Many times in the past we've bought superb tequila from Arturo at the old Mickey's Restaurant just down the street from the Thrifty Ice Cream place a block off the malecón. We've been here since the first of December this trip and, although I walk by Mickey's every day, I have yet to see it open...

Thanks guys.

But further from Tucson or Phoenix, things deteriorate. Yesterday we paid $1.25 in Tucson but just a few miles east, in Benson, it was $1.69. $1.79 in Bisbee.

Seems that US Customs is not allowing beef or pork or eggs or meat products, etc. across the border these days. Anyone have any recent experience taking seafood across from Mexico into the US? I'd like to take a kilo or two of frozen camarones jumbos back to Bisbee with me but I'd cry like a...

Down in San Carlos getting the boat ready to sell. All is well.

Could be worse, Gilbert. I remember a store in the US that called a tube of ground beef a "chub". "Pick me up a couple chubs at the store, willya, Honey?"

Glad you found it. Yeah, Cesar, that was his name. You're very welcome.

We had some work done at a good bike shop on Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez. Let's see if I can describe it well enough to get you there. It's easiest to see if you're traveling south on the boulevard. Traveling south, it's on the right-hand side. I think it's just a bit south of the stoplight at...

Whatever anyone thinks about Jerry's politics, etc. I can tell you he is a really nice guy. I rode with him from SE Arizona after he answered my request on this site for a ride from Tucson to RP. He actually picked me up in Bisbee, saving me the hassle of trying to get to Tucson without a...

If you bring a box to cart it off in, I have lots of small, kiln-dried scraps from various projects that make excellent kindling. No charge. You can e-mail me at stephen.yoder(at)earthlink.net for directions, etc.

There have always been poor spellers and/or sloppy typists but "autocorrect" has made all of us look like poor spellers and/or sloppy typists at one time or another.

I got 17.25 at the Banamex ATM day before yesterday.

Ley has a pretty good selection of Chorizo. They have one brand that, instead of being packaged as a tube, comes in a rectangular package of about 500 grams. Can't remember the name but they have Chorizo de Res, Chorizo de Cerdo, and Chorizo Mixto. They are really quite good and doesn't seem...

Pink Cadillac serves good, traditional gringo-style breakfasts (bacon and eggs, hash browns, etc.).

Bobos, maybe? VERY common further south in the Sea. Small, gnat-like, non-biting but very annoying! They always seemed to disappear when the weather cooled down.

Jerry would be the better one to answer this since he came back that way and I didn't. But, on my Guia Roji road atlas, it looks like the highway from Altar north is SON84. The road that turns off it and takes you through Tubutama and ends in Magdalena is not numbered in the atlas.

Negative.

This is the second or third time I have gotten a ride from a posting on this forum. Jerry was a great traveling companion and went so far as to actually pick me up in Bisbee, saving me the logistics of trying to get to Tucson or Phoenix. For those who may be wondering, we drove the Naco to...

I'd be willing to bet it's going to be HORRIBLE!!!!

I came through headed north around noon yesterday. At that time the line of cars extended at least 2 miles and they continued to arrive way faster than the were getting through at the border. Looking over at the Aduana, it appeared that almost no one, if, indeed anyone was getting a green...
