mis2810, how many KW were consumed during that period?

I am pretty sure that the whole Penasco area is on the zone 1E subsidy schedule. My place in Cholla is on it. Someone with a Condo on Sandy Beach could verify this. Russ, With a $110 bill for 2 months during the summer, you must keep the A/C running to a minimum.:eek: I would be miserable from...

Look for the Zagas stations, there are 5 that I know of, one is next to a Pemex on Benito Juarez at Sam Ocana about 5-6 blocks north of the Sam's Club/Walmart. There are 2 more propane stations on the northern edge of town past the old airport on the main highway.

Miguel Sauzo in Cholla does good work and has fair prices. He's done work for me and others for 15 years. Speaks English, and shows up when he say's he will. Let me know if you want his number. All the Cholla water truck guys know him well. Miguel's number is 011-52-1-638-113-3519, I believe...

Last 3 trips down with expired passports for our 17 and 18 year old teenagers, BP agents never said a word. Imagine that.

Mid October can't get here soon enough. I want to go down to RP but it's just to miserable this time of the year. (for me anyway)

Great report, your experience is pretty normal during this time of the year. I also buy only frozen this time of the year. When you come back in Aug. be prepared for even warmer temps with little wind and the ocean water will be like bath water warm. But still a great time as long as there is a...

You can pay $20 to rent a space at the Reef RV park to have access to Sandy Beach, did that last trip down and used it 2 days since it was covered under the 24 hour limit of the parking pass.

Went there in early June, for late lunch, they had 4 tables occupied. Service was very good, waiter that served us back in March remembered us. Good atmosphere and décor, place was very clean. They serve most beers and I had a Pacifico at happy hour prices, $2 if I remember correct.:):) We had...

We all love Mexico, but am disappointed with the attitude of just leaving trash at the beaches and other places. Just go to Tucson beach in Cholla after a big weekend and there is a lot of trash left there, and more than a couple of baby diapers. I went to Mi Playa after it first opened the...

Getting back to the monsoon in RP, not anywhere else. RP mainly gets the cloud build ups in the distance, the humidity and wind from the monsoon. Storms come so tantalizingly close. The ocean gets pretty active, messing with the fishing and becomes very interesting if your on a boat...

+1 on the well said, boy do I miss the Villa Granada, loved the Saturday afternoon specials they had. My wife's parents and their RP friends would take us there every time we came down.

Russ, your post has me seething with Envy. Ok just very jealous!:)

Most digital cameras can't handle the exposure range of sunsets and sunrises, pro cameras are a bit better. The trick is to wait about 15-25 minutes after the sun goes down or before it rises (called the golden moment) or make sure the sun is behind some clouds to reduce the dynamic range of the...

Bet they cast them on site to save on the trucking costs, wear and tear on the roads an trucks. But then all the middle men wouldn't get their cut.

And helps keep you dry when the humidity is here with the monsoon season. Amazing that in 2 weeks it has gone from hot and tolerable to close the house up and see you in October. LOL

These scams seem to be everywhere, I have had friends ask about them because they are happening more frequently these days. When crossing into Sonyota last year and this year, I get 150-200 feet past the Aduana station and some guy in a beater PU truck pulls up next to me and said rocks from my...

+1 on La Curva, always decent to very good. We've been there many times over the years. I don't worry about getting sick there. Go there at lunch and you will see more locals than Gringos.

When I had Mexican Fan palm trees, I would always wait until July 1st to make sure the trees bloomed. One year I was talked into trimming before July 1st, not realizing they hadn't grown the pod branch and I had seeds and pollen in my pool for 3-4 weeks.:mad:
