Much love and prayers going your way!!
Live life as well as you can,

Dear Mr & Mrs Baja Gringo,
Brett & I are so happy you are recovering from your ordeal. We have learned alot from you and tho we have never met we consider you a good friend
to have in Baja. All of the Nomads came to you in whatever ways they could to offer what support they could because you are a very special family and
have given so much to us. We just wish we could have been in a better position to come to your aide. Well God Bless and keep you and your family
safe, our prayers have been answered.

Whew!!! What a ride! So glad you are safe and on the mend. Like all the other Nomads here I have read with anger, saddness, awe and wonder the
outpouring of caring and regard for you and your wife. I have been touched by the generosity and support that this group can generate in times of
trouble. Vagabundo said it well about community. We are all blessed to have this wonderful group of cyper friends at our backs and their wind in our
sails, sometimes better to be upwind of some of that wind. I digress.
I hope that from this experience we will all take the time NOW to clarify the medical resources available to us in Mexico. It is a complicated system,
especially when you add the cultural differnces to the mix. We all should have a durable Medical Power of Attorney, someone we trust with our lives.
This Medical Power of Attorney is available in both the US and Mexico.
At some point I hope we will start a thread on this very important topic.
For now, it is wonderful to have our friends back and on the road to recovery!!!

Wow Im new to this board and have been reading this thread for the 2 weeks Ive been here. It is heartening to say the least, that this group is so
cohesive and caring. I read with horror and disgust about your ordeal Ron and Cristina.
It saddens me that situations like that exist in this world but on the other hand it lifts my spirits to know there are good people that will not
hesitate to rally for a friend. Hope to meet you someday Sir.

RON - The Governors office is calling me - they are on the phone right now - they want your phone number and email address. URGENT!!
Okay - well, I called Serenita and she is going to get in touch with Ron and Crissy so I can pass on information between the two. Just so everyone
knows - the Governor has heard us!

Good thing it wasn't an important emergency, but I'm sure he's a busy man.

Hey Ron and Cristina,
So happy to hear you are recovering physically. Now you need to begin the mental/emotional healing. Take your time and get there at your pace.
Look forward to seeing you in Baja,
Ted

Know that there is a lot of love on this board directed to you and your wife.

What Chuck said, and I'll add that I've done some serious navel-gazing as a result of this thread and have concluded that I need to be far more
prepared for this sort of calamity, even if that means losing a good chunk of the good old "flock it, whatever" feeling I've depended on Baja to give
me over the years. Time to finally grow up? Maybe, but just a little bit.

It's just a matter of all of us keeping up with the times. Baja isn't all the museum some wish to think it is.

Uhhm, I Have Refrained From Posting This
While Ron and Cristina were in crisis.
But, when I told hubby about their situation, he replied, "Now you you know why we have dogs and a fenced property inside a gated community."
He added, "When someone arrives unexpected at our gate, ringing our bell and asking for entrance, I always let the dogs out first and then establish a
protocol."

Safety comes first... even our late amigo 'jrbaja' lived inside a gated community while posting publicly against them as isolating yourself from the
'real' Mexican experience.

Jr. Got out of the gated community as much as he could and did a lot of associating with the Mexican community. Especially farms and rancho's.

well...may wonders never cease ... the Gov himself ...maybe he will pay the billsssssssssssssssssssssssssss
qui sas qui sas qui sas
I seem to have read somewhere that he was out of the country ??? somewhere in Asia ??? Cause I can't believe he would have ignored all of us. N he
was on my mind last night.
I also got a San Diego paper from a couple days ago and homicides are UP, way up in San Diego. Last year was a record low and this year is looking
like it will be high.
Can't wait to hear what the Gov has to say ....

Dennis, you're such a hard ass.. ..
OK NEWBIE, jgreenlaw1
Try going back to Sept 13th. You'll find pictures.........But take Dennis's advice and go get the beer anyway... ....
Don\'t mess with the old dog...... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Brilliance only comes with age and

Are you getting the most out of life OR is life getting the most out of you ?? 
Twenty years from now you\'ll be more disappointed by the things you didn\'t do then the things you did.
