    I've been traveling to all parts of Mexico - south, north, east and west - for over 25 years. I eat on the street and I eat in nice restaurants. Never in all the years have I had food poisoning - EVER. Someone on this forum suggested the restaurant at Lluvia del Mar hotel on the main...

    DVR?

    From what I understand Penasco is still on analog TV service. We have Megacable TV service and they don't provide DVR options here in Penasco because it is still analog. Any ideas on how I can record shows to watch later? Does Tivo work on analog? Thanks.

    Border Wait

    OMG, last night it was like a flashback to 2004. THREE HOURS in line to cross! When we go on a holiday weekend we normally wait until the day after to come back but this time it wasn't possible. Figured because so many people hate the heat and humidity this time of year it wouldn't be so bad...

    Puerto Viejo Cafe

    Bought a 1/2 kilo of the Pirate's Blend coffee there on Saturday. Tasted it on Sunday morning. Heaven in a cup!!! This is their darkest blend, but they have others. It was about $8.00 for the bag which is normal for the same size of premium coffee in the US. Definitely worth it.
