Maybe I spoke too soon about Fonatur downsizing, lol. Here's an AP story about a new project south of Brownsville, TX. I'd post the story, but the AP is seriously touchy about reprinting their stuff without permission, so here's a link to it. Mexico plans big Gulf tourism center near Texas...

OK. How about posting your link here for us (and for me to grab)? (Never mind, I got it and have added the link)

Amen to that! As for Fonatur/the Government's supposed involvement in this "overly ambitious" project (I agree, Stuart), well Fonatur ain't what it used to be. And with the Secretariat of Tourism (SECTUR) being folded into the Secretariat of the Economy and Fonatur being downsized, I wouldn't...

OK guys, I've got some of your pics posted at http://rptides.blogspot.com I chose half a dozen each from Ink, playaperro and azbeachboy (THANKS!) but Jim I just now saw your post so I didn't snag any of yours. If I send a link your way, will it need an "Adults Only" warning? :eek3: :-P

Sigh. Only a few more posts to get me out of the Calle 13 Player group and into being a Vaquita Wrangler. I'll never catch up with you guys, though. When you're gods, I'll still be a noob. I'm so depressed now. I guess I'll go eat worms. :sad:

Oops. Ink, I can't grab the photos from your site because they're posted in an Adobe flash format. No can copy and save. So maybe I'll just link to your page? Or, you can choose half a dozen or so and email them to me. Your call, either way is agreeable to me.

Thanks, Ink. Looks like I'll have plenty of great pics to share, thanks to all y'all, and I'll make sure you get credit for them. Personally, I think this is great publicity for RP! And special thanks to Rosie for all her hard work on the Rally!

Thanks playa! What name should I use for attribution?

Wow, what great pics you guys! More! More! I'd love to be able to post some of your pics on RP Tides, would any of you be up for that? Of course I'd identify who took the pics, links back to the source where appropriate, and any info you'd want to share about them, etc. Yes? No? (You can let...

I never said I thought it was a good argument. In fact the whole new protocol thing at the border (which started under Bush, btw), including the rfd chip in the passport, ticks me off. If you never had any issues pre-Obama you were luckier than me and Mr. Huerita. Ah, for the good old days...

Muy cool! :) I assume Daniel Chavez (Vidanta/Grupo Mayan head hoohah) was there? Did he give a speech?

It's a family values thing, you know. :rofl:

Actually, the ban on cell phones near border inspection zones is to keep smugglers/potential terrorists from alerting their cohorts to the current situations at the borders so they'll know when it might be safe to try to cross, etc. At least, that's what a BCP agent told me.

A press release from the Mayan Palace folks, issued today; the parent company is now called Grupo Vidanta. It's kind of long. You can see the rest of it at http://rptides.blogspot.com/2009/11/grupo-vidanta-launches-first.html if you're interested. But here's the money quote: So I guess...

That's what I figured. Yeah, that shrimp in garlic sauce is killer, isn't it!

:sunny:

Jim, I'll give your offer a special mention in a Beach Buzz this week. Some folks will do a lot for a couple of free drinks. :coldone: :lol:

¡Bienvenido!, brother d. :sunny:

Well, I finally got my (partial) list of charities published. I still have a few to add, but I wanted to give some comprehensive information about what they do, etc. rather than just list them and it turned out to be more work than I anticipated-- and I pooped out. :oops: I'll get the rest of...

Here's what I've got in RP Tides, as of early this AM (though I wrote it last night), so you don't have to go there for the info. The information comes from several Mexican news sources, which all agree so far on the details and quote both the Port Captain and the Mayor. I'm truly very sorry...
