Oh, yuck! What are people getting in Baja that requires flagyl?

Giardia, mi amigo. Got it once in Puerta Vallarta but I think came from some ceviche (which I haven't been able to eat since). Hubby got it in Baja
once but we think that came from a tamale.

Not that I need an excuse to drink beer, but questionable water will do most anytime.

" and a bad taco from Mc Lulu." I told you all that place was not good. I know lots of Mexicans that will not eat there. I sure won't and I've been
going to Loreto for 36 years. Nice lady, good conversation, bad kitchen.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Why? Does it taste that bad everywhere in Baja or is there another reason.. Are you aware that the most recommended method or treatment of purifying
any fresh water is to boil it. Cooking with it is paramount to the same if you reach anything over 212f. It is true that some bacteria have
higher thermal tolerances but they involve high protein processed food not just plain water. I've never heard this before. Please explain???? Thanks.

Why say anything?
I never drink my tap water stateside and offer no excuse to my visitors.
I prefer water w/o chloroamines.

The water goes off and on so often that there are days you can not do laundry with it and certainly can not cook with it.

Oh, now I get it. Yikes!

Well I drink tap water from time to time. But I don't drink water from swimming pools, especially if it has a yellowish tinge.

Water? It's good to wash with every now and then, but drinking it is another
story.
