Hahaha yeah you're right, divided by 2 instead of 20!

https://rockypoint360.com/las-palomas-relaunches-phase-3-during-governors-visit/ I don't remember hearing anything about the "relaunch" back in the spring, I only found it now by googling. 1.1 billion pesos is 500 million USD; that is an absolutely gigantic investment. Would be great if legit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoy_No_Circula This link seems to have some info, it will make your head spin. Buyer beware with wikipedia info but I'm sure most of the info is fairly close to reality...

Very good info Roberto! 100% agree about the chaos that is Mexico City traffic- its not for the weak of heart... Also, I don't have exact details but on top of everything Roberto mentions, I know that the DF has additional controls regarding which cars are allowed to circulate inside the city...

Looks the the file is at this link: http://wildsonora.com/map/roadmap-sonora-mexico Looks very cool!

My wife and I have talked for years about how dangerous that intersection is, and we mentioned it again this past weekend when making the left turn back to the condos coming from the Malecon. It is essentially a blind turn, you have to pull out into oncoming traffic to see to the left. We have...

Just an interesting random note- was down at Señor Amigo on Monday for lunch and when the kids ordered lemonades the waiter told us they didn't have any straws. When my wife started to give him a furrowed brow he clarified that it was not that they had run out of straws, but rather there is a...

I'm a Holiday Inn guy too and picked the last friday in September as a reference for pricing- I've stayed at all 3 and and they are all solid. Kind of surprised that Crowne is the cheapest. Crowne has free parking and has connection to the SkyTran which makes it SUPER easy to get to your...

I was thinking the same thing. The article is somewhat vague, perhaps on purpose, but seems to indicate legalizing recreational drug use in Mexico. That wouldn't seem to have much to do with the massive exportation of drugs to the US. Definitely more information needed here...

I have DirecTV but have only used the app a couple of times. In general, most of the streaming TV or Movie services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc) will not work outside the US- when you connect to WiFi it will detect your IP address is in Mexico and it will say something like "Sorry, our service...

San Blas is a really cool place, I have driven down to Tepic, Nayarit a few times and always go to the beach. La Tovara is a really fun place to go a a canoe tour and see a beautiful lagoon and crocodiles. Also about 45 mins south of San Blas, Playa Platanitos is a fun (almost) virgin beach to...

Thanks Jerry that was interesting. There is so much shady stuff in all of Mexican politics, the PAN candidate Anaya has his family living in the US for like 3 years until the moment he declared his candidacy and then brought them back. Just Google "Ricardo Anaya atlanta"- he was paying almost...

It wasn't bad news for everyone- I had to be careful at the bar being outnumbered 100 to 1 though hahaha...

Mexican law enforcement (like many other things in Mexico) will almost always be shades of grey as opposed to black and white. I have had a gun drawn on me for "illegal parking" in a very similar incident as described by Roberto. And that guy didn't want to go to the Comandancia, he wanted cash...

Thanks guys for all the replies, the info was much appreciated!!!

We really like Kaffee Haus, and even though I had a bad feeling about wait times, we tried to go on Sunday morning around 10am. There were already 20+ people waiting outside and we were told the wait was over an hour. I think from now on, unless they expand we will only try to go on a "down day"...

Quick question for those "in the know"... We have a larger group of about 15 but just one mini-van for getting around. We want to make a couple day trips (Casa de Capitan, Malecon, etc) and I was wondering if there are any larger, van-sized taxis or shuttle services in town? We would much...

We crossed Saturday morning around 11am and also no traffic light or customs agents. Only people there were the military guys but they were just kind of standing around. We were confused but were glad to fly threw without any delays or inspections...

I'm headed down Saturday for the week and noticed the same thing- looked like a 10 degree or so cool down or so starting in a day or two... I was wondering what the ocean water is like- must not be august jacuzzi water anymore but temps have stayed so high it must still be quite nice :)

I cross into Nogales daily, and also travel all the way down to Navojoa a couple times a year since my wife is from there- the last data I have for tolls is 51 pesos in Nogales (this can be avoided by going right at the fork when crossing the Mariposa border and driving all the way through the...
