    Portable A/C at Coppel

    We just bought a 1 ton mini-split from Muebles Coloniales- was supposed to cost around $305, but it was out of stock, so we bought the same Mirage unit with heating for $318 ($4295 pesos including IVA) with the heater! The unit uses 950 watts Mini Split Mirage Absolut V - $ 6,500.00 en...

    OLD PORT entry and exit blocked

    We were in Penasco also, and had to get home to Tucson, so we thought a good idea would be to take the toll "road" from Altar to Sasabe. I called us the Griswalds as in National Lampoons Mexican Vacation. There were so many vans burned out, supposedly by the drug cartels where a Coyote did not...

    After 45 Years I'm Wondering is there Value is in RP?

    I agree with Russ- if you go to the tourist places, you're going to pay "tourist" prices. When you first visited Penasco, there were no tourist places to go to. Now you need to find where the locals eat and buy, and you will enjoy cheaper prices. Also, you will meet some fantastic, beautiful...

    Sonoyta Bridge?

    The easiest way to tell you is go to the T intersection by the Circle K, turn right (if your hungry and if it's after 4:00, stop at El Serape Tacos on your left side after you make the right turn), make your first left and cross over the river then make a right at the stop sign.

    Right, in Miramar the water truck couldn't get water, but I think I saw him yesterday, so it looks like the water is flowing.

    Just passing it along...

    I enjoyed listening to your show yesterday Rosie- wish we could have been there, but the beach was calling. Hope Russ got dunked a lot. I have a question for the Consolate: I heard if you get an FM3 for 5 years, then your FM2 for 5 years, you can qualify to get a deed to your house- not...

    Alert! Water shut off at Las Conchas!

    Yesterday, on Benito Juarez after about the 2nd stop light coming south into town, there was a huge water leak- about 2 feet deep, and I'm wondering if that's what caused this.

    We're outta here!

    Great! We got here last night- it's REALLY windy. If you're coming down, bring your sweatshirt. I wasn't ready for 70 degrees and 20 mph wind. Also the waves are really big, but they said the winds would slow down by Sunday for your boat trip.

    Wow Joe, way to escalate this thread! I don't think Chari was being snoody or condescending. Let's lower the temperature and get ready for a great weekend in Penasco. 7 more hours!
