Great time to visit San Felipe

I am always asked when is the best time to visit San Felipe. I enjoy myself any time I visit but the next few weeks bring all kinds of activities and events.
Coming up on March 5th and 6th is our Tequila Festival, a great time to meet many of the local residents in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.  Most of the premier tequila makers set up booths and for just a few dollars you can sample some of the best tequila Mexico has to offer.
March 11th through the 13th the Score Baja 250 comes to town. This will give you the chance to see some of the best desert racers and their machines up close.
Downtown San Felipe becomes full of the racers, crews, family members and vendors selling everything from race related item to delicious street tacos.
March 26 brings in the Blues and Arts festival, come down, listen to some creative musicians and view the works of local artists.
March also has some of the regions nicest weather with cool night and 80 degree days.
Let me know if you would like to visit and I will take care of all the travel details and accommodations.
There are some dinner seminars coming up in Northern California this month, please look to the schedule on the left of the screen.
Can't make it to a dinner?  Then listen in on our web-meeting every Tuesday at 7:30pm, details to the right.

Crime in Mexico and San Felipe

It seems like every day I read a new report about crime in Mexico or I get a call from someone asking if it is safe to travel to San Felipe.
The answer is yes, it is very safe.
I know many people who regularly make the trip from California to San Felipe and have never had an incident.
Just as in the United States common sense precautions should always rule the day. When the State Department issued warnings about travel to Mexico they stated that it is safe as long as people stayed away from areas of known criminal activity.
I believe most places in California are generally safe if you stay away from areas of drug use and prostitution! The State Department warning made me wonder why such a warning isn't issued for certain areas around Los Angeles, Detroit, New Orleans or many other spots in the US.
In 2009 according to the latest FBI statistics there were 1,329 murders in Texas and almost 2000 in California.
I will still take my grandson to Disneyland in spite of the statistics.
I encourage you to take a trip with us to El Dorado Ranch. We do the driving and I guarantee at the end of the trip you will see not only how safe the drive is but you will also be guided during the trip by people that actually own property at El Dorado Ranch.

Remember we travel to the Ranch every weekend until the end of the year, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Shrimp and Golf in San Felipe

The fall in San Felipe is marked by festivals, food and golf.
The biggest festival coming in November is the San Felipe Shrimp Festival. San Felipe is known as the Shrimp Capitol of Baja, the region is famous for the giant, naturally grown Blue Shrimp. The festival is over the weekend of November 5-7.
You can read more about it here http://sanfelipeshrimpfestival.com/.

I can help you with a free trip to San Felipe for that weekend, just send an e-mail or give me a call.

Another big event is the El Dorado Ranch charity golf tournament, this annual event on our 18 hole championship golf course raises money for the city of San Felipe's schools and charities. I would enjoy having anyone come down stay, as our guest, and join us for this event. The golf tournament is over the weekend of October 22nd.

Building My Home At El Dorado Ranch

Many people have called or e-mailed me asking about building my house in San Felipe.

Building in San Felipe was not as difficult as I anticipated, things went smoothly and changes I wanted to make during construction were never a problem.

Overall the experience was enjoyable and less frustrating then the experience of building my home in Northern California.

Anyone who wants more information regarding the process please write or give me a call and I will be happy to share my stories with you.
In the meantime I have included a link with photo's of my nearly completed house, enjoy!
