Nice pictures- I was surprised Libertad didn't look as big as Penasco, and had fewer trees. But the Playa looked beautiful (minus the gas line).

And 3 tons more yesterday.

Here's an interesting article on Mexicans leaving the US and going back to Mexico to find work. http://www.sacbee.com/2011/07/28/3799513/improving-mexican-economy-draws.html

Thanks Russ for the video- it's amazing how much things have changed- condos, Penasco del Sol (aka Plaza las Glorias), even the Light House.

My parents had a 1980 (?) VW diesel pickup- it got such good mpg back then when I drove it I never looked to see if I needed gas. I ran out of diesel on the freeway about 30 miles outside of Tucson. The truck would only go about 65 mph, unless you got behind a big truck, and you could go up to...

Audsley wrote in another post: "Maybe the best hope for the Mirador area is to re-invent itself as Old Rocky Point South with antique stores, quality art and furnishings and restaurants that ladies like (cobblestones, fountains, vines, patios.) Located conveniently for Las Conchas and...

I'm glad to hear the hotel will be finished. They were doing a beautiful job with the stone on the outside, then everything stopped.

It all goes under the auspices of: "no good deed goes unpunished"!

NEVER walk on the beach during a rain storm. People may remember the woman who worked at Mexican Tile Co who was electrocuted in Penasco while walking on the beach during a rainstorm about 10 years ago. Just enjoy it inside!

MexJoe- 5 posts- really?

Mex Joe, I'm tired of the nasty comments and your ego- my personal favorite: "Pochos dont spend money, you know who spends money? The 20-35 demographic who has to have all the latest phones, devices of all kinds, audio, flat screens, my wheels are better than yours, well my C class is better...

OK Mex Joe, I remember a time going to Old Port in July and August AND Labor Day weekend in the 90's and we were the only people there- we felt like VIP at the restaurants. I remember going to Mayan about 5 years ago in July/August and Labor Day and NO ONE was there. Prior to about 2004, July...

And being caught in a Chubasco, and landing on beautiful playa helps you pick out your prime beach front property. As for the fences, they worked out well on our beach, stopping the coyotes and dogs which could dig them up. I can't answer to the fisherman.

Contact CEDO immediately. They build a wire fence around the nest, and track the progress. In Playa Miramar, we had several turtles a few years ago lay nests, and CEDO came out and monitored them. We must have had a nest last year, because around Thanksgiving, I found a small baby turtle...

My point is the Mayan (and most other places in town) used to be DEAD in July/August (even back in 2004-2007), and now it (Mayan) is full. People who stay there may/may not go into town every day, but some do go into town, which benefits places like Flavios. It also takes workers at the resort...

OK, Manny's has closed temporarily, but like I said Flavios was packed. Manny's was dependent on the trailers and Spring Break, and since the trailer parks closed up, it's been hard for them. I wish they would open the Tequila Factory at Manny's in the Mirador- you would get a two fer: the...

I'm speechless- Guanajuato and Vicente in the same video. That was spectacular, and i can't wait to go there some day. It's been tops on my list of Mexican cities to visit, and that video confirmed it. I would love to go the Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, but the festival in Penasco is...

Even if that's true with those people not spending $ in town (which didn't sound true because someone in my family said Flavios was packed during the week), you still need cleaning people, gardeners, Banana boat operators, ATV rentals, etc. We visited the Mayan last weekend, and like I said it...

That's great- I remember a time when Sandy Beach, the Mayan and the town would be dead in July/August.
