    What will it take?

    The farms outside of Caborca are huge. I spend a lot of time in and around Caborca the produce coming out of there is incredible - the stuff you see from the road is NOTHING like you see whe you get back into the Ejidos. Phenomenal is an apt adjective. This summer had the chance to talk to...

    We will see 14 before we see 10 again. Watch the US stock market. When it takes a tumble the peso gets weaker as well. I wonder if these two economies are connected? (snicker) The world market is unstable at best, I think we will see another "correction" in US stocks and the value of the...

    DM All due respect here, I contend that the casual traveler will have no problems using their dollars at the touristy places, hotels, restaurants etc. Their experience will be hampered if they must use dollars everywhere though as this is Mexico and it is sovereign and can enact its own...

    Thats all fine and good DM about how Americans want to spend their dollars, they should have no problem in the places that they hang out in. I am simply saying that when you live in and do business in a foreign country you need to drop the attitude and ride the bus with everyone else. IE spend...

    I am no Rosie, but I will say that when you read that Mexicans are coming to the US to spend money on school supplies or clothes or whatever I assure you that they have to change whatever pesos they have for dollars for their USA purchases. If they have credit cards they can of course use those...
