    One Way Streets

    Be careful to watch for one way streets as they have changed some of the street directions in the Old Port neighborhood. The main streets are unaffected. The 'back way' street has reversed one way directions, you can go in but not out. Signs are 'on the floor' as the officer told me so don't be...

The moon was up quite a bit off the horizon and there were several wide white bands horizontal across the sky between the moon and earth. The white...

    Rolllling Thunder Arrives

    Thursday, 4 PM. Bikes are rolling into town. The sound of open pipes is bounding around. Saw several groups on Benito Juarez. They looked like the semi-serious category, not the real ones and not the pretend ones. Fun to try to guess. When they pull up to a traffic light, stop and almost fall...

    Gonocci

    Thought I died and went to gourmet heaven last night at Panne Y Vino. I'm not sure how to spell it but I sure knew how to eat it. True, it's not a typical Mexican restaurant but it sure is a treat to eat there. Luca does a really good job, you should try it next trip.

    Now being sold on the streets of Penasco.

    Now being sold on the streets, Fresh Asparagus. Also, sad to report, a guy selling birds on Fremont at Sinaloa. Parakeets, Parrots and probably other colorful birds jammed into cages. Wish I could buy them all and let them loose.

Guess it's the same as the other one closer in town but I...

    Bancomer Cajero Fees

    Maybe it's just my type of card but Bancomer has been the lowest fee, like 22 pesos, for a transaction. Today the fee was 66 pesos.:shock::shock: Needless to say I did not use them today. Called NBA where the account is and they said no increase on their end.
