I did not see his name on the list.(elgatoloco) Is he not attending.? Bob H. Are you bringing any stogies with you?? I will bring a few. Looking
forward to meeting all of you. How far from the border is the Tijuana Cultural Center?? How far is the Palma Azul from there?? I do not spend too
much time in Tijuana and am not that familiar with locations. Thanks, Baja Red

cecut is very easy to get to.
crossing the border, get under the sign that says zona rio. This puts you on paseo de los heroes, the main drag through zona rio. proceed down this
street in the left lane until you get to the traffic circle at indepencia. there will be a statue in the middle of it. what you want to do is
actually use the traffic circle to make the equivalent of a u-turn here and go the other way for one block, turning right on javier mina. the
cultural center will be on your right. I think the parking lot is either off javier mina or just around the corner on via rapida poniente, which this
street dead ends into.
The omnimax theatre is easy to spot, so it's pretty hard to miss.
Returning to the states is even easier. all you will be doing is essentially going around the block, by taking Via Rapida Poniette and taking the
exit to indepencia on the right. Stay to the right and go to the right on the traffic circle at paseo de los heroes and stay on that street to get
back to the border.
hope that helps.
here is the address and telephone # for the resturant, as posted by marla in another thread.
PALMA AZUL (Peninsular Cuisine)
Blvd.. Salinas No. 11154
Col. Aviaci?n
Tel: (011-52664) 622-9773 Thru 75
this puts the place on blvd. gustavo salinas. I am not sure where the cross street is, as my map does not have block numbers, but this street is a
branch off of agua caliente blvd., another main drag thru town, and isn't very long, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
I will just be following the other hungry nomads!

Baja Red,
We really wanted to attend this, but we have had plans for months to camp with about 20 other close friends at Lake Nacimiento (near Paso Robles).
You all will have fun - no doubt. Will look forward to seeing photos of everyone and reading tales of the event.

Sorry if I wasn't clear Mike... This message board is for use by Baja Nomads (registration required and there's over 1000 registered). Antonio
(BajaCactus) asked that I show which Nomads are coming. The 'non-Nomads' are good Baja amigos who are not (yet) Baja Nomads (as far as I know) who
heard about the fiesta from my emailing them, and not this forum. There is still room for you and Darleen!

same block that Subway and KFC is located, and from there i can guide you guys down to Cecut, easy drive.

Boo-Hoo...
We too have had long standing camping commitments with old neighborhood friends from years ago...we get-to-gather every four years (or so) up at Pine
Crest Lake above Sonora...it'll be fun to break out the cards and have a big ole' Texas hold-em game again!
Sure do wish we could be down there in Baja with all you 'Nomads', though! We'll swat a few no-see-em's in the evenings, and be thinking of you guys,
and all that great food and drink you'll be enjoying!
Have a great time, and let the rest of know how it went, when you get back!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

since this is a group event, i have no doubt that there will be signs out for us telling us where we are to park. (at least reccomended by the
organizers). a nominal fee (i think it was 4 bucks?) for the whole event is what it costs to park there.
I got a few things to do in TJ tomorrow, so I will have a firm fix on the parking situation and other things like that tomorrow.

Keri, at 8:25 tonight I emailed everybody (I think) a close up of a easy to read map. Of course it is targeted people crossing the border and not you
folks coming from the south! Park in the CECUT/Omnimax Ball Building's pay lot for the event 10am-4pm then those who are continuing on to PalmAzul for
'Peninsular Cuisine' will have a map to there made by Antonio, plus we will be quite a group of cars going... Jesse, JR, Doug and his BIG family, and
perhaps some others will find a more moderate place for dinner if they wish. I do expect most have been hearing about PalmAzul and are dying to try
it... Antonio told them to expect about 60 (+/- 10), I think. The entire fiesta before dinner is free (2 movies, museum guided tour, music, snacks,
pitahayas, more)... so for the price of the fancy dinner and museum parking, we got quite a day... Sort of a BAJA DISNEYLAND! Remember there are
hundreds of dollars worth of door prizes to be given away, also! Hopefully, most can afford the ~$50 total cost...

elgatoloco/Bob H.
Sorry that you two will not be able to make it. I guess that meeting you will have to wait for another time. elgatoloco..I plan on golfing at Bajamar
in November. Going down with a few golf buddies but if you are interested in meeting us there let me know. Bob H. We will have to wait for another
time to share a stogie and swap Baja stories. I am sure that there will be plenty of photos posted of the "Baja Cactus Fiesta. Otherwise enjoy your
vacations/wedding etc. Baja Red

Have fun everyone!
I'm truely bummed that I can't make this event, to the point that the hubby even said "just get an airline ticket and fly down" Nice for him to say
that, but, $400 plus overnight hotel? (not to mention the worse part, going to Sea-Tac and dealing with that?)  I hope that someone takes alot of pictures (DAVID?) again, have fun everyone, and to calm myself from my Baja
Fever, I'll be camping at our own desert (Eastern Wa.)
