Another bar story
I have started working to become an "Ultra Nomad" hence these true posts, as I usually rarely post. This story is once again from our bar at Cielito
Lindo, San Quintin, Baja.
Two little old ladies were in the bar and Juanita struck up a conversation with them. Seems one lady was from back East, visiting her sister. Seems
the lady from back East had her dog die and did not have a place to properly bury her beloved pet.No problem said her sister, ship the dog out to
California and we will bury it in my yard. The lady caught an Amtrac from back East and shipped her dog as baggage in her suitcase. The lady arrived
in California but her dog didn't. Grief stricken, the two sisters consoled each other and decided to go to Baja to get over the grief. Juanita
listened to their story and grieved with them. A few years pass. Juanita is in her house when her son Phil comes up and says he met a really
interesting person at the bar. The man worked for Amtrac and had lots of interesting stories to tell. Juanita went to the bar to talk with the man,
but he had left for Mulege. A week passes before he returns. Juanita runs across him in the bar and talks with him. "What was the strangest thing you
had happen to you working for Amtrac".
"A dead dog in a suitcase" he replied!

Is that the Gene
that used to or still does run a panga fleet out of the area? Believe his name was Allshouse or something similar. I haven't seen him in probably
10-12 years although I have been to the Buzzard.

Guess I didn't know the bar had that name...isn't that the place that had that fat pot-bellied pig running around the bar eating nachos? Also the
water from the shower smelled like sulfur? Great crab platters..with paprika seasoning? That the place?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Many years ago I met Tom Miller there while having dinner. We visited and he went out to his vehicle and came back with his pocketbook, Eating Your
Way Through Baja, which he autographed for me with this inscription..."May Montezuma's shadow never cross your path." I liked that bar atmosphere a
lot. Nice stop, but a bugger of a road as I remember.

Nothing funny here but just a nice bar story.
My wife and I spent a couple of days camped at Cielito Lindo a few years back and we had a few unexpected expenses so we were right on the edge of our
available funds to buy enough petrol to get home. There was a guy named Frank there who was building a house a few miles south of there who we drank
w/a few nights and he just up and gives us a few hundred pesos so he wouldn't worry about us if anything happened..hell of a nice guy. I insisted on
his PO Box in San Ysidro so I could send him a check and it took him an eternity and a follow up letter to get him to cash it.
That trip is also when I learned to stay out of a 3rd margarita there after a few beers. I think that is the first and last time I have BBQ'd and
eaten a steak lying face down in the dirt. I wonder what the family in the Volvo station wagon that pulled up next to us thought of that. They did not
come over to say hello, that's for sure.

Here's a worse one: A piece of string walks into a bar. Bartender says " Get out! We don't serve string here." The string leaves, ducks into an
alley, twists himself around, unravels his top end and re-enters the bar.
"Hey", says the barkeep, "aren't you that piece of string I just threw outta here?"
"No, I'm a frayed knot."
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

PacO, I have a question for you. I can't count the times I have heard people talk about the killer Margaritas at Cielito Lindo (A friend of mine
refers to it as Cielito Feo, but that's another story). I have had them a few times - and I must say that I think they are some of the worst
Margaritas I have ever had. They are strong, true enough, but as for quality of the Tequila and the mix ... 'nuff said from me on that. As someone
whose opinion on matters such as these I trust, tell me - am I nuts? Look to much like a dumb tourist? Right?

Well, I will say this Roberto: that is the first and last time I have and will drink tequila that comes out of a plastic one gallon? jug shaped like a
beehive. Yes, I was that stupid tourist . Thank god I wasn't in the hoosegow
because I'd have been in deep doodoo. Only took once, though! Even the Irish have their limits! Add to the mix how peeed off mi esposa was...... damn
that was a headache. I swear, there must have been GHB or rohypnol in those things.
Never, ever again.

Paco,
The swill you engested is sold locally at 89 cnts a pint! always in a small beehive shaped plastic bottle, very good
for removing ticks off dogs, and cattle, I drank some once, as
did you but I got arrested and spent an overnight in the local
hoosgow for howling at a non existing moon!!
Don't think that this qualifies on the other thread, as best Tequilas i have known!!!!!!

Paco!
By the way, I'm Irish Too!!!
Maybe, explains, What? Wine is good to brush your
teeth with, gin sucks! Good tequila is expensive, but maybe
worth it!! Try Don Julio or Porfidio, Sabrosa!
Slurp,
