What is the best way to carry or access money? Should I change my money into Pesos?

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Here is some good advice we got from a couple we met in San Carlos one time. They told us that they like to carry cash, and they always prefer to carry small bills like, ones, fives, and tens. We asked them why that is? They said it make it so much easier to get change when you go shopping, or buy items, or just having fun around town. Usually, if you pay with a big bill like a $20 bill, especially early in the morning, they won’t have any change or you will get your change in Pesos. They do accept Visa and Master Card at most businesses in San Carlos, including the Pemex gas station. Remember, many places give you a receipt in Pesos, so please don’t think you paid $600 for 4 people to eat dinner. You paid $600 Pesos which is $60 dollars.

What should we do if we have car trouble on the highway?

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

The road to Guaymas - San Carlos, highway #15, is well known to have the wonderful Green Angels looking out for your well being. Green Angels (Angeles Verdes) are traveling mechanics that will help motorist in distress. They drive green and white pickup trucks. They may have to charge a small fee if a part is needed, but they will not charge you if no parts are needed and the repair can be made. Tips are always welcome, and a very kind gesture for such great service.

How much liquor or shrimp can we bring back to the US ?

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

You are allowed 10 pounds of Shrimp or Fish, and 1 Liter of alcohol per person. Remember, if you are returning to the US, and you buy any alcohol at the Duty Free store next to Mota’s Transport, you have to take the purchase and walk to the US Border Office across the street, enter the building to answer a quick question, and then return to your vehicle for the ride home.
