GUIDE TO THE BAJA GOOD LIFE - 3

www.bajagoodlifeclub.com | [email protected] | 1-877-luvmex1GUIDE TO DISCOUNTS & THE BAJA GOOD LIFEBAJA GOOD LIFE CLUB

AUGUST 2: Mayor Hugo Torres: A Rosarito Legendin 2007, at age 70, he made the tough decision to run for a second (non-consecutive) three-year term as mayor. He believed he could make the city he’d helped create a much better one. city residents agreed and elected him with an overwhelming 60% of the vote in a campaign in which he made police reform and increased public safety the main issues.

AUGUST 9: The New Immigration Rules: Q&ATo enter and during one stay in mexico, what does one need as far as papers? To be able to stay in mexico for longer than 180 days what do i need to do? what advan-tages do i have by getting an fm-2 vs. an fm-3? These are just a few of the question we’ll answer.

AUGUST 16: Baja to Harness the Power of Windmexico is quickly breaking ground and moving forward to join others in the pursuit of clean energy. The much anticipated aubanel wind Project is set to be constructed near la Rumorosa, which will put the wind farm just 15 miles south of the border and 60 miles east of San diego.

AUGUST 23: The White Sea Bass of Bahia San QuintinThe rich, picturesque waters of bahia San Quintin on northern baja california’s Pacific coast is a famous bay that provides many good reasons for both anglers and hunters to pay a seasonal visit to what has become a prime recreational paradise.

AUGUST 30: Baja Coyotes and What You Should Knowcoyotes are animals to be respected and admired in their natural habitat. it is also best to admire them from afar. as human sprawl continues to invade more and more remote areas of baja and central america, coyote sight-ings are, and will continue to be, more frequent.
