Calle 13, it's a fairly busy main street with a stop light that leads to Sandy Beach, the hotel Penasco del Sol, Sunset Cantina, Max's, etc. El Sombrero (the restaurant that is like a mustache & sombrero) is directly on Calle 13 as well. You turn on it just before the giant bridge on the most...

That would be a tough crime to charge, unless it was a child the person was forcing to go under. These guys sound like they know the risks, it's not like a tourist having para-sailing accident caused by faulty equipment or something.

"Rascals and rogues!" Gotta love Google Translate. I'm assuming the "gay men' comment was regarding the trannies, and not a swipe on homosexuals in general. Do you have the link to the original Spanish version?

La Casa del Capitan. Great Margs too! http://web.me.com/kylewood/puertopenascomagazine/lacasadelcapitanrockypoint.html

Ahh, OK, there used to be a place in Mirador that had a mechanical bull. Probably the same bull and it makes its way around town...

This is the one in Mirador, right?

Very good point. For example, when I take last-minute trips and stay at El Mirador Village, a less expensive hotel that's actually on the beach, I feel so lazy to be eating every meal out when I see all the Mexican National families cooking all day and night at the grills out there, not to...

Very sad to hear about Balboa's. Had some great meals and Margs there, but to be honest, completely forgot about it, outside of rushing by on our way to a cruise, trying to make the cutoff. So easy to forget about those little spots once you get set in a routine.

That seems to be the direction they're going. Also guessing that the fish vendors' days on the Malecon are numbered.

This makes me very happy. As I was telling a friend of mine about what happened in San Felipe, she told me she didn't even want to do a sunset cruise again in Penasco, much less the Bird Island trip we have been considering for a while. I know that sounds extreme, but if you're a nautical...

Yes, everyone has been complaining about it. They need to at least make the left side of the street no parking, and then change the parking on the right at a sharper angle, as it's now too perpendicular to the curb. After all the planning and construction I can't believe they didn't take these...

A few years back, when California was also having those PGE-induced rolling blackouts, Penasco was doing the same sort of thing, though I think it was more in residential areas. I noticed it as I was "dating" a gal who lived there in the main part of the city, and she and her roommates acted...

Ahh, I heard the tail-end of that "Pitiquito, my hometown" convo on the show last week. I have to work on the weekends so I listen to the show here and there. And when you play the same old-school, nothing-to-do-with-Mexico-artists like George Thorogood, Leon Russel, Taj etc. week after week, I...

i'm assuming in Las Conchas, as that's what section this was posted on. I've seen some scary stuff in the summer in Las Conchas when everyone's AC is cranked up and you can actually SEE the current running up and down.

how early do they normally open?

But thank God I can bring my typewriter and 5 of my favorite laser discs!

I didn't see anything about the meat & dairy products they've been confiscating recently, but I don't expect a government-run website to have been recently updated either. Could be months before they get that sort of information up.

Tucson has been nice at night as well. I nearly turned off the cooler last night but instead put on a sweater. In July!

Yeah, no $h*t, we walked up the stairs at BooBar and pretty much spun a 180 and left. Actually, nobody on the Malecon had their AC on the weekend before the 4th, even the Caribbean Bay. That was my favorite thing about the Thirsty Parrot last summer. You've gotta spend to make money, people! And...

I know! I used to make trips down to Nogales SPECIFICALLY to visit Mickey's shop and have a shot of that amazing tequila from the back room, stored in a random glass bottle. My friends would think I was crazy, "You're going to go blind!" "Who knows what's in there???" Yes, RIP, Mickey.
