Tabachin B&B is an incredible place to stay in Puerto.

(07/05/12) Behind the Hotel Sante Fe is the Tabachin Bed & Breakfast ran by Paul Cleaver (who also help build the Sante Fe). After searching the net and talking to many others who have spent months if not years in Puerto. I found this little slice of heaven. With beautifully decorated studios (with fridge & kitchenette) that comes with your choice of 13 organic breakfasts each morning, I (we....me and my other half) could'nt ask for more. I could'nt believe all that for such an affordable price.
It's low profile location keeps the foot traffic very low. That being said, you can trully relax and take in all the beauty of Puerto, especially with the giant patio on the roof top. So you and a friend or better half can enjoy your vacation with out all the tourist and expat antics.
Check the Tabachin out via Trip Advisor. Paul is a great person with decades of Mexico history under his belt. So you will stay and leave with peace of mind, and knowledge of the area that many locals do not know... So make your reservations now!

Glove-Controlled Electric Mountainboard Inventor Trying to Win Scholarship

(12/22/11) To Whom It May Concern:

I'm Andres Guzman-Ballen, a computer engineering graduate student at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and right now I am trying to win a $10,000 scholarship through a contest, which ends January 1st, 2012. I spoke to Johnny Gothard, one of Surfline's employees, over e-mail and he referred me to this page.

In my spare time as an undergrad, I had built an electric mountainboard that first worked on a PlayStation 2 controller, but is now running on a glove that I also built. It really does feel like I'm surfing on the street now! Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=686oJ7bNFIU

Is there any way I could get publicity to get enough votes to win? I need one vote per day. I know these shameless plugs are always annoying, but it's for a scholarship to pay for grad school and I could really use the money. This is the link I really need to get publicized: http://inspiringexperts.com/videogallery.php#aHiqeWe5Tzc. If you have any questions or concerns whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected]! Thank you so much for your time, I greatly appreciate it, and have a wonderful day!
