June 1, 2009: New Border Crossing Requirements
Passports are now required to visit Mexico. In lieu of a passport, you can purchase a passport card for
$45, so it costs less than a passport, but it doesn't apply to air travel - land and sea only.
There's more to know, especially for minors, so for more information see the Department of Homeland
Security press release here.

El Niño Year
The El Niño weather pattern comes every decade or so, and brings with it bigger waves for some areas,
warmer water in the NE Pacific, and a change in wind patterns. It can be a good thing, or not, depending on
where you surf now or where you're planning to surf. And we're in one now, the fall/winter of 2009/2010.
For Central America, the more west-facing beaches will benefit from bigger surf. The too-strong offshore
winds that plague parts of Nicaragua and NW Costa Rica will be less strong. And water generally warmer.

Rosarito Police Get FBI Training
Two tourist police agents got special training by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Agent Luís Roberto
Casas Zamora and agent Juan Antonio Meza Mendoza,
got the benefits of the International Training Program of
the FBI Academy, in Tucson Arizona.
They learned FBI arrest techniques, negotiating, vehicle
intervention, detection and identification of stolen
vehicles, as well as interception of search warrants. With
any luck they also learned who the bad guys really are,
and that hassling gringo surf travelers reduces Baja
tourism and hurts all Mexicans.
