crissXcross guide to mexico <> A Virtual Postcard Tour <>  I want to put up a primarily nostalgic look at Mexico, and these few pages are a start. http://saber.net/~swells/crissXcross/crissXcross001.htm

I've traveled with TPGtM for 25 years, and have used it as a pot holder, joint roller, hot pad, notepad, reading material, barter goods, and just plain sold my current copy to a "newbie". I ALWAYS identified with Steve, and seeing him on the beach at Tenicatita brought back a flood of past memories. I'm pleased to think that we have both enjoyed that small piece of paradise.

A Triumph for Baja Whales and Wildlife! Mexico Cancels Salt Plant!

International Marine Mammal Project

"Five years after the Grupo de los Cien [Group of 100] first denounced the plan to build the world's largest saltworks on the shores of Laguna San Ignacio, the president of Mexico has been forced to cancel the project in the face of widespread international opposition. The last pristine breeding and calving ground of the gray whale has been saved. This landmark victory over Mitsubishi and the Mexican government will influence the course of environmental protection in Mexico for years to come."
- Homero Aridjis, Grupo de los Cien

A Short, Sad History of ESSA/Mitsubishi's Guerrero Negro Salt Plant
ESSA and Mitsubishi jointly run an existing salt plant about 100 miles north of San Ignacio Lagoon. For years, rumors have come from local people that the Guerrero Negro plant was harming the gray whale lagoon of Ojo de Liebre, used to barge salt to ocean-going carriers. Thanks to a coalition of Mexican environmental groups that filed suit in early 1999, the truth is now coming out:

Hi David,

I received the floppy with your LPG page this morning. The page has
been posted informally (i.e., no public links available yet) so you can
check it over. Again the URL is

http://math.ucr.edu/ftm/bajaPages/BajaRoadPages/AutoPropane.html

Let me know of any changes or additions you'd like to see. Once it all
looks OK to you I'll put a link on the Baja Highway Page and mention the
page in What's New and on the Message Board.

The information looks like just what someone considering taking a
propane-powered vehicle to Baja would like to see. Thanks for the
contribution!

Fred

 

AD???

I have been reading your news letter and find it most interesting. I
have lived in Puerto Vallarta 11 years and want to move into a
retirement home but since there aren't any here I am developing one
myself. I am attaching a recent press release and you can log on to my
website at http://go2vallarta.com/paradise. This will be the first
project of this type in Mexico. It is a "not for profit" project as the
owners will be developing it themselves and will divide the costs among
themselves. It is a facility that is desperately needed here. Would it
be possible for you to write something about it in your newsletter. If
you need any further information on the project, please, contact me.

Thank you.

Hi, y'all.

Love your web page and books. I'm wondering if it's okay with you if I
add a link to your website from mine:

Artists of Mexico's Copper Canyon

If you'd rather I didn't add the link, email me, otherwise I'll add it.



Thanks,

I don´t know if this has already been mentioned, but I stumbled upon Proceso
magazine´s Web site, http://www.proceso.com.mx/

They have a great links page:

http://www.proceso.com.mx/sitios.html

Which got me to this nice wrap of everything Mexico:

http://www.trace-sc.com/

As well as a good directory from the U. of T.:

http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/Mexico/

Peso exchange rates can be extracted from http://www.xe.net/ucc There is
also an option to receive the daily rates by email.

note that this also links to international weather sites

http://clima.infosel.com/

I notice that their rain map doesn't show rain over us today, though the
detailed forecast in Spanish talks about rain in many areas of the
country. What I like about this site is having all of Mexico in one
place. But, need to compare actual weather with forecasts given by
various sites.

 

Dear Friends:

I would like to know if you are interesed in exchanging links with our site
http://www.bajamexico.com

Bajamexico.com has information related to your site, by the way our site has
a link to your site already at http://bajamexico.com/links.html

Nice Looking site. I didn't find the link in the Ecotravel Hosts section, but if it's like my site, it's probably in "process" and "any day now".

My link/resource page isn't up at all yet, but when I get it up, I'll like to your site & ezine. Please let us know if/when you get anything up that discusses Mexico or Central Americal and I can make a 'splash' with it.
