    Labor Day Roll Call.....

    Gringo...Here in Los Conchas Section the Sat/Net signal does not show up. I spoke to them and they don't have plans to upgrade. Hence the steek.

    Labor Day Roll Call.....

    Telcel Amigo 3G broadband stick. Got it at the big Telcel store across from Circle K. Long wait, but it works real well. I will be making a post about this trip later, but that's where I got it. I got the expensive stick for around $50.00 which includes 30 days at 3 Gig max. I'm down in...

    Labor Day Roll Call.....

    Thanks Roberto. It wasn't easy but it works like a charm. The test will be next visit, November time frame when I have to recharge the account. By the way, had a great breakfast and Bloody Narys at Manny's this morning.

    Labor Day Roll Call.....

    I'm sitting at the beach and it is quite warmish. This morning was really wet. The wind is sort of off shore and it has helped the humiditty. Sorry to leave tomorrow. Trip report later. It has been very interesting. A hint....the Gendarms.

    Oh Happy Day!

    There's a little igloo place on the lake in Port Clinton called Jolly Rogers. Best Perch Sandwich anywhere in the world. Try it. If you don't agree I'll pay for it. The breading is wonderful is joined with the onion rings.

    Oh Happy Day!

    Jerry, Thanks for the info. Obviously larger than Lake Erie Yellow Perch, but none-the-less quite tasty. Are they available at the Old Port. I'll have to ask next week. What a great informative site this is.

    Oh Happy Day!

    OK Roberto, you seem to be the vast authority here, or was it half vast, anyway, are you aware of fish that we used to get in California called "Sand Dabs"? I liken them to good old Lake Erie small yellow perch. Are you aware of any ever being sold in the RP area?

    Wheres the best place to exchange dollars for pecos

    Just as an aside, the first time I went to RP a number of years ago, when I left, I filled up at a Pemex. I had no idea what I got, how much of it I got and how much it cost me. I do know I got back to the gate and still had plenty of gas left over. Next week the same thing will happen...

    Sononyta speed trap

    LUCKY ME. I'll bet I have made that trip through Sonoyta fifteen times in the last three years and have never seen a cop or had my dectector beep once. I usually go through in the morning both ways and that may have something to do with it. I guarantee you, I will watch the limits from now on...

    Who serves the best hamburgers in Penasco?

    Hamburgers in Mexico. Hamburgers in Mexico. Are you kidding me??? Don't talk to me about hamburgers in Mexico. Sadly, I only get to RP about three times a year for about three to five days at a time, so I go for the shrimp, shrimp, shrimp. I also leave with the gout, gout, gout. That...

    How safe is Penasco?

    Stuart, Many of us have that experience. Grandson has finished up a year at Teen Challenge here in Tucson and is working there as an intern. What a turn around. We thank God for his on going recovery.

    Hacienda Las Fuentes

    Hey Roberto. I'm a confused old dolt. Can I assume the Hacienda is opening back up as a restaurant and the hotel (?) will be a casino? Hacianda is my favorite restaurant in RP. I particularly like the Steak Ranchero.

    New Italian Restaurant Open

    Chef Luca..Thanks for the response. $17.95 is reasonable for that. Do I know where that liquor store is???? I practically live there. Hope to see you in August.
