Standing at the beach front of the Sonoran Sky Resort, I shake the sand off my shoes and wipe the salt from my face. It’s been a good day. A good run. I’m pleased with the settling of my heart rate and the slight burning in my quads. Today was my long run, twenty miles on the beach, and it was…
Our announcement last month about the May 25th date for this year’s 2nd Annual Las Vegas Night for Charity hinted that this gala event would be even bigger and more exciting in its second year due to the overwhelming success of last year’s party. And we do mean party!
Now that planning has kicked into gear, the details are getting pretty exciting. Last year’s gala…
From tamales swaddled in corn husks at Christmas, to the spirit welcoming celebration, El Dia de los Muertos, Mexico is a country steeped in tradition. With its tradition laden history, Puerto Peñasco was the natural place to begin customs of my own. Perhaps it was the warm moist air that drew them out of me, or perhaps Puerto Peñasco was just that special place that begged to…
When we were younger, running around Rocky Point (or any other unfamiliar vacation site) we risked our lives on quads and forced our trucks up sandy mountains until they almost rolled over and other crazy, injury-prone antics we performed in the name of adventure. Some of us were lucky enough to make it through those days, others made it with nominal to serious injuries, their friends and relatives wondering if they
The pelican seen on our beaches in Puerto Peñasco is the Brown Pelican, the smallest of the seven species of pelicans that date back 40 million years with very little change especially in their distinct beak formation. Oddly enough, after surviving 40 million years, pelicans were almost rendered extinct in the 1950’s and 60’s by the use of…
There are so many reasons—over 2,500 of them actually—why Americans should support the Puerto Peñasco Red Cross with donations during their annual fundraising campaign that runs through the end of April. About this same time each year, regular visitors expect to see…
Of the hundreds of aviary species around us here, many of which so rare or endangered that they are protected by international laws, one of the largest and most graceful is the Great Blue Heron. A bird of such uncommon beauty no matter how many times we are blessed with its presence, we stop in our tracks to appreciate the sight…
If you were one of the crowd estimated at 1,000 to 1,200 in attendance at the 6th annual Taste of Peñasco T.O.P. Chef Competition and Show on Saturday February 16, you surely experienced the atmosphere of “perfection” that prevailed throughout Plaza de Camarón, starting with the weather, as perfect as it could be, and the 32 exhibits, sold out and offering a perfect selection of homemade, man made and fabricated arts, crafts and products, plus the food tents with perfectly prepared specialty dishes from all parts of Mexico, Italy, France, even Greece; the perfect mix of…
When Roman Candelaria heard about more than one child injury from bursting through the clear glass patio doors on ground floor condominium units, he realized that it could be just a matter of time until a child suffered fatal lacerations. As president of the Sonoran Spa Resort Condominium HOA, he was in a position to do something about it, at least at the Spa.
Another positive indication that progress is buzzing in Puerto Peñasco comes from a recent meeting between the officials of our local convention and visitors’ bureau and top executives of the Tucson Airport who revealed their plan to prove that a feasible market exists to support scheduled flights from major hubs such as Chicago to Tucson and from Tucson to Puerto Peñasco and other Sonoran destinations….
