¡AMOR! With Valentine’s Day on a Friday, coupled with the US Presidents Day 3-day weekend, what’s there not to love? Following the tremendous dousing Puerto Peñasco received this week, the sporadic lakes around town are hopefully drying out as things are heating up. There’s plenty going on around town this weekend, so let’s get to it and run it down!
