    The Thirsty Parrot

    I remember about 30 (?) years ago when they moved the fish vendors from where the shrimp boats docked to the malecon. Everybody was upset about the move, but it eventually worked out. I hope things work out with the new construction.

    lobos shore fishing

    Those look great-what type of fish are they; what time of day did you catch them; and what type of lure? I'm asking because we went shore fishing in La Pinta on the Mayan side, but didn't catch anything- so we were doing something wrong. Thanks for your input.

    Coffee Haus

    After reading the story about the owners of the Coffee Haus in the Rocky Point Times, we decided to try the apple streudel. It was amazing! I also had the Huevos Rancheros and they were the best I've had. My son is still talking about the waffles-and he doesn't usually rave about food.

    Taste of Penasco

    Thanks to every restaurant who were a part of Taste of Penasco- Max's, Mare Blue, Ramons, Baja, etc. It was our first time, there was a large crowd, and we really enjoyed it. Rosie and Russ did a great job announcing the Iron Chef (I had to leave early, can someone tell me who won?). I would...

    How was the border crossing over Thanksgiving weekend?

    At 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, there were 3 cars ahead of us- 2 lanes open. Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. there were 3 cars entering Mexico. Easiest Thanksgiving at the border in years.

    We're home!

    We got pulled over for inspection also. We've been going down regularly about every other week for 12 years, and have never been pulled for further inspection. The only good news was I didn't have eggs, peppers, or meat.

    Playa del Carmen and Cozumel

    We enjoyed the zip line- Selvatica, and after the zip line, we rode mountain bikes to a cenote, where there is a little zip line, you let go and fall about 10 feet into the cenote. Fun.

    You're right, but I stil think it's funny they ask you why you're leaving and where.

    Mayan Palace

    My husband and I went to the Mayan Cancun for our anniversary- it was a gift. We laughed because as we were leaving the "compound", the guard would ask us "where are you going?" Usually you get asked that question as you are entering. We're not into those all inclusive resorts and only spent...

    money

    Does anyone have a good way to wire dollars to a Mexican peso account? American bank now charging $40/wire- ouch! And the Mexican bank doesn't accept a check- only dollars and I don't want to carry dollars across the border. And I can only withdraw $5000 pesos/day. Thanks

    Mayan Palace

    We went to the Mayan sales office at the end of May just to look at the models- it was PACKED with people from Mexico. The Grand Mayan looks great and is progressing, and Delia is almost done. I never looked at prices.
