We went to the Cervantino Festival in Old Port last Saturday night. It was fantastic! It started at 5:00, we got there at 7:00 we left at 11:15- it was still going strong. There was a variety of acts- most were excellent. I don't love opera, but it was incredible. The singers were dressed...

That looks like the road you take out of Old Port- si?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Keep fighting- we love your knowledge you've posted on this site!

That's was the point of the embargo. There are new shrimp nets which allow for the escape of sea turtles. The U.S. State Dept is now satisfied, after inspections, Mexican Shrimpers have and are using the new turtle friendly nets, so the embargo was lifted.

Apparently, the U.S. embargo on Mexican shrimp has been lifted: http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/sns-ap-us-us-mexico-shrimp,0,4259049.storyrgo The U.S. has done inspections on shrimp nets to allow escape of sea turtles.

My father went to the Tel Cel by where the old Jim Bur was- Gloria's Pharmacy just north of Fremont on Benito Juarez. He gets the card that plugs into the USB port on his laptop, and gets internet for about $30 dollars a month. He just bought 2 months worth and I think he said he paid $600...

In Why, at the Casino last weekend, it was $2.69, and at the Chevron it was $2.85. In Penasco it was 8.21 pesos/liter which should convert (at 12 pesos/dollar) to $2.59. Hope that helps and have a great trip- we're coming down on Thursday.

The groundskeeper at the Mayan gave my husband and I a tour, and it's beautiful. My father has played there, and he said it's very difficult. I like the fake saguaro they built so an osprey could build his nest on it by the estuary. High tide would be the most scenic time.

Is there anything like the sunken shrimp boat in Lobos around Penasco? If not, I wish they would sink a boat or put some of the broken cement somewhere in the water close to Penasco for diving, far enough out that the tide wouldn't affect it.

8. You can go clam digging 9. You can see dolphins and sea lions 10. You don't get hit by another surfer when trying to catch a wave 11. You can still find sea shells on the beach I'm sure there are more.

In Rocky Point they call them "100% Puerto Penasco Purebreds".

Wow, that's advertising and art combined. Beautiful.

Thanks Roberto, I thought someone said the Grito was at the palacio(?) which I thought was citiy hall where the police station used to be, but is it in the parque? Do you know what time el grito is? Thanks for any info.

To anyone living in Penasco: Does anyone have info on where Mexico is celebrating it's Bicentennial on 9/15-9/16?

Has anyone tried a "Sand Turkey"? Last Thanksgiving, amongst much teasing, I dug a large pit, started a huge fire, then when the coals were hot, wrapped a turkey in aluminum foil which was put in an aluminum foil roaster, put the turkey on the coals, took some coals and put them on top of the...

When we were down last weekend, the Malecon was packed. Yes, there were more Mexican tourists than American, but the atmosphere in Old Port and the Governors' Plaza was great. My husband and I had a wonderful time- not often you get to see a play about a pregnant Mexican bride, drinking...

Next 9/15-9/16 Mexico is celebrating it's Bicentennial and 100th anniversary of independence(?) of 1910. Does anyone have any information on when the Mexican activities are?

Oops, I meant Bicentennial Celebration. We went down to the Governor's Plaza last night to watch a play- it was great. I highly recommend the comedy- it was really well done.

Has anyone seen any of the dances, plays, art exibits being held in Old Port-Governors' Plaza?

I was wondering if there are any events planned for Independence weekend- 9/16-9/19th which are posted on a website. Although I was looking for activities w/ the locals, I came across this on Rosie's website and thought the group might be interested: http://www.tourismrockypoint.com/events/...
