Road Report - For all you doubting Thomases out there, the road is completely finished from the new bridge just south of Todos Santos to Cabo San Lucas. It is fabulous! Construction continues on that bridge which will be where the new TS bypass/truck route will join back into MX 19. Construction on the bypass road is well underway and the new road passes just 300 meters behind Barrio Nuevo San Juan. Work on Las Playitas was kicked of over a month ago when the governor of BCS came to dedicate it. There is now a sign announcing the construction and a little road scraping but no paving yet. It looks like they are waiting for SAPA to work on the water pipes before the paving begins. -- Name Withheld By Request

Hotel Casa Tota And La Santeña In Downtown Todos Santos - Last Alcohol Sales Till Monday! It's a dry election weekend, so get your party on Friday night:)- Don't sit on the sidelines and let it all just pass you by. Stand up! And Sing! And support our local musicians and rappers.
Friday, June 29, at 8 p.m.: M.C. Shipper Mtz, Chef Tony Peralta of K-L, Adrian from Los Traviesos on the accordion, and an all star cast are returning for a command performance at Hotel Casa Tota after tearing the place up last month. This is also Hesed's "Till We See You Again" Party as he is leaving for an extended trip to India. Another reason not to miss the good times. This is also your big chance to be part of the show. If you are bored, you are boring. Come Sing! Hell, you can hibernate all summer to lick your wounds if it all goes pear-shaped and your particular karaoke song is the worst ever performed. It's not likely, but neither are a lot of things that happen down here, so let's not rule it out. You could actually do the worst karaoke performance in the history of karaoke. But at least you'd always have that feather in your cap. Also, the screen is giant, so yes, you can see the words. And we have tequila, which we have discovered is the best short term voice training available. And, it's cathartic. This, I swear. Food and drink specials, revelry, live accordion, freestyle rappers, tequila, nervous singers, karaoke, police, puppies, hippies, bikers, rancheros, pochos, Canadians, Hesed- it's all going on at Hotel Casa Tota. Get in the mix, already. HotelCasaTota [- at -] gmail.com, www.HotelCasaTota.com, 612 145 0590 |

And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women. " ~ Nora Ephron from her Wellesley Commencement address, 1996
