I went snorkeling in off Pinto point in Cholla Bay on Saturday and from 20-50 feet off the shore were huge schools of 2-3" long silver fish (sardines?). Literally there were millions of them and when you got under the huge swarms of fish, being back lit with sunlight, that provided a...

Its just north of The Fruiteria 200 feet on the west side, a yellow store front.

My new favorite flour tortilla place is on Sinoloa just south of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. 2 businesses down from the OXXO around the corner from La Curva. 20 or 23 - 10" tortillas for 20 pesos, they are great and freeze well. They also have flour taco sized ones.

It closed at 19.69-1 today on the currency markets. In RP, on Friday the cambios were quoting 18.4-1. At Banorte on Friday it spiked from 19.25 to 19.55 between 2 trips by it, in a span of 4 hours. I got change from a $50 at the Super Norte store at 18.75 pesos to the dollar this past...

At $165 that does seem pretty low,. In May, I bought a new middle grade Cal King pillow top they had with box spring it was $360 (6600 pesos) got 18.5 -1 using a no fee CC. Humm, maybe? because the peso is 19.4-1, when Buff Marty bought, so buying just my mattress would be $250 today, sounds...

Plus 1 on treating people with respect. I like to think of taking stuff across the border as an adventure in legal smuggling.:)

It was 72 in Cholla this morning but 78% humidity, so I ran the ac a bit. It is pretty toasty today. We went snorkeling at Pinto point and found the usual warm pockets of water but also found some chilly pockets as well. There were swarms of silver shad in the shallows with lots of Sargent...

It was toasty but dry yesterday took about 4 hrs to cool the house below 80 for sleeping . Really nice this morning at 70 degrees, but got really toasty today and the humidity is back again. Tacos Brisas is air-conditioned now but tacos went from 15 pesos to 19. But still a deal.

That's what I did, but it was never needed. The agent wasn't interested in the armoire I had on my trailer. Now I wish I took a little more with. Not too greedy though. Lol

Well I just crossed they waved me through no problem and no duty

Boy do I miss the old days where a $20-40 tip usually took care of getting stuff across the border. JJ, the Aduana check at San Luis is a really tight turn.

There are a lot of options available for people. And yes most local's won't pay $3 for a beer. I don't visit JJ's, Bandito's, Wrecked very much because they think Gringo's should pay $3-3.50 a beer. There are a number of places that sell beer for $2-2.50 each in RP, some actually have happy...

Since the 2 dressers are used and show some wear, I'm going to trailer them down and wing it at customs. I will say "segunda mano", "usado" and "antiguo" a lot. (second hand, used and old) I will see where that gets me. I am hoping I get the green light and that the customs office closes before...

Yep, Full moon the 16th. At least the weather will be great. I will be there that week. Starting tomorrow the morning lows will finally drop into the 60-70's but still toasty during the day.

Starting Thursday the humidity should ease a bit, it will still get into the 90 s but the dew points will drop into the 50-60s which will be better that almost the 80s which is the summer trend in RP. October 15th is the magical date for turning off the A/C. :)

Does anyone know how they would treat a couple of dressers I'm trailering down Thursday night. They are 15 years old and were originally purchased in Mexico. What time does the customs building close? I'm going through around 8PM. Thx

It's getting pretty close. Use the link below to see animated map. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/sw/h5-loop-ft.html

Should be no problem, there is parking for maybe 20 cars including along the road down to Tucson beach. Get there early especially on weekends.

Wow, a 240 minute wait at 8PM. (4hrs :() That's why I always stay an extra few days on holiday weekends.

So far, at 12 noon only a 60 minute wait- 6 lanes open. We all have seen much worse.
