Last night DH, friends and I managed to get out of our beach clothes and got all gussied up to attend the Blanco y Negro Ball - the major charity event in Mexico. The Mayor's wife, who headed up the function, did a fantastic job. It was a great turnout, especially considering the size of...

Just noticed that the Boomer Fest web site was (slightly) updated with a site map (too small to read, at least for my eyes) and the announcement that tickets will now go on sale in December. No announcement of which artists will appear.

Last night (Thursday) we went to Pane e Vino and had an excellent dinner as always. They had Cream of Asparagus which was to die for!!! I could have made the whole meal off of the soup. There were no leftovers - not even enough for a 'kitty bag', which most annoyed George. Fortunately we had...

One set of our kids were here and wanted me to go with on one of Russ' tours. So even though I've been here forever I tagged along (I think the kids didn't trust me not to get them lost). Anyway, another very nice couple from NM were with us and we all had a great time. Russ talked about old...

For those of you who worry about driving around Penasco I've got the following warning. It will ALWAYS take you longer then you think it will. Had three objects today when we started out. Pick up my renewal card at the INM office, get cat food and litter, and actually pick up a few things we...

In googling just found the following about the Boomer Fest - so it is not just a Penasco topic of conversation now :) Boomer Fest Days Announces First Annual Event May 1 Russ, do we get to know the names now? Pretty please!

I read in Numernouno this morning where five casinos had been seized in Sonora. Does anyone know if any of them were in Penasco?

After getting us lost (I'm really, really good at that), discussing directions with two young ladies who lived a far distance from La Cita but pointed us in the general direction - then more directions from another gentleman who was crossing the street, we finally arrived at La Cita. If one...

Bragging a little - our two granddaughters did a teaching by rap ballet video - it was for Chase's Master's class. Needless to say, we could be bias, but we think it is cute and could bring a smile. Teach Me How to... Ballet! - YouTube Sorry off the subject of Penasco but with all the bad news...

Does anyone know what the hours are for Sam's Club? Thank you.

This morning a large double pane window at our place shattered into a million pieces. Fortunately it was safety glass and stayed in place rather then exploding all over us as we were sitting right next to it. We immediately called Rosie of ProAlliance (our agent - thank heavens!) and Adriana of...

The Azul Bar at Bella Sirena has a special of fresh pineapple Pina Colada. It was wonderful! Especially on a warm, more humid, 4th of July afternoon. Would be hard to find a better one. Lots of people in the water and on the beach as well as utilizing every pool.

What time does the voting close? How soon are they likely to announce results? I'm betting that it isn't like in the US where the major stations seems to know the outcome even before the polls close. It amazes me that I haven't come across any US news on the Mexican elections. You would think...

Just read where the movie complex is suppose to open this Thursday, June 28th. Pictures of it look great. Also in the article it mentioned a Super Santa Fe coming into the mall plus other businesses. Perhaps that is why a lot of work suddenly being done. Anyone know anything about timing, what...

Came across the border this afternoon and had the green light changed to red - same thing for guy behind us. All the slots were filled and they had us part on the right side of the road. Asked to open our trunk - border guard took a quick look and wished us a good trip. What we noticed was they...

Went by Sam's Club yesterday - Building is painted, complete with logo; parking lot is finished complete with lighting; all building materials cleaned up. Heard it is opening on the weekend of the 22nd. Looks like they will have no problem making that date. One thing about things the Walmart...

Weekend of 1 June 2012 - Pure joy spilling over at being in Penasco.

Our two GDs and their friend drove down for a short weekend from Phoenix. No wait at the border & got the green light, a smile and a wave. It was their friend's first trip to Mexico - before she had read the media hype and stayed away. The girls, used to California beaches where they wouldn't...

In the Rocky Point Times there was a question as to whether anyone knew the location of the old movie theater. I vaguely remember that as you entered the old port there was one on your right hand side. My DD remembers the following. It would have been in the early 70s: f you walked out the...
