Thanks Russ-enjoyed hearing what's happening in Penasco while I listened to it in Tucson. But you said there were no events planned for September, you forgot Dia de Independencia and El Grito- Viva Mexico!

Unbelievable this has happened 3 times, and for it to be preventable.

Is this a 3rd diver dying? http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Felsoldecaborca.info%2F If so, this is unbelievable.

Took a day trip to Penasco, arrived at 12:30- temperature was 91 and breezy- nice on the beach, didn't take the temperature there but it felt cooler. Gas was 9.01 pesos/liter or $2.83 if you get 12 pesos/dollar. Don't want to get in an argument, but there were a lot of cars coming down at...

"Projected application of more than 50 million pesos With an estimated investment of between 50 to 60 million dollars (I don't know if they meant pesos as in the title or dollars), and the creation of at least 60 jobs during a first phase, a US “green” company is looking to invest in Puerto...

Stuart, how big does that shark look? Also, a couple of weeks ago, we were snorkeling on the rocks, and I thought I saw a couple of baby sharks- how small are they? These looked about 6" long, but the water was getting murky.

Is that like a SNUBA? I know w/ Snuba, you can only go to about 10', but have the advantage of not having to come up for air.

Very cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_PidpbRxXg Not so cool: (unless you like sharks) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b76Q_IBqmMw (apparently the shark doesn't like sea gulls because the gull isn't concerned)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean link the $3.7M w/ the other bust, just thought it fit the title. Speaking of Acapulco Russ, here's some hopefully good news: http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2011/08/federal-police-arrest-el-koreano-leader.html

Someone is REALLY mad: (if someone can do a better translation- great, otherwise, here it is) A U.S. couple was caught on Tuesday August 2 in possession of 3.7 million dollars in the customs of Sonoyta. The money was transported in a suitcase, according to the customs authorities. The...

Just FYI, the eastern beaches- Encanto, Miramar, and Dorada all used to run solar. Although Playas Miramar and Encanto now have electric, I liked not having an extra bill (although our electric bill w/ solar running as well is about $3/month). As for water truck delivery, it's nice to know...

Those trailers are in for a "Haboob" aka dust storm when those cars hit the track. On the other hand, it does make for a pretty sunset!

Thanks Esperanza for the info on the restaurant- I feel a road trip coming up. Can you see the water from the restaurant, how are the prices, and do you know if they're open at night? I've tried to find restaurants serving fish or shrimp south of town close to the water, but haven't had any...

We've had several friends go to the Mayan timeshare program to get the free brunch, and end up with a timeshare. We tell them to look up online and buy there instead if they REALLY want one. All have cancelled their contract w/ Mayan, some purchased online- big discount.

We love Arizona Auto- they have a computer hook up and have diagnosed problems w/ my car and fixed it for a great price.

If you read the second link, it says Daniel Chavez has taken back control: "Fast forward to 2011: Whew! Word on the street is that Daniel Chavez Moran/Mayan Palace has taken control of the Fiesta de Cortez again (what IS it called these days?), and plans are reportedly being made to fix...

What is the restaurant like? Is it on the water? What does it serve? Might be a fun road trip.

There is some action regarding the Fiesta de Cortez, the complex not being completed, and people unable to get their deposits back. It sounds like there is going to be a "happy ending" if there is such a thing when you're out money/and or time to enjoy your condo. Anyway, another project in...

Also remember, August is probably the hottest/ most uncomfortable month, so drink a lot of fluids (beer doesn't count!), be prepared for humidity and stay close to the A/C.

$5 Million dollars =you named this thread correctly.
