Our son & his family arrived Friday - had been 20+ years since they had last been here. While wandering the malecon he made the observation: So much has changed and yet it is still the same old Penasco - Everyone has a smile for you and are happy to take the time to talk. (I think he ended up...

For those of you considering whether to come down or not - the weather is perfect this morning. Calm sea, blue sky, warm - the type of day you want to wrap your arms around. Sitting on the terrace sipping tea this morning while our El Gato watched a little fishing boat anchored right off...

It is Thursday and woke up to perfect beach weather so if you are thinking of coming down the beach is fantastic. Sat on the balcony early this morning - basking - and enjoying watching kids & dogs & people enjoying the beach and tide pools. Can hear kids laughing at the pool. Our El Gato was...

Saturday we were at Mare Blu with friends (favorite place) - food as always was excellent although very noise and hard to talk - lots of people there and music playing. We've been wanting to try their new place upstairs and took a look at the menu. Prices (especially for Mexican place) seemed...

The other night about 2am we heard sirens and I just read where a jeep over turned and flipped 5 times killing the driver and injuring the other men. It looks like they were coming east along the Sandy Beach road - riding the ridge. Has anyone heard how the other men are doing?

I know someone posted where you would buy shrimp at a great price other then at the fish market, but I can't find it and memory doesn't serve. I think they mentioned the plant where they box them up and sell them to the market guys. Need to buy some shrimp today for our granddaughter and...

Has anyone heard any updates on how the Mall and Movie Theater are coming along? In Sept we were told the theater was basically ready to open and would go ahead and open before the Mall was finished. And that the Mall would be finished within a few months. We haven't paid any attention to it...

Does anyone know of a good doctor(s) and/or clinic in Ajo that takes Medicare? My DH has to have a check up and blood work done every 6 months. We've kept our Med Sup Plan F so going to Ajo makes sense. Sure wish that they would let Ex Pats use it in Penasco - sigh.

Has anyone used the Valley Metro bus from Glendale area to Ajo? Need any info ASAP - thank you.

This is a picture of my mother, Chavela Gehrandt, taken with two of our families friends: Senor Bravo on the left and Dr. Guavara on the right. I think it would have been taken some time in the 1960's at the train station. At that time the trains used to stop here and one went down at midnight...

A friend just called asking if I had heard anything about a shooting today in the middle of the Carnival - I haven't so hopefully it is just a rumor (she had heard it from someone else). Has anyone else heard anything?

Does anyone have updated information on the opening of the Bodega Aurrera? I heard a March 4th opening but haven't come across anything official. And haven't driven by recently. I presume their grand opening will still be sometime in April?:woo:

Does anyone what what the schedule is for the Carnival (March 4-8) - what it costs, etc. Did anyone go last year? If so, impressions? Is it an easy walk up from Sandy Beach or is there good parking available? Any suggestions - info - appreciated.

Is there a good place to get an oil change in Penasco? Cost? Or is it better to try Ajo? Thanks

Has anyone heard any updates on Las Palomas? We heard one rumor that something is happening within the next week or so - financially. Have a friend who put a lot of money down a few years ago and has been in limbo since then.
