PUERTO PENASCO MEXICO

Dave, eat your heart out. Look what they are doing with Tortuga's now.
They are making wine bottle stoppers with Iron wood carvings on them. We also got one with a Road Runner on it.

This little guy was hamming it up for the camera. He carries that tray on his head and very seldom touches it. In the back ground you can see the supports for the new construction they are doing in front of the fish market. We paid $6.50 a Lb. for shrimp that were 12 to a Lb. We got 30 Lbs. I bought five lbs. of Dorado for $3/lb. The shrimp were fresh off the boat as they were still beheading them when we got there. The shrimp were mostly for our neighbors.
We eat dinner at the "Friendly Dolphin" one of my favorite restaurant in Puerto Penasco. It is so sad the way things are going down there. Only three tables filled at 7:30 PM. There are very few tourist on the streets. We had no trouble going or coming.

Lin's dinner was shrimp wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven.




Chuck had shrimp fried in garlic and butter.


Mary had a grilled fish faille. She thought it was a little dry, but tasty.

I had my favorite Shrimp and pasta. The sauce they used was a chappolti sauce and was very good.


Looking at the Baja from our room. At sunset.



I took this photo early in the evening to show the empty RV park. Only the front row was filled. It was the same way at the Reef RV park my favorite park in P.P.

This is a shot of our hotel the Playa Bonita from the beach. Our room is the second from the front on the left top floor. Chuck and Linn were in the front left. They were very nice rooms, clean and smoke free.

Chuck, Lin, and Mary at "Happy Hour" at the Playa Bonita a must do thing. They broke with tradition and had "Pina Coletta's" I stuck with my ways and had a beer.

A few of the vendors that show up at happy hour. On the far right in the back ground there is a small building separated from the rest of them. That is the "Point" a very good place to eat.

This is from the "Point looking at our hotel.

If you click on the photos they will get larger. In this picture the silver haze is about a million small fish that came into the shallows to avoid the birds that were feeding on them.
