I remember the first time I went down there in the mid 60s. I was 15. Crossing the border and bribing the gentleman carrying a gun. $10 buck ." I didn't have a note stating, I had permission from my parents to accompany my friends family." Seemed a little scary at the time. But, we had a wonderful time sleeping on the dunes on Sandy Beach. Racing dune buggies and enjoying our teenage years. I continued to enjoy PP in my early 20's staying in the beach home near the second estuary. Fishing from shore ,pulling in sacks of sea bass & having wonderful fish fries. Running rails in town and having a beer in one of the local brothels/cantina's. < Only way we knew that, was the local ladies kept throwing orange rinds at us girls. Ha! Fast forward to around 1999. Started going down again and haven't stopped. Try to get down at least 5 times a year. Have a trailer now at Playa Bonita. The people are so warm and inviting. Have also met a great group from the states as well. Hope to retire and be down there at least 6 months a year..:)

I doubt there was a bribe involved, but my Dad had his Luger with him and it was used on more than a few Sharks that were so prevalent in those days and in close!

A Sailfish statue, a bear or other animals mounted on someone's wall is to remind us of what was once plentiful until mankind got involved,
That unfortunately and sadly is called progress.

It's like a cemetary monument to me. Celebrates death and destruction. Makes me sad to look at it. A beautiful species decimated by man for fun.

The dog remembers when the boats would come into the harbor flying flags representing what type's of billfish and how many that had been caught, but most of todays sport fisherman will argue that it was the commercial, (long liners) fishing that's decimated all billfish species. It's been a combination of both.

Well Calle 13 seems to be connected to Benito Juarez again by the new 'Monument'. Another interesting intersection for Penasco. If you are going toward the Malecon on Benito Juarez you can make a right hand turn onto Calle 13 at the fish. If you are going the opposite direction on BJ, you cannot turn left, across traffic onto Calle 13. There is a sign in the middle of BJ and the traffic light shows a continuous red arrow. Options are limited for alternative ways to get onto Calle 13 westbound when northbound on BJ. Make a right hand turn at the intersection then a U turn back across BJ? U turn back to Calle 12 at the Circle K? Drive down BJ northbound a bit, U turn, then right onto Call13??
