    City Water

    We are at Bella Sirena and they have a filtration system, plus we have an RO system as well so not only cook with it but drink it. Knock on wood, no problems. We drink the water at the restaurants as well - unless it looks like a place where you wouldn't want to - but then I probably wouldn't...

    Puerto Penasco 1942, when the train passed thru old port

    Your are correct. I know that at least Ladyjeeper and I spent a bit of time and a few peso there after having danced all night. There was an official closing time for the bars in those days (can't remember the exact hour) but I know Hector, of Hector's Cantina fame at the old Playa Hermosa...

    CS & Apple Pies, and more

    Yes, I believe so - or at least at times. When we were there yesterday shipments were due in today so low or out of a few things. It is almost like a treasure hunt, opening up all the freezers.

    CS & Apple Pies, and more

    They really are - always make us feel so welcome. Once we ran into Luca there and it was Karina's birthday so DH started singing Happy Birthday, with everyone joining in (except me as I have the worst singing voice in the world) for Luca to take home to Karina. Never know what is going to...

    Tessoro at Las Conchas (COMPLAINTS FYI)

    Don't forget to check out Bella Sirena if you enjoy a quieter but really beautiful place. Very family oriented.

    CS & Apple Pies, and more

    Just visited CS this morning (going south on Benito Juarez take a left one block south of Rosie & the Tequila Factory - blue building - it is on the side street across from Numero next to the Video store. We picked up the last frozen cherry pie - apple pies still left, although Michelle said...

    Interesting Report on meeting with Mayor 1/25/13

    Rosie, I'm with you :) Over the decades (lots of decades) that I've been coming to Penasco I've seen how creative the people are when they have had little to work with. I've seen them tackle problems and find answers while the tourist sits there bemoaning the fact that there isn't a nearby...

    Weddings at Bella Sirena

    If you are getting married - or know any one that is planning a wedding - Bella Sirena is a beautiful place to hold a wedding. The lush green grass overlooking the beach and the Sea of Cortez makes a fantastic background. Just get in touch (or have your wedding coordinator) with...

    Whales off Sandy Beach

    I'm always missing the dolphins and now the whales! Even when everyone else is telling me where to look, although over two years ago I did get to see some dolphins playing with some jet skiers off Sandy Beach - even I could find them then. Our sea is so fantastic.

    Interesting Report on meeting with Mayor 1/25/13

    They've needed to do something about the border entry for sometime. And most of the bottleneck seems to be on the USA side, coming and going. I know on a cruise you can basically get checked in before ever getting to the ship - maybe they can do something like that for the cruise buses coming...

    Interesting Report on meeting with Mayor 1/25/13

    DH was there as well and agrees that it is a good write up of what occurred. Somewhere I think they mentioned working on the Lukeville/Sonoyta border entry before the completion of the port. With that many people arriving for cruises they would have to make the border entry more user friendly...

    Glad you know what they are for - and that it involves the port!

    Boomerfest Question

    A friend said he saw two of them in Choya Bay a year ago. He said he couldn't tell what they were netting.

    Best Rocky Point Tacos?

    Do you remember going to the train station in the middle of the night when the train came in in order to get tacos? Only place that was available in those days. The vendors would have everything set up as the train came in - people would lean out of the windows with their pesos. Once they had...

    Bone Fishing

    Has anyone had any success with Bone Fishing here? Have a couple of kids who dream about catching a bone fish, especially since their brother caught one in Roatan a few years ago.

    Best Rocky Point Tacos?

    Following were from our January newsletter. I've had tacos at La Cita and they were the best I've had her. Haven't tried Oaxaqueña !but I love Mole - problem is they are only open for dinner according to the last Todd mentioned. I think the worst tacos I've had were at lunch at El Capitan -...
