Listen in as we chat with residents of the San Felipe, Baja, Mexico area about why they came here, why they stay (or, return as snowbirds), and things which they feel should be better known about our area. Their recommendations range from interesting places, people, or objects to stories, experiences, or ideas. In the process, we also get to know a little bit more about local businesses, organizations, noteworthy events, and some useful and useless information. Please subscribe and follow us on Face Book.

ABOUT

Turn Left at the Cactus is a locally operated podcast in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico. The hosts are Cal Whedbee and Tricia Sikes. This podcast has a primary focus of discoveringwhat foreign and Mexican nationals who live and work here--full or part time--find so attractive about the area, why they moved here, and what they think is deserving of more attention. However, we don't always stick to the script, so anything is possible.

We drop episodes as often as we can arrange to platform people. Sometimes the oddly hectic life of San Felipe gets in the way. But, we try hard to keep to some semblance of a schedule....retiree/Mexican style. If you have a suggestion of someone you think should be interviewed or an event thatneeds a push, please email us at: cactusleft@gmail.com. Put Suggested Guest/Event in the Subject Line.

**The views expressed by our guests may not always be those of the hosts. All view points are important. Especially as it has to do with San Felipe and Baja.
