Interested in both events. Chari? Mark? Tell us what we need to know.

Bring a dish to share, a chair and your drinks and come on over. Mark and Barb are already coming. I'm sure they wouldn't mind picking you up. 6ish. Then we take the leftovers on the boat for lunch the next day. It's become a tradition.....

sryoder -
your posts sound like you'll fit right in with these folks - Ladyjeeper and Seadweller with all the family and friends that come along are top-shelf real folks.
wish we were coming down like planned way before Teri broke her ankle. good news is that she's healing well and should be off disability soon and back to work.....
enjoy!!

Very cool stuff there Sr. Yoder ! Are you one of the Pa. Yoders? I agree about the busses, hard to tell where they go! Yes the taxi's will bump you up the pay scale if you let them but around town 20MP no problem. FYI you can rent a car for 560 pesos for 24 hours if you get the urge to explore around. Rental place is just down Benito Juarez from your location. You would enjoy a trip to the Pinacate for sure. I'm a permanent resident here so give me a hoot si nesecitas algo.

My ancestors were Amish about 3 generations back but they hailed from Yoder, Kansas rather than PA. Lulu and I hail from Silverton, OR, mostly.

Thanks for the offer of ayuda. Muy amable.

@ sryoder -- I'm really impressed by the pictures you have on your blog of the tide changes! Would you mind if I "steal" them to e-mail to my friends back home? I've tried to take pictures of the tide extremes, but they are from shore and you can just see "water close" / "water far" -- but without anything else in the picture, you can't really judge the distances.

I hope you don't mind, but I sent a link to your blog to a relative who used to do a lot of sailing -- until they lost their boat to Katrina.

$2.00 per ride around Penasco for one passenger is what I pay. However if you are going from the Malecon to the Wrecked at the Reef with 4 people it would be a lot more.

Kea,

Feel free to e-mail the photos. Or you could just send them a blog link. Either way.

I certainly don't mind you send a link to my blog to your relatives. That's how I get new readers. So sorry to hear about the loss of their boat. Once upon a time we thought that a smart thing to do would be to buy a boat in the Gulf states and then start our adventure from there. Then along came Katrina and we quickly changed our minds.

Thanks for the use of the photos! Katrina really did a number on Mississippi & New Orleans. We travel to the Mississippi coast quite a bit, and there are still (almost 7 years later) areas where you can see the damage.

You just don't hear as much about hurricane damage on the Pacific side. Maybe that's just because I live in TX and so I always hear about what happens in the Gulf of Mexico.

¡Enjoy your stay in Peñasco!

I finally found you!! It was so great meeting you and Lulu and going to lunch and hanging out on the beach with Barb and Mark. I'm so jealous of your adventure and am looking forward to reading your blog. You make me really miss the great Pacific Northwest though! Still can't believe that we were born in the same town, LOL Good luck on the rest of your journey....hope to talk to both of you again sometime!!!
