Today (Wednesday) at about 1:00 there was one car ahead of us. On the way home about 10 miles from the border there was a roll-over accident. A lot of cars had already stopped and we didn't want to add to the confusion. On the way to Ajo we passed 5 or 6 different cop cars of various agencies...

Mystery solved. I huge mix up and coincidence but all is well.

So we finally got our new house in Playa Encanto. I signed up for satellite internet. The previous owners had a microwave link. Yesterday two guys show up, ask for me by name and say they are here to install my internet. They play with the microwave system a bit and I got internet. Today I find...

Thanks to all for your help and insights

We are closing on our house this Thursday. One of the requirements is that we stop at the border and get an FMM that shows we are in Mexico for business reasons. I read I could get the tourist card as well as pay for it on line. I was able to fill out the form and print it out, but couldn't find...

ooops..side should have said SLIDE

I remember when the entire street used to get closed off because of too much traffic. I hope Manny's does well. Anyone else remember the side at Pink Cadillac? Also a funny story at Manny's. There was a woman there wearing this blouse that I thought would look great on my wife. I asked her where...

What??? The Cuban cigars in Rocky Point aren't real???? Next thing you'll tell me is the RayBans I got on the beach are fake.

By interesting coincidence I just completed a research contract on cybercrime. Due to the interconnectedness of Mexico's banking system (as compared to the segmentation in the US) the investigation would affect more banks, but it doesn't mean that more banks were breached. Mexico banks, in...

So I read the article and if you look at the paragraph that starts "Under the Fourth Amendment..." and then look at the underlying case law it seems the checkpoints we go through on the way to Rocky Point meet the Supreme Court ruling.

And if I hadn't been doing a personal tequila tasting when I typed my reply I might have spelled things correctly..lol Thank you for the info

I treid emailing Miguel but no replay :(

Excuse my ignorance, but which wifi service do you use in Playa Encanto? I googled RPwifi and didn't come up with anything. We are waiting to close on a house in PE and will want to start wife service soon after we close.

Jerry, Since Mexico doesn't have a formal Border Patrol do you know what Mexican organization these guys are from? The INM is responsible for what happens at the borders but enforcement is usually military and/or state a local police?

Does anyone know anything about the reported shootings on Calle 13?

Would anyone who has recently purchased a house/condo in Rocky Point be willing to share what their total closings costs were. I have gotten estimates (not official ones) of anywhere between $10,000 and $20,000 and was just wondering what to plan on within that range if possible. Thanks so much!

I'm curious, we have always taken Av 16 de Septiembre as a bit of a bypass to part of Sonoyta, but does anyone know if it's worthwhile to turn west right after the border and take Calle D to bypass Hwy 8 road between the border and the intersection of 8 and 2?

Thanks for the reply. I had already made a map that overlays the plot plan the Google earth map and color coded all the lots for sale the are listed in the mls, so we are getting a good idea of what is available? Grant sounds like a great guy but we have already contacted another realtor based...

We are looking hard at moving to Rocky Point. We have been coming down since 1980 (yes, for real!). We don't have specific plans and are looking at a number of possible options in terms of location (we are leaning toward Playa Encanto, but are open) and whether to buy or build. I have read...

I know this is a long shot, but here goes. We were driving through Playa Encanto a couple weeks ago and came on a tan house that was right on the beach that looks like it was abandon a number of years ago. It was in bad shape but near other houses that have been occupied and kept up. We ran...
