    Pet papers and passport

    When we came through last Sept with our car loaded to the gills and our cat in his case between us we got the green light - only they took one look at our car and motioned us over to be checked. They glanced in the car briefly - had DH open the truck - which I had used as a suitcase - said...

    lol Perils of Rocky Point

    Because DH likes some things we can't get here - most of the time we do all our shopping here - about every 3 months we go up and stock up on some frozen dinners for when I'm really lazy - odds and ends I've never found here - Pillsbury grand bisquits, carrot cake,etc. I've now found a great...

    lol Perils of Rocky Point

    We have the RP "itis" so badly that we don't even want to make groc runs to Ajo - not to mention staying away from Metro Phoenix - too many bad things happen there :)

    Cancer Treatment Facility in Penasco

    Dr. Gonzalez (Urgent Care on Sandy Beach) is involved with cancer research - had a tour of his facility and it is very clean and modern. I did meet someone who is having treatments there and she indicted they were helping. As with anything like that you have to be very careful - there are a lot...

    lol Perils of Rocky Point

    Our daughter, son-in-law and grandson (age 13) came down for the first time ever. They were warned repeatedly about the dangers of going to Pensco - although no one who issued the warnings had ever been here. They ignored the warnings - then found out which "dangers" they should have been...

    Man Die's Clam Diving

    Just read today's (Aug 7th) Numero Uno and they were reporting a 24 year old man who died while diving - is this a new death or are they reporting on the previous one? Seemed like they were reporting another death.

    Gila Bend and Ajo have speed traps too :) - Ajo's tend to extend out from both sides of town.

    Driving from Vegas to Penasco

    Thanks - that is sort of my feeling, plus they can stay in Ajo or Gila Bend and not have as much driving time in the morning - wasting a lot of beautiful beach time.

    Driving from Vegas to Penasco

    Has anyone driven from Vegas to Penasco since the Coastal Highway opened up? Kids are coming down next Sunday and map quest sent them from Vegas to San Luis and then on Highway 2 to Penasco (didn't show Coastal Highway). Not sure if this is faster/easier then going through Gila Bend from Vegas...

    Parmesan and/or Chddar cheese

    We found it without a problem - although further down then a mile. Met Michelle and Carlos and they were very helpful. Great place to find cheese - although in large amounts - I now have enough fresh Parmesan for the rest of my life :) - managed to pick up a few more things like bagels, mega...

    Parmesan and/or Chddar cheese

    I'm sorry to be such a pest but I couldn't find Josepha Dominguez on the map - where is it in relation to Benito Juarez and Fremont? Or coming from Sandy Beach? Thank you.

    Never driven to Mexico...

    We have a Lincoln Town Car - it has become a "Penasco" car - loves the dirt roads. Of course, at times when we leave it to go into a store we come out to find someone washing it (not just the windshield!) - and, of course, it needed it. See new cars, trucks, SUV's, etc., all the time.

    Just wondering

    Their bakery has a great chocolate loaf cake! I like it better then US. One difference in taste is that a lot, if not most, Mexican products are made with real sugar - and in the Us we've almost forgotten what that tastes like.

    Pitahaya restaurant

    One night years ago - Spring break time - a collage guy decided to do a strip act on top of one of the tables - Louisa went after him with a broom! And she wasn't holding on to the handle :) - He quickly decided to put his clothes back on. Music used to be soooo loud there.

    New Italian Restaurant Open

    Roberto - Did they have Alfredo on the menu? (DH's favorite). What were the prices like. Thank you for the great directions - we drove by the other day and didn't spot it. Are they open for lunch? Thanks for your review.
