We all know what an increase of 3,500 visitors arriving pretty much all at once upon our little pueblo can make to our economy (that’s about how many passengers an average small cruise ship carries). The annual bike rally brings those kinds of tourists to town; Roger Clyne’s fans hit that mark during his Circus Meximus; Spring Break is yet another period that brings young visitors to town in large numbers…
As that evening progressed, to at least a handful of us who are familiar with the spiritual artistry of one craftsman bursting with love for Puerto Peñasco, realized that this blessed facility really, really needed one of his works of art to insure a constant blessing over all who tread the threshold of the San Peregrino Cancer Center…
Approximately 80 species of whales roam the world’s oceans and seas, and about one third of them spend time in the nourishing warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, either as permanent residents like the fin and sperm whales.
