I posted the GPS on my trip report from last Sunday's 4WD trip... we ended up at the Pyramid, then La Fonda Del Rio's for dinner.
OKAY: For the non-GPSer... Go Hwy. 1-D (Toll Road) between Rosarito and Ensenada (or use free road)... EXIT toll road at ALISTOS/LA MISION/PLAZA DEL
MAR off ramp... one or more of those names will be at the exit. Go NORTH on the free road ONE KILOMETER to Plaza Del Mar entrance (by that
pyramid)... near Km. 57. The Pyramid Resort is in there, follow signs that have you wiggle around a bit to the parking.

FREE FREE FREE
Come enjoy yourselves... Wine tasting and more! Meet Baja book authors, buy books, meet fellow Nomads (yup, I will be there)... I will be selling a
Baja mission book for an author who was there last year, but suddenly had to move back east... they are already autographed: http://www.bajamission.com IF I can get some stickers, I will be giving those away as well... Doug (BajaNomad) and family was there last year.
How about supporting the Pyramid, and stay the night? Contact Keri. http://www.pyramidresort.com

That minature Aztec pyramid has been ther for 30 years I think... You'll remember it when you see it.
It is about a mile north from La Fonda/Hotel La Mision on the free road. Hope to finally meet you then!

Thanks David you answered better than I could
Yep it's after the book signing and wine tasting. It's free but bring money to buy books and wine.Bring food. Bring tequila. Oh and that is for me not
the event. Ok just kidding. The potluck always turns out great, everyone brings their best stuff. GeoRock is the best at doing a blind tequila
tasting. and we all have a fantastic time. Come one, come all can't wait to meet some more Nomads in person, k bounce:

Bouncing Around Baja.
AND MY FAMOUS CHICKEN Enchilada Pie.
AND the most beautiful woman in the world--my wife!--50 years this October 14th

How late will things go on the 23rd, Keri?
I will be getting in around 5pm in the La Salina area. Will anything be going on or will I just be stepping over drunks?

Hook...
Mary Ann and I will be spending Friday and Saturday nights (others as well I believe) so while the planned parts of the book signing may end fairly
early, at least a few of us will be continuing into the evening. Hope to see you there.

Keri,
I can't believe my luck. We booked the weeeknd at your place a month ago and it's going to be at the same time as the party! I have read with envy
in past years, of your book signing, tequila tasting, potlucks. And what good fortune that our trip to Baja coincides with this.
I keep hearing about this La Fonda Del Rio. Where is this place? It sounds like it is close to La Palapa Del Jose? Which is very close to La Mission
and La Fonda. Can anyone help with instructions and comments about the food? What is good? How are the drinks? Ambiance? The Margartitas at La
Fonda aren't too whoopy in my opinion. Best Margaritas that I've had, are in Rosarito at La Cazuella Del Mole (sp?). Just my .02.

Read about my trip last Sunday in the Baja Trip Reports forum... gave exact directions to the La Fonda Del Rio's place... (it's next door to
Hotel/Restaurant La Mision, but park on the street... La Mision doesn't want Del Rio's patrons to use their huge, empty parking lot.).

Potluck is shaping up.
Please let me know what you are bringing. People keep calling and asking what to bring so they don't double up but I can't tell them. Come on you guys
help me out here.
Bernie I hope Sonora wind is reading this . He promised me last year he would be here to cook.
John Lee. Del Rios in just below La Mision in their parking lot on the water. Great food. Same sort of thing as La Fonda. Should be ,as I hear it is
a couple of the cooks from LaFonda.
I only have 3 rooms left. If you are going to want one do it now . See you all Sat. k

Can't wait!

Keri,
You should already have a mini suite room for us. I reserved it a month ago (or more).
I'm going to bring my home made Taco Twist chili. It makes a wonderful dip so I plan on setting it out as such, with a bag of local chips. It's not
easy to bring something al the way from Kansas. I just made a huge batch of it this afternoon and I will freeze a big container of it, double zip loc
bag it and pack it in my check-on luggage. It will still be frozen when we arrive in Alistos/La Mission, where we'll put it in the room fridge.
Can't wait. I might take Capt'n Mike's suggestion on which Tequila to bring.
