Puerto Penasco (Rocky Pt), Mexico

Wow, can't believe how many years it has been since I've been down to Rocky Point.  So much has changed since taking annual trips during my childhood.  
 
 
 On our way.  Officially in Mexico.  Can't wait to see the water.  Only about 3.5 hrs to get from Sky Harbor to the Mexico beach
 My assignment for the week- finish this book in time to see Judy Blume speak when I get back to Brookline.  Not that it's a difficult one.  Nice sand, beautiful weather and a good read.  Yup, I can handle it.
 La Vaca Chenta.  Wow, this guy went big time.  Not quite the same as the makeshift tents and popup taco stands that we use to frequent.  Still tasty as ever. 
 There use to be a bakery in this location that we would go to daily and stock up on goodies.  I learned to count in Spanish from the one arm man who owned it. 
 One of the highlights of this trip is meeting the newest member of the family.  My nephew Kingston.  Thanks for making such an adorable baby Mara and Jason.

 Kingston and I woke up one morning and had on matching pajamas. 


Love the beaches here. I'm not sure I have been anywhere else where you get so much beach just to yourself
 

 Caballos en la playa.  Also check out how far the tide is out.  One of my favorite things about here is the variation in the tides.  Even now I enjoy looking through the tide pools and seeing what creatures I find. 

 
 
 Tides in.  Water wasn't completely calm.  We had fun playing in the waves
 Rodeo Drive of Rocky point.  This too has changed quite a bit.  Can't believe everything is paved and actual buildings for the stores.  Got a few souvenirs to take home.  And ate some churros which were so very yummy.  They make them right in front of you. 

The sunsets are so beautiful.  Didn't quite capture it with the camera. 

Brought some of Sara's ashes with us.  Have some fun and funny memories with her coming here.  Think often of her raft being taken away by the tide and her complaints as a toddler of having sand in her butt.  Am glad we got to put a few in this spot. 

Great trip!!  Adios Mexico.
