Mood: Luminescent Waves at Rosarito Beach

Fewer Spring Breakers this year forces Rosarito to do the unthinkable- invite the locals
The UT printed this on the front page in today's Enlace Section (spanish language) only- with no links to upload.
"Rosarito Speaks Spanish for your Spring Break"
For the first time Rosarito Beach authorities are trying to get Mexicans to come to the Spring Break Zone to play, eat, stay overnight and mingle at
the pools and rock concerts with the tourists for Semana Santa (Easter week and local school break). A 250 peso package per person
includes"hosting", food and the parties. Participating Spring Break hotels: Brisas del Mar, Festival Plaza, Las Rocas, Grand Baja Resort, and the
Rosarito Inn. They used the word "hospedaje" and I think that is use of the facilities of the hotel, not an overnight room. Talk about being
invited late to the party and not too many Rosaritenses will find 250 pesos per person affordable for a day-pass, but it's better to be invited to
party in your own town late than never.
The week's event starts today at 1-6pm for the Taco and Beer Festival. They have half of Benito Juarez Blvd blocked off- set up a stage, tables,
chairs and Taco/beer stations. Even I might have to take the off-road walker over for that one... it is in the daytime and there are 20 additional
bi-lingual Policeman, Fireman and Lifeguards assigned to the area for the week.
My nephew and his girlfriend go out dancing every weekend but never to the tourist zone to party- they said the clubs never make them feel welcome.
They wouldn't mind mixing with same -aged American kids to see how they dress, dance and act- but they and their friends don't go. They also prefer
Mexican/Spanish live music to dance to and Karaoke is still a huge nightly draw at the clubs away from the tourist zone.

Smart move. Estero Beach seems to be doing the same thing. Only the nimble (and flexible) stay alive in a tough economy...

No Spring Break for him
32-year old man shot 9 times in broad daylight in front of his two kids, aged 3 and 5, who were in the back seat of his car. You should recognize the
location as the north end of Benito Juarez in Rosarito.

I used to think the SEMEFO truck went around fixing intersection lights.
Nope...that's the coroner.

A reader's comment about this in Frontera:
| Quote: | Lo vi, pase en un taxi a esa hora, y lo acababan de ejecutar... senti refeo, la verdad... pero no sabia que sus hijos estaban ahi tambien.. cuando
llegue.. solo el estaba con agujeros en la cabeza, sentado al volante aun con el cinturon de seguridad.. Mi mas sentido pesame y condolencias a la
esposa y a los pequeñitos inocentes..
Señores, no se metan en problemas.. los niños al final la llevan quedandose sin papas, por favor!... mejor es un bocado seco pero en paz, que muchas
riquezas donde hay contiendas y cosas peores... acerquense a Dios, y empiecen a vivir una vida diferente... |
My translation:
| Quote: | I saw it, passed in a taxi at the time, and they had just finished executing him... the reality felt really ugly, ... but I did not know that his
children were there too .. when I arrived .. only he was there with holes in his head, behind the wheel and still with the seat belt on .. My deepest
sympathy and condolences to his wife and innocent little children ..
People, don't get into trouble .. the children will end up with no parents, please! ... better to eat crumbs in peace, than to have many riches where
there is also strife and worse ... Come to God, and start to live a different life ... |
