Hey Grover,
I am heading down to Ensenada this Friday for the bike ride...I might have room to take some bikes down. I will let you know later this week once I
figure out how much room I am going to have.

Gene...
Have you been through Globos or the other Segunda areas lately? Probably a lot of helmets available for good prices. I need some "new" Hawaiian
shirts so I'll try to get up there as well.

Reading through the above posts has made me so jealous (and proud) of you all who are there doing such worthwhile projects down there and having a
good time shopping in the segundas. Enjoy every minute of it - would love to see some photos of the kids getting their bikes (and helmets!). They
will be thrilled. Give them extra hugs from some of us gringos who have to stay North of the border for now.

Thanks Grover. This is awesome stuff. Brings back such fond memories of when we lived in Cantu and were able to actually rub shoulders with many of
the children in the community who, often in their physical need, taught us so much about life. How to embrace it and make the most of your
circumstances - and somehow find such incredible joy in the midst of it. Keep up the good work, all of you.

Mision Acomplished! Bikes delivered and I am safely returned to Costa Mesa.
What a great experience and a super good way to start any trip farther south!
Pick up some needed item and deliver it to the people who know where it should go. Great BajaNomad karma for sure.
And then there are the nomads that live there at Punta Banda.
First off Grover is a real nice guy and your classic San Diego layed back cool guy. Grover, you Rock!
Okay, I need to rest and eat. I've got more so check back...

Okay, I'm back. Wow, was I tired!
Ya, Grover was super cool!
So on down to Ensenada and arrived a little late so decide to stay and go to Punta Banda (PB) in the am. An Ensenada side story to come later.
About 9am or so I venture to PB
and find Bajabound2005. I now understand why everyone likes PB so much. What a beautiful place and awesome view. The weather was perfect and blue sky
forever.
I'm met the BB2005's and supernice people living a great Baja life. They explained a little about the kids and I was really impressed and sooo glad I
could do a small part to help.
Such nice people and place and soon I find I cannot leave I like it so much. But bikes are unloaded and I'm am given directions to my next
location...Bajadock's Pub...
... To Be Continued!...

Sorry Vince(Bajamigo)! I knew I was going to goof that up. Then who is Bajabound 2005?
Anyway I dropped the bikes at Bajamigos house and he and his wife Kathrine (man, I hope I got that right!) are superfine people and I loved hanging at
their house and chatting.

What happened to them? Perhaps John and Arlene [ is that right? ] can shed some light on this.
