cial Holidays in Mexico. Yeah, like you didn’t know that. But, do you know that if you require your employ- ees to work on these days, you must pay them triple time for the day? No you didn’t. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you.

Fourlane update. The widening of the twolane to a fourlane to Todos Santos will be finished in February, swears up and down Carlos Lascurain, the local rep of the ministry of communica- tions and transport. With a straight face, he says this. “We have run into small setbacks,” said Lascurain, who explained there are five different construc- tion com- panies at work, with a fi-
Governor urged to open street. Residents of the Cangrejos neighborhood on the road to Todos Santos, which was originally started by squatters, are urg- ing Governor Marcos Covarrubias to show up and officially inaugurate their newly paved street, or they refuse to use it, they say. This is the neighborhood that boasts the largest and slickest soccer stadium and running track in the entire Los Cabos area, but lives with no sewage system. Sigh. Go and use the damn street, people, do you think anybody cares about you? The fancy stadium was funded by developer Don Koll, as his developer fees for the Hacienda residences. Koll is a sharp, responsible developer who was not given a choice in projects, or no doubt he would have chosen to have his name en- graved on sewer pipes that bring health to a neighbor- hood instead of that Taj Majal of a sports field, but he was not given that choice, it was made by city officials.
Southwest does Cabo! Following our report on new flights to Cabo a few issues ago, we have just been in- formed that AirTran Airways, a division of Southwest Air- lines, has received U.S. ap- proval to operate new flights to Mexico beginning in May and June. AirTran plans to operate one daily round trip between Orange County, California and Cabo San Lucas, continuing on to Mexico City. AirTran doesn’t currently operate at Orange County’s John Wayne International Airport, so it will add service from there to San Francisco and Las Vegas in June to beef up the market along with the Mexico flights.
Iron Man does Cabo. The sport, not the dude.
Bummer. David Alvarez, coordinator of the Iron Man sports events, was in Cabo last week scouting locations for their 2013 Triathlon. David met with Mayor Tony Agundez who offered the city’s full support. Alvarez also met with the local hotel and restaurant associations. The Iron Man event is expected to bring some 1,200 athletes from around the world to swim for 2.2 miles, ride a bicycle for 105 miles and then run for almost 25 miles. I can hardly be- lieve those numbers, me who can hardly walk up three flights of stairs! Might be the cigarettes and booze, sigh. Schools prepare for emergencies.
