Dollar/peso
 

Don't know if you folks watch the currency exchange rates but the strength of the dollar is certainly being reflected in the dollar/pesos exchange. The dollar/pesos rate closed at 15.59 yesterday, which is up more than 15% in the past 6 weeks. Now you need to exchange a lot of money at the right place to get that rate but what it means in real terms is that your dollar goes a lot further down here right now than I can remember. Fuel prices are less than most of the US, certainly less than CA. Typical hotel room price of 450 pesos costs you $33 six weeks ago now costs about $29. Come on down and take advantage of it.

Just another simple example. I went to a local restaurant last night, which happens to be owned by the caretaker of my house. I had 3 fish tacos (I know what you are saying "You BOUGHT fish?") rice and beans, and 2 Pacifico's and it came to 140 pesos. $9.03 at today's rate. $10.86 six weeks ago.

Over 15:1 wow. Did you see that at any fuel stations. I think gas was 13:1 last year when I was down. That's great news for Baja travelers.

How many Pacificos can I get with $37. (US) ??

They're free if you know the right door to knock on.

We are going on a road trip . :grouphug:

I am looking forward to going down there again this year.

Are you interested in coming to Abreojos with us?

Still undecided about Abreojos. I actually took an exploratory trip down there today. Took the coast road down through La Bocana and took the blacktop home through Vizcayno. Not really my type of fishing but I might spend a day or two after you guys find the fish. Not a very esthetically pleasing area.

Id definitely prefer the Abre reefs over the esteros, myself.

Has Nico learned how to get up on the roof yet and bark in Spanish?
