Puerto Penasco–Sonora-Mexico

Well, except for the wind that comes and goes, due to the weather from the pacific and northwest, it has been sunny and warm.

Of course today (Oct. 23rd), it is expected to reach 100 degrees F. But with the breeze, the beer, marguerites and coconut shrimp, life is good. The nights are always cool, so life is really good.

We arrived a little after 12, on Friday, easy border crossing except now, they are stressing the paperwork for pets, so be prepared with all of your paperwork in hand as you arrive and wait your turn. At the same time, look closely at the US border crossing, look how you will need to get back across and which lane you need to be in with your Rv.

Once across, proceed slowly drive safely while you are in Mexico, remember you are guilty until you prove your innocents. So, please remember this.

Puerto Penasco, is about 60 minutes from the US-Mx Border, so take your time and let everyone else pass you. As there is no need to rush, especially if you have already made your reservation. This time we came in the back way? or at least that is how I describe it. Look for the sign that says El Golfo, just as you take the right exit of the overpass.

Once home, setup and relax we spent time together, sipping a few bottles of wine. Well some sipped while others guzzled. In all we went thru 3 regular bottles and 1 large one. Someone or ones were thirsting. Dinner, was spent at “The Wreck”, good but not exceptionable, this time.

We really have not spent all that much on the beach at night, so, we really need to get back into the beach bumming. We have been trying to locate Don Julio Tequila, in the stores, but not much success, that is until today. While Susan was shopping at the Super Ley, she came across a pleather of DJ. So, asking the nice lady, she said Total, meaning all of them. Next thing she knew was, she had more friends then she realized inside the Store. So, we are now stocked  up with DJ Tequila for a while. Things have changed around town. The prices for tequila has gone up in some places but down in others. Seems like Sam’s is trying to make a killing selling tequila, while the Bodega has not raised there price, and the Super Ley’s is selling Don Julio, at the same price Sam’s sold it in the Spring time.

Shrimp price’s seem to be stable and with a good shrimp opening (Sept. 17), they are expecting a good harvest. We see many boats each day as they come and go in the harbor. We will keep you informed as to the quality of the shrimp, especially the coconut shrimp. Well it is time to leave you, I will see about getting this posted soon, but due to the internet, it may take a little longer, especially with uploading the photos.

So, back to this blogging thing. It has been 6 days since I started this post, and I better get it released soon, before I forget what I am doing. What have we been doing ? CoCo-Shrimp, eating at local street carts, finding fried ice-cream cart. Birthday Girl Lind to dinner, fixing small things floating around. Jeff and Linda getting a new cabinet for less then$500, where Dave’s Custom Cabinet wanted $3000.

Many walks on the beach and the area, seeking new sites. Just plain having fun, taking photos and posting the photos, which I will get to soon in this post. Soon is now, links below to photos
