    Dec 23 4.7 Earthquake

    Just read where we had a 4.7 earthquake this morning at about 5:30am. El Gato started in about 3:30am - determined to get us up. I finally gave in and went out to the couch about 5am at which point I figured he would settle down like he always does. Not this time, he just kept at it. By 5:30am...

    Convention Center

    Today we've been watching trucks full of dirt coming from Choya Bay direction heading towards where the Convention Center is suppose to be. Then doing a turn around for another load of dirt. Maybe they are killing two birds with one stone - dredging a marina/port area and providing fill for the...

    Ley Express

    I have noticed that produce and meat is much better at Super Ley then the Bodega. And I can find things I'm looking for easier at Super Ley. Prices, at least on somethings, like cat food, are cheaper at the Bodega, plus they usually have litter. So we tend to hit all of them - we spread our...

    Convention Center

    Decades ago I used to take the train back and forth from Mexicalli - and we used to go to the depot at midnight to buy tacos (only place serving food at that time of night). Also caught the train in Penasco to head to Mexico City - and Louisa & family used to take it back and forth to Caborca...

    Esmeralda Construction

    Heard that the Federal Gov. had taken it over and were actually going to fund the construction in order to finish it up. again, just rumor. But if the cruise port rumor is correct then it makes sense they are 'correcting' some of the problems that would be major negatives to Penasco being a home...

    Esmeralda Construction

    Heard where construction is suppose to start up again on Esmeralda on Sandy Beach. We've looked at rusty cranes forever. However, the last trip down the beach past Esmeralda we noticed that on the east side of the building complex the old rusty crane(s) were gone and a new crane appeared to be...

    Convention Center

    Heard recently that the convention center's location has been moved from the old air port area on the main highway to the area near the Arches in Sandy Beach and is suppose to be breaking ground this week. DH and I took a drive this morning and there were a couple of guys with surveying...

    Another Reason That I Live Here

    A policeman showed up on our doorstep one evening (a ton of years ago) and asked for our youngest son as he had been reported as tossing rocks into a neighbors yard (one who always yelled at them for playing too loud, etc.). Our son's name was the only one that the neighbor had heard. So I...

    Car won't start - Battery problem maybe

    Our car wouldn't start this morning (first time we've ever had problems) - I'm guessing battery has expended it's life time use. Anyone have suggestions on where we can get a battery? Or are we better off having a friend bring one down next week? Any suggestions welcomed. tks.

    Cruise Ship Home Port Project

    Joinus just had an article about a presentation in Mexico City about the cruise ship Home Port project. The article mentioned that at least 4 ship companies have shown an interest. After the past year when ships were pulling out of ports this could be very good for Mexico. I wonder if this has...

    Activities or things to do/see....

    You can also rent ATV's and dune buggies - they are a lot of fun but drive safely. We, from kids on up, always love the tide pools. You can also go to El Pinacate - weather is good for it at this time of year. It is about half way between the Border and Penasco on the west side of the highway...

    Black Dog slots

    If one plays the slots at the Black Dog do you get paid in money or prizes? I've read where casinos are illegal in Mexico and read that Black Dog was shut down for a time because of this - but has recently reopened. Does anyone know what the status of casino gambling is in the free port zone? In...
