More On The Playitas Road Paving Project – Todos Santos

Posted on May 17, 2012 by howardekman| Leave a comment

I heard about this event this morning and then received an email about it also. Sounds like it won’t be too much longer before they begin the actual work on the road.

Dear Property Owners!

We have more great news regarding the Playitas Road paving project!

1. SAPA, the agency for BCS water, has finalized an agreement with the road project engineers to simultaneously install a new, larger water pipe down Playitas. This pipe installation is significant because the current pipe is old and inadequate in terms of servicing the increased number of residents down and off Playitas Road.

2. Our Sub-Delegado Jose David Cota Meza has announced that there will be a ceremony in Todos Santos this Saturday, May 19th, to inaugurate the Playitas Road Paving Project. Gov. Lic. Marcos Alberto Covarrabias Villasenor and La Paz Municipal President Estella Ponce will be in attendance along with our local dignitaries. It is very important that all of us who are currently in Todos Santos attend this ceremony so that we can show the solidarity that exists between the local Mexican and foreign communities, reinforce that we are part of this community, and support our Delegado and Sub-Delegado.

When: Saturday, May 19, 2012; 11:30 AM— ceremony to start at 12 noon.

Where: Pink building next to Los Pinos Market

Why: Together We are Strong!

See you on Saturday!

Sincerely,

Vickie M. Butler

Secretary

Association de Colonias

More Fog And Tropical Storm Aletta

Posted on May 15, 2012 by howardekman| Leave a comment

Yet another foggy morning – visibility about 100 meters. I can’t see the ocean nor the mountains from my house. If we have June weather in May, what comes next? It’s about 65 F outside at 8 am this morning, with a bright glare filtering through the fog.

Tropical depression One-E has become Tropical Storm Aletta with sustained winds of 40 mph. She’s heading west out into the ocean so no danger for Baja Sur. Today is the official start of the eastern Pacific hurricane season.

Another Foggy Morning In Todos Santos, Baja

Posted on May 14, 2012 by howardekman| Leave a comment

I returned from an overnight in La Paz and as I approached Todos Santos, I could see the misty haze and then FOG. Everything was clear until Todos Santos. I wanted to post this morning but also returned to a dead DSL modem which took most of the day to replace. I’ll make another post later about that adventure.

The photos (all taken around 8 am) should speak for themselves.

Todos Santos Baja In NY Magazine

Posted on May 12, 2012 by howardekman| Leave a comment

It’s turning out to be a busy posting day here in the fog of Las Tunas, Todos Santos. I just learned that Todos Santos is featured as a weekend escape in the current New York Magazine. (One notable irony – the author Krista Simmons plugs Bismarkcito in La Paz, the restaurant where the shooting occurred on Mexican Mother’s Day.)
