Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico

Friday, about noon, we took off for the weekend. Our voyage would normally be drive up to Lake Powell, with boats and camping gear. Not this time, this year we drove south to Rocky Point, in Mexico. We stayed at the Sonoran Sea, which was quite nice. Nice and quiet. A little too quiet.

Once night time fell, on our first day, we were a little disappointed. We were on our Patio laughing while playing a drinking game and were told to keep it down. The whole place was about 25% occupied… Our neighbors upstairs were told to turn their music down. That kinda sucked.

My nightstand was stamped with “Made in America” on the inside in the drawer. How funny is that? hahaha

We also found out that the hot water heater was on a different circuit. When it was finally found on Sunday, Jaime and I found out that the hot water didn’t reach our bathroom. Boooo!!!!!!

Really though, for the price that we paid, six of us, for $100 each, for four days, that’s a nice luxury condo for $25 a day. You can’t beat that!

One day, Jaime just wanted to go into town and buy massive amounts of fresh fish and shrimp, we all jumped into the car and Rob drove us through town and started haggling and giving the vendors a hard time. We got a great deal and vendors even peeled, deveined and butterflied.

We ate like kings that night and weren’t too full! Later we went over to the Boobar, the bar that Camille and Jaime went to for Jaime’s bachelorette party. It was actually pleasant. I thought it would be a shit hole. I don’t know when it happened, but there is no smoking allowed in bars in Mexico. I think cigarettes cost even more down there too. How funny is that?
