According to Mexican law, all foreigners driving in Mexico are required to have Mexican liability coverage. If the police choose to, they can detain you.

Next time you renew, we'll add your daughters if you want. The difference in cost is well worth it for the liability coverage. There's an important detail here regarding your friend's daughter on the jet skis. The DL policies (or any liability coverage) covers damage, injury or loss to a third...

It gets nipped in the bud and then gets revived as everyone relaxes their stance on the matter. Keep in mind that it isn't always the cop who asks for the money. Quite often it's the tourist who says, "Aw c'mon, how about we settle it here?" Both are wrong, but the only way to stop it is for...

According to US law only an American company can sell US insurance to American-registered vehicles. Likewise, Mexican law requires that liability be provided to foreign vehicles by a Mexican company. When someone buys their Mx insurance in the States, it is actually underwritten by a Mexican...

You rang?? I'm trying to figure out whether you're referring to Mexico or US insurance on a private road. I just called one of our adjusters and he said insurance is valid on any road, private or public, in Mexico.

I wouldn't recommend them. We've been getting lots of complaints at our office about their service (actually lack thereof). When Patty was working I would send clients, but not anymore. The guy running it now is Patty's granddaughter's husband. My take on him was: rude, unprofessional and...

Hey Russ...Congratulations, that was really good! I hope the OCV continues to use you as their spokesman for stuff like this. Big difference/improvement over the way they've traditionally sold the destination.

Here's another version: From Caborca (per the radio interview with Mayor Jimenez the following day): Fans and media prepared early and came in buses. According to standard practice, a percentage of tickets are supposed to be set aside for the visiting fans. Caborca shows up and they were told...

Estella, I didn't say so at the time because I wasn't sure. I mentally bookmarked your comment, though, as something to check on. Well there most certainly ARE mountain lions and gila monsters in the Pinacate reserve. In fact, there's at least one guy who has a real good story to tell about his...

Mine are crowns. A whole mouthful of them cost just over $2k

Dr. Lizarraga is my favorite, too. I'm one of those skittish, nervous types when it comes to sitting still in the dental chair. All my life it's been a problem for me. Dr Lizarraga is wonderful. I don't know whether he's more expensive than others...I've been to both Dr Angela and Dr Grijalva...

The CANACO (Chamber of Commerce) building is right behind the Shrimp Park in the center of town. They've got a reclycling program that will benefit the city by providing more trash receptacles. You can drop recyclables there during business hours.

The city is dry when there are elections. This year is a non-election year for Sonora, so it's a non-issue.

At the office we're always online and the Vonage is constantly in use. In the last 2 weeks we've had tons of celular calls dropped and the Vonage line seems to blank out. I suspect sunspots or some such mysterious thing. What I do know is that you aren't alone.

His name is Henry Altman. Google him to find that he's a real estate developer and internet radio expat "Retire Abroad"-type salesman. Nothing to indicate he's ever done a concert previously. I've said from the beginning, this simply isn't going to happen. I feel bad for those who are out money...

I didn't write the magazine, nor am I selling it. I just happen to have a few extras to give away.

Of course! If you get there before I do, just tell Paty you're taking a magazine. They're right on the coffee table.

Anyone who didn't see or get a copy of this magazine (no link available online, but it's beautiful) let me know and I'll save you a copy. I have a couple of boxes.

DIF is the organization for Integral Family Development. Not so much child welfare, but they oversee a bunch of projects that cover all aspects of needs and protection of vulnerable people (disabled, children, elderly). They train, counsel, provide for, and sometimes house people in need, but...

That's something I hear frequently. Here are my thoughts on donations: 1. If you give through an organization like DIF (as opposed to just driving around giving to "poor people", there's really no accountability. There are people who appear needier than they are. There are those who turn around...
