Rosarito Beach, Baja California,
Mexico 28 - 30 August 2010 |
|
An emergency trip to the dentist on Saturday to see what's going
on. A major ache in the lower left back molar, migrating to the upper
molars,
the whole jaw and ultimately a splitting headache in my temples and back of
the head feeling like a vice.
I'm thinking root canal and an infection?!?! |

Driving down Highway 18 off the mountain from above the storm clouds. WOW! |

Check out these views from 6,150 feet a few days later. | Right on both counts: root canal and an infection! But I had to wait until Monday 5pm for the procedure, although two days of antibiotics was suggested to minimize pain and inflammation during the work. WOW! He's good. I never felt pain. Not even the next day. Mostly just a dull ache and by Tuesday all was better. |

See some friends. A job "interview" with the Rosarito Beach Hotel timeshare sales group on Monday morning. This is Splash Restaurant & Bar with its very own "blow hole." | ![]() ![]() ![]() |

And its very own crew (another set of "blow holes"), many from Bahia Cantiles Restaurant & Bar. But they're a great set of people. See "red book" journal for names & details. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I love my dentist! And his staff. And the private waiting area. Dr. Oscar Avila. | ![]() ![]() |
