We are only 28 days from the start of the Annual Christmas Posada’s which start on December 16. In most countries the 12 days of Christmas are celebrated but in Mexico it is the 9 days leading up to Christmas Eve or Noche Buena as it is called. During this time families gather every [...]
In Puerto Peñasco, there are charity events nearly all year long. So when Santiago Ruiz, director of Casa Hogar home for the elderly came aboard 4 years ago he knew he had to find something different to raise funds.

WOW, soon it will be 2018! Where has 2017 gone? Glad the internet is around to do bill pay as I recall writing checks for everything and then it would take 6 months before I would get the new year correct. Times have changed and now I get annoyed in a store when someone writes [...]
