Heading in to Mexico (La Fonda) to do a little shopping/surfing.
I hope the recent Border killings have not tainted the waters down there. We were thinking of going south of Ensenada, but staying closer to the boarder seems prudent.

1. Say hello to Demetrius
(If he's still the owner of La Fonda)

2. I had heard that he sold it..
I haven't been there in over 15 years, and heard that La Fonda has changed ownership. Going to camp there and possibly surf if it's not to big (My GF and I are beginners).

3. I'd also heard that, but I think I remember seeing him there -
in what capacity I don't know - when I was there a couple years ago. The reason I say "I think I remember..." is that I was feeling mighty ill with a hangover from my nephew's wedding the previous day (at Calafia). I hadn't been to La Fonda in many years, and something seemed very strange. Things were almost the same, but there were subtle differences - like a parallel-universe-Twilight-Zone kind of thing. Then we learned the reason: the old La Fonda had burned down and been rebuilt, in a very similar manner, just slightly north of the old location. (Or something like that).

Anyway...have a great time.
