About one hour ago at the Bay near the famous joke the put up there - oooopss, it was already there, they just remodeled it AND wanting to build one of the super deals right next to it…. the La Paz Grand Spa(ss) - what a joke. Makes the writer want to puke every morning […]
La Paz, the city of peace by definition, in for a boom?? We are not sure yet - like many other people we are sitting back and watching. La Paz is a “real” Mexican city, not a tourist haven like Cabo San Lucas and many people, locals and resident foreigners, hope that a wide-spread “gringonization” […]
Well, I'm happy there is no hurricane or even "just" a tropical storm IVO ( or any other name for that matter ). The Baja could use the rain yet not the way it dumps down on us at times when these weather situations occur. I am personally glad nothing is happening here because my […]
Hurricane IVO is not a highly organized category one hurricane as seen on this satellite picture, but it sure is doing much better than the wannabe Subtropical Storm in the Gulf of Mexico slated to be named Jerry. IVO has a small window of opportunity to strengthen its force to more hostile conditions before clearing […]
While Hurricane Henriette is roaring toward farming states in mainland Mexico on Wednesday, threatening heavy rain and winds for large corn and tomato crops, the clean-up at the Pacific beach resort of Los Cabos and at the Baja Sur capital La Paz is in progress. La Paz was not hit very hard and compared to […]
The eye came through somewhat east of La Paz about 21:00. It was pretty noisy most of the night and since then not a whole lot of rain. Still lots of clouds cruising eastwards, but we're down to minor winds and sprinkles at this point. Power and phone is up in my part of […]
..a Freudian slip kinda. Spass is the german word fun or joke. So that it is a Grand Baja joke?? Well, if I look at the prices I think so. The official information states:
The impressive building (!!! -> see pics below) that was once the Gran Baja Hotel is currently being transformed into the […]
In addition to our August 14th post about the closing and tear-down of the Hacienda del Cortez hotel we did a quick trip to the "crime scene" for some pictures. We hadn't been out there for a few months and - oooops, seems that a wannabe sky scraper has grown right next to it. Wow, […]
I just need to announce that I did take a number and stand in the virtual waiting line to be paid by Mas por Uno Just in case there is anybody else out there in La Paz that has money owed from those people: stay in line buddy - right behind me if you like […]
During our daily stroll in La Paz today we walked around the marina area. Starting at the Vista Coral building down the road to the Marina de La Paz. We got to know the operational manager from Marina de La Paz, Malcolm "Daniel" Schoen. Nice friendly guy so pretty sure the customers at that place […]
