Community Note

Reading the road. On a late run to La Paz or Cabo, an oncoming trucker flicking their hazards isn’t saying hello. It’s the local signal that something’s ahead, often a cow on the dark road, so ease off the gas, pass the warning back with your own hazards, and don’t assume your lane is clear.

Let’s make some music in the garden.

free  •  Every Friday  •  1:30 pm

There is nothing quite like an afternoon spent trading songs in the sun. The garden at Tecolote Bookstore has become a fantastic hub for community music, and they are hosting two open jam sessions every weekend, all year round.

Fridays at 1:30 PM: The Guitar Jam Group. Bring your guitar, grab a cool drink, and add your sound to the mix alongside @daturamagik, @lorenamadrigal947, @jenjaywong, and @jenelleaubade.

Saturdays at 2:00 PM: The Ukulele Club takes over the courtyard.

Both gatherings are completely free, fun, and open to all ages and playing levels. Whether you are working on your first few chords or want to lead the group in a folk-rock classic, there is a seat open for you. Grab your instrument and meet them under the mural on Militar, just across and up from the TS Surf Shop.
