Caledonia Restaurant (La Cruz e Huanacaxtle):
Following the loss of their daughter Ceri in a road accident in March,
Carol and John Innes organized a Benefit to raise funds to acquire a
prosthetic limb for a young man who lost his leg in an accident.
Due to the generosity and unbelievable support from so many people,
Tavo was fitted with his new leg shortly before Christmas. They would
like to express their gratitude to everyone for making this dream come
true. It is a wonderful Christmas present and a fabulous way to begin
the New Year. It is also a fitting tribute to Ceri. Since the
accident, John & Carol closed Caledonia to focus on their Property
Management business but will shortly be opening a small restaurant
named Arriba in  the La Cruz Inn.

There is a young, white, lab type dog found at Punta del Burro. She is
remarkably gentle and well trained and wearing a red collar.  If you
have lost her please call Pablo Perez on his cell phone 322 134-6969
or e-mail pabloperez@pdbhoa.org.
