This week’s rundown sponsored by Duke’s Restaurant -Bar
Open daily “from 7 am for as long as the body can take it”
Stepping out of the AC confines of my office just the other day was enough to remind me that late July….(through August and early September)…in Rocky Point offers a great opportunity to clear one’s pores. Indeed, there’s nothing like the sensation of being enveloped in a warm, slightly damp blanket or towel – that’s spa-like isn’t it? Or, is it just Puerto Peñasco’s summer humidity, pointing us all back to the inviting sea? Needless to say, it’s….sultry out there. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up.
Remember TAR flights have begun out of Mar de Cortés International Airport
Thursday & Sunday flights connecting Puerto Peñasco to Tijuana, Cd. Juárez, and Hermosillo
