    Liberty Cove/Coastal Highway update

    We took the new toll road this week end and it was perfect. Very fast. Starts about three miles east of San Luis crossing on HWY 2. Took it both ways. Much better/faster heading to Rocky Point. The toll road drops you just ahead of the federal check point.

    "Glow in the Dark" Waves!

    We saw this a dive trip on the El Duke out of San Carlos it was incredible. A pod of dolphins came to check out the boat and you could see long trails in the water behind them. It was like an alien esperience. We also had the sea lions check us out when we anchored at the island for the nite.

    Border Militia

    The Federales use the KA band same as highway patrol in the US. The cops in Sonoyta are just using old equipment with the X band. Its easy I have always found them in the same place. What I found to be worse is the Park Police on the otherside of the border.

    Great family atmosphere! I eat at least one meal a day there when I am down. Try the tortilla soup or the chile rellenos. My personal favorite is chile quiles.

    cell phones

    You can buy them at any Telcel store. You can buy the phone card at the SuperTs, and many other small stores. You need to buy phone cards for area two for them to work.

    Putting money in a mexican bank
