Bill and Helen,
So glad you're having fun in Puerto Penasco. It is a nice little place. I sure hope the Condo thing does not ruin it. Did you take the 27 mile drive east of Organ Pipe? If you didn't then you missed a great desert experience. They even have a couple of hiking trails that looked really nice. Of course I can't do the hiking thing but if you can I think it would be worth it.
The fish vendors and the guys that want to take you out for a fishing trip are the ones we had to beat off. Other than that the store experience was totally normal. No problems at all. I don't think we in the states understand how to barter! We ended up paying about as much for stuff there as we would have paid in the states! We need more practice!
Enjoyed your pictures. Does not sound as if you've done the travel east of west of town as of yet. As a matter of fact the Condo you show on the beach seems to be a new one from when we were there just a year ago! Good luck and keep having fun. We found nothing but helpful people in our travels to that area.
Enjoy and see you later. Hopefully we'll be able to hook up in Quartzsite. If you haven't done Yuma yet you may want to spend a week or so there. Lots to do and see around there too. Including Algodones. Algodones is a little Mexican town right on the border. It is basically a place to pick up discounted drugs. You can get good supplies of the prescriptions you may need. By the way you do NOT need a prescription. Just know the name and dosage of whatever it is you're taking. Also good place to get glasses and dental work.
Later.... Dennis and Mary Kay
