Opening Soon in Bahia Asuncion

Our friends, Jesus and Martha have been working hard to open their new family bar by father's day. But if they do not make that deadline, it will open fairly soon and we hope all visitors and part-time residents will send business thier way. They are really super nice people and we hope they are sucessful.

OK, for you map people and ones who get lost in Bahia Asuncion, here is the location on the very outdated Google Earth Map.



Not much to look at from the outside yet, but that will change.
Also, there will be a deck out front. This picture was taken a while back.


Jesus is going to build better stairs and have a small outdoor area on top---room for about 5 people and he promised to have good strong safety rails.



He is working on the bathrooms. He will have a septic so they will be real bathrooms. Also, he is going to connect to the city water. For electricity, for now he will have a generator and maybe solar in the near future until the electric lines reach that area.



For the inside, they have been collecting nautical items for decoration and are also creating a history of Bahia Asuncion wall.



They burned the wood for this bar area that will open to the outside--it is not reinforced yet.



Another view of the inside---they were camping in there at the time which is why there are toothbrushes in the old phone.
Jesus is a Bahia Asuncion native, but also lives in Rosarito. They chose to camp there this time instead of staying with one of their many family members in Bahia Asuncion so they could work from morning until night.


Martha on the left and one of their nieces, Brenda on the right. Brenda is attending school on the mainland and will return to BA as a nurse.



And Jesus on the right with his ever present smile.



So, we hope visitors will stop by when it is completed.

We'll be sure to stop by.

I especially like the speaker supporting the ceiling beam.

One must use what is available and besides, that is a very strong speaker.

The kids drive mom and dad home after they've had one too many...

Diane: Are you sure that isn't Armando on the right?

Depends what right you're talking about.
Your right or the "smiley" guy's right.

Gosh, can't imagine how you noticed. Yes Jesus is one of the 11 siblings and they all are easy to recognize as a Verduzco.

Diane

Nice post Diane... Good news for the Nomadians of Asuncion and visitors, too!

Shari... if you have any more 'got baja?' stickers from our visit, please add one to the new bar's sticker window or where-ever!

Shari, can you direct me to the bar in town that does have the ummmm.......pleasing ladies?................dt

Don't you go home and make a family after going to the bar

They are doing a history of Bahia Asuncion wall along with current Bahia Asuncion. I really hope they do not start one of those really ugly ego sticker walls or windows that pollute so many small places in Baja. Of course, it is their choice if they want to placate the egomaniacs who like to see their stuff everywhere they visit and even places they don't.

AMEN TO THAT!

Hallelujah! To not trashing up the local landscape with a bazillion stickers!

Selective reading???

SO, I only asked Shari if she still had any... as I gave her several along with some Baja Nomad stickers, when we met. You guys are really something! You miss mentioning the local person who wanted to add a sticker and go after me...

'got baja?' is all about bringing a smile to fellow Baja travelers... that's it.

Again, we have a failure to communicate: I did not suggest adding a sticker to the new bar. I only was asking if Shari still had some.

They are BUMPER STICKERS... if they are put anywhere else, make sure they are in a place where they are already there and the owner says okay.

I like to share the fun of Baja... help others to have a fun time, help the locals improve their condition... It is NOT about me or my ego. You found out about Asuncion because of Shari and the web site I made for her... and suggesting she come to Baja Nomad. Yah, that was sooo ego-ish of me that YOU now have a home there!

Originally posted by David K Quote: Originally posted by jdtrotter No one is "going after you"----such an ego trip David. Yes, Shari suggested the sticker and I stated my opinion about stickers in lots of places in Baja and my hope that they will keep to the Bahia Asuncion Wall and not placate the egomaniacs, some of whom also seem to be paranoid. So some agree that the stickers are a blight on the landscape, and you see it as going after you----sorry, David, hate to disappoint you, but it is not all about you.

Yes, it still has to do with your ego, but I guess you do not understand that. But back to the topic of stickers.

OK, you quote where I wrote that it was Shari who suggested the sticker and then you AGAIN have to say you did not suggest it. I never said you did???

Again, I really hope the new owners will NOT allow ANY stickers because they are eye pollution----but, it is their decision to make, not mine nor Shari's.

Again, my sentiment about it being egomaniacs wanting to put their stickers everywhere was about EVERYONE---not just you---strange that you read it as being about you.

The only other reason I see for stickers etc. is the promotion of business, and it is still eye pollution. Nothing like sitting in a restaurant and trying to see out a window covered with that junk.

Well, the good thing is that while business is often promoted on this forum in very indirect ways, this thread was posted as a very up front promotion of a new business because we really like the owners. So, as long as you whine about being picked on, and tell everyone how wonderful you are, the thread will stay on top.

Bump the Bar not the stickers.

Interesting and very telling when the Got Baja stickers are joined to Baja Nomads----says a lot.

Comitan, back to the bar now.

whooo boy...never saw that word in a forum before....

bet that one disappears very shortly....

fromthehip, Adios.

Jesus has plans of having snack type food. He mentioned ceviche, chips, etc. However, like most businesses, I imagine it won't all happen at one time.

I don't think he will have a full blown restaurant. His sister, Gloria, who had the restaurant at the hotel now has the restaurant at her house by the main beach in town. They tore down the one at the hotel, but another sister, Yoli, is running a small restaurant out of a couple of the rooms at the hotel so I doubt he will open a restaurant any time soon.

It really is quite small, but who knows, if it works, maybe they will expand.

She's had a few lately

Just can't help it. Maybe it is that 5 1/2 foot camera.

Zac
I love your idea and who knows, and I will suggest it to them in the future. During tourist season, I can see where that could really work well.

I hope they can get it up and going as soon as they hope. They hope for father's day, but know that may be too optimistic.

BTW

That one should be printed and put in Gabriel's babybook.

bye bye potty mouth!

He is back and really, it is all your fault. You bought the Casa Rosa that he wanted so badly and now he can't be my neighbor.

Best wishes for Jesus an Martha on their new venture, hope I can stop in for a beer some day. Been wanting to check out B.A. and see what that side of Baja looks like.

Dianne, I have too admit from outside looking in you never miss an opportunity to hassle David when he posts, say what you will about not directing it towards him but it sure doesn't look that way, why not give it a rest...... Some of us don't want to read peoples snide remarks towards others

I apologize, sincerely as it is not my intention to annoy others even if it is a two way street. I do let him irritate me when he talks for everyone, defines Baja and Nomads according to his definitions, inserts his politics at every turn when it does not belong anywhere except in off-topic, and then there is the kayak incident that I won't repeat here that speaks to his character.

However, on this thread, I really was speaking in generalities, but I did make the mistake of only quoting him---my mistake.
He really is not worth the time or effort. Besides, if stickers appear in the new bar, maybe the one that has the X over the smiling sun will appear. It is my favorite.

I will, however, try to do better and simply ignore him---it is, afterall simply a forum.

Diane

Diane,
I don't agree with DK on a lot of things he posts but he is a wealth of info for those whose who seek it, and he gives it freely, take it or leave it. He seems to take the high road most of the time when challenged.
I could list some things that you posted too that didn't go over so well too but that is not the high road is it
Peace, Love, fish taco's, and thank god we are not all the same.

I very much agree with you, well almost. He does know a lot about parts of Baja and does share his knowledge as do a lot of people here. I have and do enjoy his information about things about which he has knowledge. High Road? No, that I cannot agree with---I found that out the hard way the first time I disagreed with him about a place he liked---old history.

And yes, I know I have stepped on toes---even at times when I didn't know it, and it will probably happen again. But I hereby promise to try and ignore all of his threads and posts---unless he attacks a friend, then that is different.

Diane

Ya, thanks Diane! Looks like a good reason to visit B.A. I hope opening day is when the fishing gets good.

Well, at least you two can walk back home. It is just those uneven sand dunes that might cause you some problems.

Damn, this is the Jackpot, I finally get to read some really juicy stuff before it got deleted.

Oh Gawd do you think we could get away with that? Duct tape? We could always tell the powers to be that it was our seat belt. hahahahaha.

Now I wanna bring something to hang on the wall there. How bout pictures? I got plenty of pictures of around that area.

Barb

As long as everyone agrees not to BBQ the donkeys.

OK, you can put a bag of mesquite wood in front of your donkey, but no grills.

I DID A STICKER ON A THINGY IN LA BAJA

after "pleasing ladies", dancing girls are next on my list!!!!

I just hope they will be smiling all the way to the bank even if it is 70 miles away.

WAS THAT YOU I SAW!! Collecting stickers from the passing trophy truck crews?

As cold as you get in Bahia Asuncion, it had better all be made out of heavy fur.

The pole dancing should be good for a few laughs.
