Hey, Art
I thought this thread had died, so I hadn't checked in a while or I would have noticed your post earlier. Did you make it out with DavidK's crew to
Shell beach? When are you going to head down to the real Baja? The north is nice, but the south is better! Of course, I don't know of any roads that
will field test your motor home's most recent mods better than the Santa Maria Mission adventure. When you do decide to come, you're more than welcome
to stay at my place.
Steve

Steve, yes I did make it to Shell Island with David K, Baja Angel, Ken Cooke and his brand-new bride Leidys - this past July 4th weekend. Read the
Trip Reports forum. Shell Island's deep sand is tougher than the boulders of the Mision Sta Maria :-)
Thanks for the very kind invite to La Paz. A couple of trips down south are definitely in the motorhome's future.

OK, I'll make this easy.
Put on your 'NUM LOCK" (upper right of keyboard - some light should come on)
Holding the "Alt" key down, press:
164 for ñ
165 for Ñ
Want more? Let me know. Elizabeth

Hey, it works! Now, if I can just remember this, I'll be set. Better write that down on a piece of paper.
And, if might ask, what took you so long to post this? You made me look foolish with my prediction of however many people would flood the thread with
instructions on how to do it. Don't let that happen again, or I'll say something bad about you to Muñoz (just wanted to check to see if it works under
battle conditions).

Yesterday was our first San Jose/San Lucas shopping visit since last April. I had read the thread on the selling of CCC with aprehension. CCC had
been our favorite grocery store in BCS for years, no longer. The Cabo store has workers and construction all over the place. The parking lot is a
nightmare and the interior is the same. What use to be great steaks, now have about 3/4" of fat around them. Refrigerated items were much reduced by
selection. We won't go back till after the first of the year (hopefully the remodel will be done) and give them a final chance. I am not optimistic.
Our second favorite grocery store is Mega but we did not go there this trip. Instead we went to Wal Mart, Cabo, and had a great experience. No
lines, plenty of shaded parking, and a great selection of everything.
Sorianna's has been in third place in our view but we shall see how things work out with Mega and WM over the winter. We never got behind City Club
and rarely visit Sam's Club. We are still lucky to have options besides Aramburo.

I pray for the day one of the big chains opens a store in Mulege Municipality. There really isn't any place to buy quality veggies or fruits here.
Even if you happen on the delivery day things just don't look very nice or fresh. We do have a couple of places where you can buy Sanoran beef now but
their cuts aren't as nice as the CCC in La Paz. I just got a report from La Paz that there is a butcher there with a big cow out front that is suppose
to be excellent. Anyone know about this place? Some where near the mission.
Bahia Concepcion where life starts...given a chance!

Russ - the butcher you heard about could be in the grocery store that has a large statue of a cow up on the roof (I think it's an old Aramburos).
It's a couple of blocks off of the cathedral square and just down the street from Jesse's restaurant. Locals have told me that it is THE place to go
to get carne asada for tacos. It's not in my usual shopping zone, so I don't go there very often and have only ever bought meat for tacos, so can't
speak for the other cuts, but....the tacos were excellent - our local school teacher ate 5 of them when we had a bbq here a while ago.
Both Chedrauis in La Paz are also a construction mess - especially the Colima one, the Palacio store is not quite as bad right now. I was really not
a fan of Chedraui when it first opened, but I have to say that they are making an effort to get some items back that disappeared off of the shelves
when CCC went away. I have filled out a couple of those customer satisfaction forms at the check-out and, lo and behold, a couple of weeks later
those items were on the shelves. I imagine other people probably asked for them too, so the group effort helped. Also Chedraui's prices are really
pretty good.
