I'll repeat an earlier question of mine....if it was a kindappiing, why didn't they take his wife and kids....if that's who they were on the boat with him????? I guess we just have to wait for Rosy.....in the words of Paul Harvey...."and now, for the rest of the story"!!!! Hey...can we refer...

Wahoo...if it was a kidnapping, then that is more troubling than if it was a cartel "hit". However, I do have a question....if it was a kidnapping gone wrong, why didn't they take the wife/child after they gunned him down? They would still have someone to collect a ransom for?????

Stuart...I had the same questions when I read the report...I've launched my jetskis there many times. There is one way in and one way out......and there was no police or Navy activity????? I've been on the Mirador when it used to be busy on weekends at night...and there was some...

Same here Stuart....never much of a fan before.....I guess they weren't pulling in enough from the "old fart" retirees during happy hour....:stir:

Saw this in RPNO.... http://www.rockypointnewsonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=298:black-dog-latest-rp-casino-shut-down-by-feds&catid=34:headline-news Did someone neglect to grease someone's palms?????:stir::rofl:

Not poo-pooing the violence....but the AZRepublic ran 3 separate stories this morning on violence/killings in Mexico.....and it's the week before Labor Day weekend.....although they didn't have this one....YET!!!

Tom....the weather should be great for tent camping by Oct.....and there are a couple of rv parks on one side of town (where ladyjeeper mentioned) , as well as Playa Bonita on the other side of the harbor on Sandy Beach. The rv parks should run you around $20-25 per night. There are 2-3 hotels...

Back in the mid 90's there was something that killed off a lot of pelicans.....all along sandy beach....it was sad to see the birds just sitting there waiting to die....in the summer sun....we even tried to give them some water...but no go....

Over the 4th of July weekend, when I used my CU card there, it cost me somewhere around $4.30 for a withdrawal of 1100 pesos, or about 4.6%. This was all the fees, including the Mexican BANK ATM fee (I think it's 7 pesos??). I believe they were giving 12.15 pesos to the dollar. I was trying...

Didn't go there this past visit, but over the 4th of July weekend, they were.

Jerry with his continual taking of a thread off topic.....:jerry::hairout: ....but actually Chari, I'm in a decent mood.....finally home from work...decided to cut the back yard grass tomorrow.....getting read to barbecue a nice steak.....we're still waiting for your tales from CO and some...

Jerry...I think I accomplished that already...just by starting this particular thread....made visitors aware that they couldn't use USD at the Penasco Ace Hardware.....I'm sure that was considerably more than some people have done on here....:stir: Oh...oh...oh...I have another one......Never...

Jerry...didn't you just recently report the robbery of your friend in Caborca at gunpoint???? Granted, I would expect much less in terms of break-ins in your gated community....it is far enough from the types of individuals I would expect that from, and with limited access to it, from the last...

Oh that's right...your "natural" gated community of Santo Tomas!! :aagh: :rolleyes::aagh: There is plenty of "natural" mexico around the Penasco area.... Jerry...when is the last time you were actually in Penasco??????????????????????????????????

Might as well do the exchange at the cambio on Calle 13....oh, that's right Jerry, you don't spend much time in Penasco!!!!:stir::jerry:

Thank you Rosy for confirming what I was hearing this weekend from a couple business owners....... On the matter of gouging...that's why I originally went to exchanging some dollars to pesos....the gouging the Pemex stations used to do...giving you 10 pesos to the dollar, when the official...

Hey beachgirl...the next time we're both down in Penasco at the same time, I'll give you USD...why don't you exchange them to pesos?...."since the fee is very small":rofl::moon: All joking aside, I don't mind paying the fee the Mexican bank charges me for the transaction....and it is...

Most foreign countries have an official currency exchange right at the port of entry/airports....which makes it convenient. Many of us that travel to Penasco frequently are able to manage the situation....we know where to go....and like Beachgirl said, she is willing to pay the small fee...

The "problem" as I see it, is that now it is getting harder for Americans to get pesos in penasco.....no banks, and additional charges for using ATMs (in addition to non-bank member fees). I have no problem using either currency....if I can get the peso and can get pesos at the official rate...
