Highway Sign Magically Appears on the South side of Todos Santos . . .

This is not a mirage! I had to blink a few times and make sure my tired eyes weren't playing tricks in the late afternoon sun. I was on the way to the Todos Santos Inn and, before turning onto Degollado, I looked right and noticed a massive overhead highway sign on the outskirts of town. Looks like our dented, dinky welcome sign bit the dust to make room for the new highway. In case you're wondering about the Bimbo truck, it's México's version of Wonder Bread. Did you know Grupo Bimbo is one of the largest bakery companies in the U.S. and has plans to become the world's largest bread manufacturing company by 2010? : Grupo Bimbo

Pilates in Todos

To stay in shape and keep working off the calories in between meals, there are several options for residents and visitors. There's weekly morning yoga classes offered by several instructors at La A.R.C.A. There's Tai Chi, horseback riding, personal training, and there's a serious group of mountain bikers, walkers and runners in our midst. Tennis players meet regularly in Elias Calles and in Todos Santos at Flora del Mar. Within the last year an internationally certified Pilates instructor Mara Adame Fregoso of Pilates in Cabo started offering weekend classes in Todos Santos. The summer schedule is Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday's at 10 a.m. at El Hotelito. The classes currently range from 4-6 students to 10-12 students in the high season ($100 pesos per class). Mara recently returned from continuing education training and making us work the abdominals like never before. Visit her web site at Pilates in Cabo, and for El Hotelito.
