatro.
Also there is a GNC at the Mega center in San Jose del Cabo.

Walmart or Sam's club seem like likely sources.:?:

Magnesium you ask?? You can make your own. Just pull one of the wheels off the local dope dealer's car and cut it into little pieces.

Oh well....I'm bored.

We were looking for a vitamin supplement and found that Walmart and Costco in Mexico had very little, but the health food restaurant which Judy is talking about is pretty close to the church plaza in La Paz and they have all kinds of interesting stuff.

thanks to all - yeah, even you, dennis. :)

i first tried quinto del sol, great food and terrible magnesium. ok, i'm a whimp and truly, it tastes like poison.

i'll try the place across from pub, first. and, love your icon/photo kate. is that at billy bobs?

for others that might stumble upon this searching for sups... walmart has close to zero on supplements.
went to the isste pharmacy and they recommended the specialty pharmacy across the street but it was closed yesterday. will try tomorrow. and also, city club and soriannos has been recommended...

if we stay another month, i'll checkout the gnc...

thanks again to all!

This wont begin to solve your dilema but it's a good source of high quality vitamins at good prices:

yeah, thanks dennis. i've used iherb before. good products and prices.

and if i knew we were staying another month, that'd probably be the smartest move.

but we don't know.

yeehaw, cowtown... i'm an ol' hippie from fort worth - fell in love with a cowboy at 15 and i've been following him ever since.

kinda guessed the mechanical bull might be a billy bobs thing. never did go there much but saw a few good shows there.
