TODOS SANTOS - Cabo Day Trip - Art Colony, Hotel California - A Must-See!

Todos Santos -  Visit the Illusionary Hotel California in this Baja artists (pun intended) and musicians colony two beers north of Cabo 

 

The Hotel California made famous by the Eagles song.  

Tourists done with the Cabo San Lucas scene of catching a big fish, golf or getting drunk and hanging upside down by their ankles on a fish scale in a bar are happy to discover the sleepy ‘Artists Colony’ of Todos Santos just one hour north of Cabo San Lucas. What was once Santa Fe, New Mexico in the 1920´s, later Carmel and Laguna Beach in the 50´s & 60´s, is now becoming Todos Santos. Whatever that is … or whatever you want it to be.

To get there, rent a car, take the two-lane highway out of Cabo San Lucas, and get prepared to enjoy one of the most spectacular scenic drives to be found anywhere. You will cross over grand arroyos, look down on Pacific coast beaches, off which you may see migrating whales spouting or manta rays the size of baby grand pianos belly flopping. The road meanders up and down hills and across coastal plains covered with thorn tropical vegetation.

Going to the dentist can cause extreme anxiety for some - especially when you mix drugs, alcohol and laughing  gas.

Charlie Sheen, One of Hollywood’s bad  boys makes Justin Bieber look like a Boy Scout. He  has  a history of putting himself and Cabo San Lucas in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Anger Management star's Cabo episodes include parading around town with porn stars and getting violent while being tattooed to calling his guests at his Los Cabos bar opening  “...faggot assholes.”  Here is a recap of  Sheen going batshit in a dentist's office (in  the  US not Cabo).  In April 2016 he recently disclosed he has HIV... and his gf is suing him. There but for the grace of God go I..

Here's the story  - (Justin Bieber take note)

By Gabrielle Olya -for PEOPLE

10/03/2014  

Charlie Sheen has stepped into a legal mess after a visit to the dentist reportedly turned violent.

According to a lawsuit filed by Margarita Palestino, a dental technician based in Los Angeles, the actor, 49, committed assault, battery, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress on Sept. 25, when he sought treatment at his dentist's office for an abscess.

 In her complaint, filed Friday in the Superior Court of the State of California, Palestino states that she was assisting Drs. George Bogen and Jaime Azdair in an examination room when Sheen ripped off the nitrous oxide mask she had placed on him upon Bogen's orders, and then shouted, "I'm going to f–––ing kill you!" to those present in the room.

HERE'S AN EYEFULL - Dr. Antonio Serrano, Top Los Cabos Eye Doctor for Lazik,Surgeries, Checkups, Lenses and more!

                                           


Review from Discover Los Cabos newspaper and testimonials for Doctor Antonio Serrano – San Jose Del Cabo eye doctor - opthamalogist, optometrist, Lazik and cataract eye surgeon, dispensing optician.

Dr. Antonio Serrano is an excellent eye doctor. He’s the one you want to see in Los Cabos for any kind of eye related illness or injury. He also dispenses glasses and performs Lazik surgeries. 

He practices his Lazik surgeries and other procedures in Tijuana which is especially convenient for those from Southern California who wish to drive across the border. David Mandich - Cabo writer.

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL:

Dear Dr. Serrano. 

I will always credit you with saving my left eye. I am very grateful.

After your email, I decided to get another opinion as my eye did not feel right. On April  9th. I saw another retina specialist. There was a tear which was no longer small sort of regular size. And my eye had tried to heal itself, there was a rolled up edge of scar tissue on one side. It was high up around 11:45.  Just like you said.

I am so upset that the doctor I saw 2 days after I saw you the second time did not find the tear so I was at risk for another 10 days. But if you had not emailed me I think it eventually would have detached, thank you for taking the time and concern to email me. I am very thankful for you.

Dr. Antonio Serrano, Los Cabos, Cabo San Lucas Baja Mexico Expert Eye Doctor, Opthamologist - 

 "Normal" sight for this 50-something year-old young man had become over the years - sight polluted by tiny black spots, amoeba-like ‘floaters,' and strange flashes of lightning. I hadn't had an eye exam in 10 years. Not willing to trust blind luck (no pun intended), I asked around for the name of the best eye physician in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, and was immediately referred to Dr. Antonio Serrano located in nearby San Jose del Cabo. 

The doctor speaking perfect English, welcomed me to his clinic for an exam and treatment. Being un-informed about eye care, I queried him about his medical specialty and what kind of eye problems he encountered here in Mexico. 

Dr. Serrano spent 6 years obtaining his M.D. at the University of Guadalajara graduating in 1985, another year interning in a hospital, another year doing his Mexican government required social service in a clinic, then another 3 years at the Institute of Ophthalmology in Mexico City to be an eye surgeon. That's 11 years if I counted right. He's been practicing in San Jose del Cabo for over 15 years.

LOS CABOS, CABO CREDIT CARD SCAM by Resorts, Dental Clinics, Restaurants

"This type of credit card  fraud is not only in Los Cabos but almost everywhere cardholders go abroad." - Visa Security

By Miguel Cervantes

Sources: Visa Security, Visa User Blog, Mexico Diario, The News

If you use a credit card to pay for restaurant and/or hotel charges protect yourself and be sure and if your charges are being submitted to Visa/MC in pesos (which they should be) or in US currency.

During a visit to Cabo in mid-June 2014, I noticed that several restaurant and hotel receipts showed the total price in pesos and dollars. How nice - I thought the dollar conversion was a courtesy. Not true. Some, if not all hotels and larger restaurants are submitting their receipts to Visa in dollars using their chosen exchange rate instead of the daily official rate of exchange.

Wal-Mart Corruption destroys the environment, culture and communities

Even the ferocious Aztec were awed by their first glimpse of Teotihuacan. By the 13th century when the Aztec swept into central Mexico, the once teeming city—which reached its zenith around a.d. 400—had been long since abandoned by its mysterious builders. Its grand ceremonial center, where tens of thousands of people had gathered amid sacred monuments of stone, lay under thick green overgrowth.

The Aztec gave the site its name and identified its most imposing features according to their own beliefs—the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. Assuming that some of the buildings were tombs, they called the main thoroughfare Street of the Dead.  - National Geographic

CABO ODILE DENTAL TOURISTS AIDED BY BOARD CERTIFIED MEXICO DENTIST ASSN

Press Release:  

Odile Cabo Dental Tourists Aided by Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association

Date: Sept. 26, 2014                                                                                                                                                              Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Mexico                                                                                          

Contact: Marc Tejada                                                                                                                      email: certifiedmexdentist@gmail.con

The Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association has dentist members in Mexico’s major cities and resort towns including Cabo San Lucas which was recently devastated by hurricane Odile.   

Upon seeing the disaster unfold, Association staff was able to contact local Cabo dentist members and get an assessment as to the extent of the damages.  “Our patients who have dental appointments with Cabo dentists for October and November need to know the estimated time for repairs,” said one staffer.

One clinic was unscathed and another suffered minor damage and would be ready for patients in a matter of days according to reports. However, as of the 25^th of September, only 50% of power has been restored to the community and there is much destruction to local resorts that may take another 2 to 3 months to repair.

CABO SAN LUCAS - ONE WEEK LATER

Cabo is digging out but it's not easy. Looters took all the shovels from Costco and Walmart.


Sept. 23, Cabo – One Week After Odile

The Cabo cleanup is under full swing but handicapped by a lack of power because as of this date CFE the federal electric commission is overwhelmed to say the least with having to rebuild the power grid. Virtually every power pole in Los Cabos was blown down. Over 3,000 in the state was the last figure reported. 90% of power in La Paz has been restored and only 19% in Cabo.



The new Hyatt

Another big problem is the lack of building materials. Millions of square feet of resort, commercial, residential and even auto glass was blown out.  I suspect there isn’t that much glass on-hand in the state of Baja Sur or maybe even all of Mexico at the moment to fill the need.  It will take weeks to get the materials needed from cement to plasterboard, paint, lighting fixtures, furniture and more for Cabo to be ready for visitors again.

The material will need to be ferried over on the daily ferrys from La Paz or Topolobampo that are currently being used to bring emergency food and other supplies. The alternative is to bring it down from Tijuana approximately 900 miles north by truck – a 17 hour journey when the 2-lane highway is fully functioning.  Are you getting my drift?
