Elizabeth and Bob both ordered the lobster and carne asada... it was all very good...
Our two lobster dinners with 4 beers was about $50.
Thanks go to Doug Means (Baja Nomad) for first taking me to this place a few years ago... Always a hit.

We came home via the Blvd. 2000 and Tecate Toll Highway (2-D)... The toll was $7.50 US (75 pesos). All very fast and easy driving.
We arrived at the Tecate border line at 6:20pm and was inside the US in 38 minutes that Saturday (yesterday) afternoon. The border officer was very
friendly, scanned our passports, asked what we were bringing back (Bob's wine he won at the Booksigning), where we went... and that was it.
Sorry, but no gunfire or machetes waved at us to spice up this trip report... just good food and good friends!
Viva Baja everyone!

TJ Beer makes him invisible or maybe he's under the table, testing the goods.

It was bright, sunny, Baja day... and even though I had my camera set to auto flash... it didn't want too. So, I am sorry that everyone in the shade
in these photos are so hard to see! My bad!

David you are right it was a great day and even better running down from Brawley to the pyramid. Went through Tecate also then on to the toll road
and jumped off to Blvd. 2000 and then up the coast on the free road to the booksigning. Had my yamaha 650 V-star and kept up with no problem as my
friends were on a Harley Fatboy. On the way we did stop at La Posta Casino for breakfast and my friend won $50 with one dollar before sitting down to
eat and $90 more with $5 dollars before heading on to Tecate. We also checked on one of our retired friends that lives about 5 blocks up from the
park on avenue Benito Juarez but he had just left for the Valley we were informed by his yardman. We too had only good responses as people waved
continously as we passed them or they passed us. No problem with any police or banditos. My wife and friends really enjoyed the event and all of the
people we met. My friends have a place down in San Felipe and on have a few weeks left to enjoy it before it becomes way to hot. Ken wish you had
been there so I could have introduced you to my group but next year. Fernando was really a hit with my friends as was his wife. Life is good and we
should all take in as much fun as our "little pea picking hearts" will allow us to do  . Remember "No Hurry No Worry Just Fun" just a little phrase to
honor our man "Baja Bernie" who was also a hit my friends. Keri was really a great hostess and makes everyone feel at home as did her daughters and I
think their friends that were also maning the tables when you first got there. It was a load of FUN FUN, so next year hope more make this event.

Yep, that was a great time. I just got home a few minutes ago.
Everyone was super friendly and I had fun.
I think I have been to my 1st and last tequila tasting though! I ended up passing out in the tasting room after everyone was gone. That hasn't
happened to me in a very long time.
I love the Pyramid!

I was sure a lot of fun and it was great that the TJ Beer compay had no one to send down ad picked me as theire rep. It was great to be able to pour
all that free beer to my amigos. the food was delicious and the tequila tasting was a blast, not many samples but the right people made it fun. For
last years event I took a tequila that I thought was very good and it ended up last, this year I just looked for the cheapest (as in price) and I
bought a bottle of Tequila Jarana Autentico Reposado at Gigante/Soriana for $59 pesos for a 1.2 liter bottle and it was voted #1
The weather was great and we spent the night there at a beautiful 3 bedroom unit. We cooked chorizo con huevo in the morning along with some great
frijolitos. What a great weekend. Thanks
