    Fiesta de Cortez

    There is some action regarding the Fiesta de Cortez, the complex not being completed, and people unable to get their deposits back. It sounds like there is going to be a "happy ending" if there is such a thing when you're out money/and or time to enjoy your condo. Anyway, another project in...

    Great Video Rosy

    I don't know if this has been posted before, but Rosy, this is a great positive video about Penasco- (Russ and Naomi you look like you're having fun as well). I heard it was packed again this weekend (at least at Flavios)! The second video is Rosy and Russ' radio show- Rocky Point Ramblings...

    Over 30 Minute Wait Crossing the Border

    This wait was trying to get INTO Mexico from the US Border Patrol last Fridayafternoon, 7/15/11 . I couldn't believe it- traffic coming down seemed non-existent, so we thought we would breeze through the US Border Patrol stop at the border, but no- there were about 15 cars and some were asked...

    Penasco's 84th Birthday Celebration

    Here are some pictures of Penasco's 84th birthday celebration on the Malecon- wish we could have been there. How come the locals didn't let us know- Rosie, Russ, etc- you're slipping!

    Coffee Haus

    After reading the story about the owners of the Coffee Haus in the Rocky Point Times, we decided to try the apple streudel. It was amazing! I also had the Huevos Rancheros and they were the best I've had. My son is still talking about the waffles-and he doesn't usually rave about food.

    Taste of Penasco

    Thanks to every restaurant who were a part of Taste of Penasco- Max's, Mare Blue, Ramons, Baja, etc. It was our first time, there was a large crowd, and we really enjoyed it. Rosie and Russ did a great job announcing the Iron Chef (I had to leave early, can someone tell me who won?). I would...

    Tropical Storm Frank

    Tropical Storm Frank is currently around Cabo, but I don't like what one computer is predicting the storm will head- straight to Penasco (although the last Hurricane Jimena was predicted to hit Penasco, and just stayed and rained by Kino- about the same time last year).

    Fulenio Tacos

    After seeing Inkaroad's review on Fulenio's, we decided to try it out. I thought it was a good deal for $20 pesos per taco, you can put on your own condiments at the salsa bar, but I didn't like that they were breaded and fried. I preferred Blue Marlin's fish, shrimp and marlin tacos because...
