Welcome to August! Despite everything that has been going on over the past several months, this year does seem to be going by very fast. They all do these days, but this is the first time that it seems kind of OK to just let it go, move on and get things back to normal. The weather has been pretty hot, as can be expected during this time of year, and the humidity has been up and down, but overall it has been pretty decent. August usually brings in a bit more humidity and makes it that much more important to stay in the pool, the ocean, or the AC while enjoying your time here.
The good news there is that you CAN get into the ocean, the pool, or the AC while enjoying your time here. The latest round of protocols have opened beaches and the ocean to use again- with restrictions, of course. There are several other changes that will continue to open up entertainment options on the table again as well, but you'll need to read on in order to see the list of options and the restrictions that obviously need to go along with them.
Things have been pretty quiet since tourists and owners have been able to come back to town, but there has been a steady flow of people and those who have been here, certainly received special treatment, as they were considered the returning royalty that will bring this town back to life again. Now that the beaches are open, we do expect things to pick up more and more until, hopefully soon, this virus will just be a bad memory as life here gets back to the wonderful normal that so many have learned to love.
If you can, please try to visit in the near future, both so that you can relax and unwind in this beautiful setting, but also to help support the local businesses, citizens, and to help bring us back to the thriving vacation paradise that we were just a few months ago, and will be again in the very near future. Of course, it is impossible to overstate the importance of following all health, hygiene, and safety protocols put in place by the city administration. And, please, always use common sense and be nice to your fellow humans.
Enjoy this beautiful month, come to Rocky Point if you can, and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. Let me put my experience and expertise to work for you, and re member, as always, I've been here full-time for 13 years and I am more than happy to help you with whatever you need, whether Sonoran Resorts related or not.

The mayor of Puerto Peñasco highlighted that, in this way, this municipality remains the only one in Sonora with a Sustainable Clean Beach accreditation and now, with the Blue Flag Badge, it is also the first in the state to gain that honor.
He announced that on the Second Meeting of the Blue Flag National Jury, a selection process where the sites that are part of the Blue Flag Program for the 2020-2021 Season were announced, Peñasco was fully approved for the area that had been applied for.

Puerto Peñasco, he explained, was one of the 66 applications submitted, of which 63 beaches, three marinas and 25 sustainable tourism systems, met the requirements to hold the Blue Flag badge.
The Mayor notified that both a national jury - made up of the secretariats of Tourism, Health, Environment, Navy and SCT, in addition to the Cofepris, Profepa, Conagua and other organizations and dependencies - and an international jury analyzed the candidates and gave their votes.
"The sites that obtained the Blue Flag Distinction did so officially as of July 1, for public information purposes, the date on which the Blue Flag Season traditionally begins," he explained.
Along with this good news, he said, in Peñasco the beaches will open on August 1, as agreed, so it will have to start with compliance with the 33 established criteria and with the installation of official infrastructure of a lifeguard tower, information kiosk, ramp for people with disabilities, flagpole and others; in addition to guaranteeing water quality, constant cleaning, an environmental education program, among other aspects.
"This is being controlled by constant monitoring at the Blue Flag site, in anticipation for the protocol event of officially raising the flag in August," he said.
Kiko Munro reiterated that the opening of the beaches are being be done according to the dates and following the protocols dictated by the Ministry of Health.
He stressed that Blue Flag is an international certification to coastal destinations in environmental management, safety, services, education activities and water quality. This once again confirms the progress made and the quality of the beaches that make Puerto Penasco the best tourist destination in Northwest Mexico.
He also made note of the great accomplishment in which the Clean Beach Certified area of Sandy Beach was expanded to 1,791 linear meters, a certification which prompted him to seek and earn other accreditations such as the "Blue Flag" in the El Mirador area in an effort to continue to always make Peñasco ever more attractive for tourism and investment.
The Mayor of Peñasco thanked and congratulated all the members who make up the Municipal Committee of Clean Beaches, since with teamwork between the Government and the Puerto Peñasco Society, it continues to take steps forward.
Kiko Munro pointed out that, with achievements such as the Certification of Beaches, the official recognition as a whale watching site and others, Puerto Peñasco is no longer the best kept secret and will continue to become an area of opportunity for the world as little by little Peñasco goes from being a destination with potential to truly being a power.

Exports Soared 76% in June after 2 Months of Historic Declines
Mexico recorded its biggest ever trade surplus as exports exceeded imports by US $5.5 billion
Mexico's exports surged 75.6% in June compared to the previous month, the national statistics agency Inegi reported.
Buoyed by the reopening of the United States economy, especially its industrial sector, Mexico's exports totaled US $31.68 billion last month.
The 75.6% seasonally adjusted increase, a month-over-month record, came after historic declines in exports were recorded in both April and May.
Automotive industry exports soared 534% in June compared to May as the sector resumed activities following the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. Exports of manufactured goods more broadly rose 40.9% while agricultural exports increased 32%.
However, the value of oil exports fell 36% in June compared to May, Ingei said.
The overall strong growth in exports, and a 22% annual decline in imports due to a weak, coronavirus-battered domestic economy, allowed Mexico to post its biggest ever trade surplus in June.
Mexico's exports were worth $5.55 billion more than its imports in June, Inegi reported. The surplus represents a $9-billion turnaround compared to May when Mexico recorded a $3.52-billion trade deficit.
The May surplus was higher than that predicted by all 11 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Their median forecast was a surplus of $1.55 billion.
James Salazar, an analyst at CI Banco, said the June recovery in exports was expected but noted that their value was still below pre-pandemic levels. The value of exports last month was 12.8% lower than in June 2019.
Salazar said the month-over-month increase was largely driven by increased demand in the United States.
Alberto Ramos, chief Latin America economist at Goldman Sachs, predicted that the recovery of demand in the United States will continue to boost Mexican exports, while "imports are expected to remain subdued given the weak domestic demand."
Andrés Abadía, senior economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the combination of a competitive peso - currently 22 to the US dollar - and growing demand for imports from the United States industrial sector "will support exports in the short term."

The Problem with Predicting Exchange Rates
In recent years, one of the hardest things to predict has been the Mexican peso/US dollar exchange rate. Mexico's peso is a free-floating currency on world foreign exchange markets; it's among the world's top-10 most-traded currencies, and is the most-traded of Latin America's currencies.
The peso-dollar exchange rate remained reasonably stable in 2019, despite a lack of economic growth and a lot of noise in the news about the financial difficulties of the state-owned oil company Pemex, which could also cause problems for the government's international credit ratings.
The lowest the dollar fell against the peso was about $18.75, and the highest rate was $20.15 pesos per dollar, making it the smallest range between minimum and maximum rates in 10 years. The exchange rate at the end of 2019 closed at $18.90 pesos per dollar; when in 2018 it closed at $19.66. The average daily exchange rate in 2019 was $19.26 pesos to the dollar, compared with an average daily exchange rate of $19.24 in 2018: when measured using a daily average, data show that Mexico's pesos has remained remarkably stable over the last 24 months.
Several things helped to make the peso one of the best-performing currencies against the US dollar in 2019. The government made efforts to keep to its budget deficit targets, even when this meant holding back some spending to avoid having to take on new debt. Tax revenue was less than expected because the economy didn't grow.
The Bank of Mexico started cutting interest rates, but these remain relatively high and encourage buying of peso-denominated government bonds by investors seeking returns on their money. Other sources of dollar income -including international travelers and remittances from Mexicans abroad- increased despite the economic stagnation in Mexico, and the trade balance was positive, i.e., Mexico exported more goods than in imported.
The peso got off to a good start in 2020, with the wholesale exchange rate trading down to around $18.50 pesos to the dollar in mid-February. A poll of private economists, taken in December 2019, revealed that the peso/dollar exchange rate was expected to end this year at around 20 pesos to the dollar. Economists' forecasts reflect what could be expected given estimates for inflation, economic growth, interest rates and other economic variables, both in Mexico and the U.S., but they don't take into account extraordinary events as these are basically unknowns.
Currency exchange rate predictions are often based on what economists call "fundamentals" -which include things like the country's debt payments as a percentage of GDP, its trade balance (Mexico tends to have very small trade deficits), the rate of inflation, economic growth, etc.- but global economic and political events in particular have a tendency to sideswipe economists' logic.
A practical example of how unforeseen events can cause abrupt changes to market values is the emergence of, and unfurling news about, the Coronavirus across the world: the event has created conspicuous fluctuations in values between the Mexican peso and the US dollar, as well as other currencies.
What most people want to know is what the exchange rate will do next, and here the Spanish expression "no tiene palabra," or "it can't be trusted," is relevant. The safest answer to this question is to say that most year-out forecasts are usually wrong-probably more a matter of random error than ineptitude: a banker once described currency forecasting as "a mug's game."

Mexican Cell Phones: Unlimited Calling Plans for North America
When new laws came into effect on January 2015 to shake-up Mexico's telecommunication market, fixed-line all charges dropped sharply from residential telephones. The reforms caused Mexican landline telephone charges to go from being among the most expensive in the world, to among the cheapest.
Since then, the Mexican cellular telephone market has been undergoing some major reforms too, and you can now elect to buy a plan that, for a modest monthly fee, gives unlimited calling and SMS messages to all phones across Mexico, the United States, and Canada-and you can also use the mobile data included in your plan across all three countries without any data roaming costs. These "unlimited" deals are also available on pay-as-you-go monthly plans: there is no need to sign a long term contract.
By way of example: AT&T, Telcel, Movistar and Virgin Mobile currently offer a month-to-month plans (no contract) for MXN$200 pesos (US$9) that includes unlimited call minutes and SMS messages across North America (Mexico, the US and Canada), and at least 2 GB of data. Unlimited use of data across Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp is also included in these plans. Visit the websites of the mobile operators to learn about these new unlimited plans which offer good value for money.
Plans last for 30 days and can be renewed or not, as you wish: automatic renewal can be set-up, or you can renew manually at the end of each 30-day billing period. If you don't renew the plan, your tariff reverts to a peso-per-minute (or per-MB) rate. If you use up all your data quota before the 30 days, you can pay-per-MB until the plan's renewal date, or re-initiate your plan for an additional 30 days starting on the (earlier) date of the renewal.
If you prefer a cellphone contract, you can sign-up for a year or more and get a plan that includes a phone, unlimited minutes and set amounts of data each month (depending on the contract). These plans will tether (lock) the phone to the network operator you have a contract with.
When lower residential phone line tariffs came into force at beginning of 2015, many people didn't believe it was true until they started getting their first phone bills that year and saw that calls to Mexican cell phone and long distance calls across the country -and the world- were being charged at zero rates, all included in the monthly plan, which also includes fixed-line high-speed internet.
Now with the Mexican cellular market offering great deals on no-contract "pay-as-you-go" plans, Mexico is one of the least expensive countries in the world to own and use a mobile phone: staying in touch with friends, family, and business contacts on the move in Mexico and when roaming with a Mexican cell phone in the United States and Canada has never been easier and less expensive than it is today.

Love Spice, but oh, the Pain... Science Tells You How to Calm the Burning
Spicy food is a favorite of many. What would become of Mexicans without spicy food? According to statistics, a Mexican consumes 15 kg of chilies a year, it is the highest average consumption in the world. The unique and delicious flavor of the spicy has a drawback, that sensation of fire in the mouth that apparently there is no relief, accompanied by tearing, sweating and an "enjoyable" despair. If this happens to you ... Science tells you how to calm the burning.
A study by the New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute mentions that the best way to eliminate the "fire" caused by eating chili is to drink milk.
Capsaicin is a chemical present in all chili peppers. This substance is responsible for the characteristic itching. When we drink milk, casein, a protein from dairy, replaces the capsaicin receptors on the tongue, quickly and effectively relieving the burning sensation in the mouth. Cream, ice cream or yogurt also works.
Scientists explain that capsaicin binds to receptors on the tongue and sends a signal to the brain, the same signal that is sent when we touch something hot, causing perspiration.
What else works?
In addition to dairy, carbohydrates (bread, sugar) can also replace capsaicin receptors, but they are not as effective as milk. Sugar is usually more effective than bread.
Instinctively, when we eat something spicy, we run for water and drink it hungrily, however all we are doing is rinsing the capsaicin and spreading it throughout the mouth. Water does not block capsaicin.
Fun facts
Chili peppers are native to South America and it is believed that their seeds were spread by birds, since these animals do not have capsaicin receptors on their tongues.
The first humans of approximately 15,000 years ago, began to grow chili peppers giving rise to a great variety that has evolved into the chilies that we know today.
Which chili is hotter: red or green ?: It depends on the variety, but generally, according to its composition, red chilies tend to be less spicy because they contain more sugars that help to counteract itching.

Chilate de Pollo (Chicken in a Spicy Guajillo Broth)
Chilate de pollo
, from the state of Guerrero, Mexico, is a kind of spicy chicken soup that is known for its burn. To the chicken is added chile de árbol or guajillo chilli, onion, and garlic, as well as corn dough to make the soup thick like a stew. The level of heat depends on the amount and level of spice in the chillies used, but this dish is generally known to be spicy, and even the fresh tortillas you will get to go with it won't be enough to cool your tongue. Get ready to sweat.
The fiery red color indicates that it's going to be spicy, and it usually is. To prepare a mild version, you could add a couple more guajillos and take out the chile de arbol and pequin. Either way you serve it, it's delicious. It is often served with crumbled queso fresco and tortilla.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon dried epazote
1 Tablespoon Mexican oregano
1/2 Tablespoon cumin seeds
1/2 Tablespoon peppercorns
1/2 Tablespoon chiles pequin (opional)
10 Guajillo peppers (stems and seeds removed)
10 Chiles de arbol (stems removed)
2 Tomatillos
3 Roma Tomatoes
2 Pounds checken pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
2 Bay leaves
1 Cup white onion diced
4 Cloves minced garlic
4 1/2 Cups chicken broth
1/4 Cup chopped cilantro
Directions:
Combine the epazote, oregano, cumin seeds, peppercorns and chile pequin to a mortar and crush with pestle. It will be slightly coarse; set aside.
Add the guajillos, chile de arbol, tomatoes and tomatillos to a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the liquid and transfer to the blender. Blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Preheat 1/8 cup of olive oil to medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and brown for 5 minutes per side.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot of chicken. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the bay leaves, chicken broth and cilantro. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer. Strain the chile sauce into the pot of chicken using a wire mesh strainer. Add the crushed spices. Cover and continue cooking at a simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese and green onions. Serve with a side of beans and warm tortillas.

It's Urgent that You Wait
Mexican Spanish is versatile when it comes to questions of time
Spanish words ending in "ito" or "ita" are diminutive: indicating a smaller version of the noun in question. Diminutives are also used as a form of euphemism, especially for guilty pleasures. A dieter may go for "taquitos" rather than tacos, or round off a meal with a "pastelito" instead of pastel, while a drinker could order a "cubita" (a little rum and coke) if it looks a bit early for a cuba, or open the appetite with a "tequilita."
An exception to this rule is "ahorita"-at least as it is often used in Mexico. As the diminutive of "ahora" -now- technically it should mean "right now," as in "ahora mismo," insofar as it suggests that less time ought to elapse between the promise and the fulfillment.
But things don't necessarily work like that. To start with, Mexico isn't particularly demanding about punctuality. Although timely arrivals are regarded as a virtue, excuses for tardiness are often treated with indulgence, especially if traffic is involved. So "ahorita voy," means I'm on my way -or soon will be- but gives no fixed time.
A parent giving a child orders to clean their room, or get in off the street, would usually say "ahora" to mean right now, whereas "ahorita" could mean don't be too long about it. If the order is for this very second, the second-degree diminutive -ahoritita- may be used, leaving no doubt as to the urgency.
Other forceful options for right away, or at once, are "de inmediato," or "en este instante."
"En seguida" can also mean now, but is more like forthwith, suggesting it could be the next thing on the list, or to be done immediately.
"Ahora" also has its shades of meaning. If your plumber says he will come round "ahora" -ahora voy- to fix your dripping tap, it usually refers to "today," not that particular moment.
Native English speakers occasionally use "when" if asking what time someone will arrive or something is scheduled. This doesn't work in Mexico. "¿Cuándo?" will be understood to refer to the day, the week, the month, or the year, but not the time. For this you have to be specific: "¿a qué hora?"
Of course, the answer could be "ahorita" and you'll be back where you started.
"Ya mero" is another versatile expression meaning soon-which can mean any second now, any minute now, or even any day now. In this case the diminutive "ya merito" suggests that the undefined time will be shorter than the undefined time in "ya mero."
The word for "then" -luego- contains a twist of its own in Mexico when the word is said twice. If someone completed a task or request in short order, they are said to have done so "luego luego" -fui al mecánico y luego luego me atendió- means the person was attended to immediately.
