Directions In Penasco

Our Granddaughter and Grandson arrived yesterday with 2 friends - one had never been out of the US before. He wasn't impressed with Sonoyta but then he got a look at our Sea of Cortez and immediately understood why people fall in love with Penasco.

They ventured out to La Curva last night and had a great meal. But came back laughing about how people give directions here. They discovered that they didn't seem to use street names - it was turn at the Corona building - cross the railroad track and turn right - turn at the diagonal road :) They decided that driving around town is an adventure in itself and you end up meeting a lot of great people. Of course the person who gave the original directions, which managed to get them lost in the first place, was me. I guess my "make a right, then another right, you'll see a big house on the NW corner, make a right, etc. - left a few things out. Heck, when I go someplace I just let my car find it's own way around Penasco.

And it is even cool for July plus they revisited the Azul Bar. Life is good.

It is an adventure! Sometimes when we're driving around and I'm looking for one place, I wind up finding another place that I'd heard about but never knew where it was exactly, and then I say, "Oh that's where that is!!!!" :-P

And then to try and find that place again sometimes is a challenge.

Strangely Caborca is laid out in a orderly way and is easy to navigate.

I have lived here 8 years....I drive home a different way each day from whatever business (usually monkey business) it is I am attending to just to see new things, I love it all the way!

I can't wait until I can get lost in RP on a daily basis!

For the less adventurous you can dowloand a street map of RP from Google maps. It includes street names.

But the streets done always have their names on them :)

They do if you expand the map. I was amazed at the detail.

A lot of street signs are gone when you drive around. Keep an eye out for the "ALTO" ones in very weird places.
