With the election happing this weekend, I was hoping to stop in for the Saturday night "Pig Roast"..
Diana confirmed they will be allowed to sell alcohol to their guests..
Just hope the winds come down..
:cool:

Some recent Serinadad photos for you, La Tijereta.

Pompano - 2-3-2011 at 10:53 AM

I took these at the Serinadad in Nov and Dec, 2010. (Except for one really old one..)






Alex! Where the heck are you? I'm so dry, I'm a fire hazard...





Nicely appointed, the Serinadad changes it decor almost yearly. Here Don is guiding some visitors around his legendary resort.




This one below has Don Johnson's back next to the fireplace. I wanted to stage a certain photo scene and he was helping to arrange the set.



This one is the reason...a 'before and after photo'....A photo of the fireplace and us back in 1976. Wow..long hair and some crazy shirt, eh? I remember asking my blonde date how tall she was..she had a cute answer..."I'm 5'12"



Enjoy the Saturday Pig Roast...may see you there.

Roger, your great photos brought back some pleasant memories. But, I have to report when last we stayed there, a couple of years ago, despite the beautiful, warm and inviting public spaces, the hotel rooms were quite long in the tooth.

Are you mixing up your co-pilots in photo #3 ??
I believe that is was the 2008 model. :?: :tumble:

BajaRat - 2-3-2011 at 05:29 PM

Thanks, the photos are great!

bajalera - 2-3-2011 at 06:01 PM

Pompano, did you know Day V. Jones?

LaTijereta - 2-4-2011 at 06:36 PM

Roger.. Looks like you need to update your images to show some guests enjoying a "nice roast pork" dinner:light:

I have always enjoyed the the Serenidad decor and patio area... May get a chance to enjoy that fireplace if stays cool Saturday night..

Long in the tooth for sure but Last August 105º outside-68º inside.

Yes... what's going on here?

Alex quit and runs the old mesquite now, right?
or did he go back to Don's?

I was sleeping at the wheel again....

I must be missing a lot of news here and else where. Will someone here explain to me this no drinking stuff on Sundays? Is it for the election only or....Txs

woody with a view - 2-5-2011 at 10:47 AM

elections in mexico are dry.

TMW - 2-5-2011 at 11:14 AM

There are exceptions in Baja if they can show a loss of business or something like that. The law was changed in the past couple of years.

Being from south of the Mason-Dixon line, I appreciate good BBQ. Nothing beats a plate full of BBQ'ed pork except a bigger plate of BBQ'ed pork. Have put more than one "pig in the ground". :yes:

He was at the Mesquite last October.

mulegemichael - 2-5-2011 at 07:12 PM

there will be no alcohol sales here in mulege....ALL of the local establisments have been notified...hoard all you have!!!!...really...alll of the super bowl games have been put on STOP...too bad...it's like i have some say in this whole process and might vote irrationally ....please....

capt. mike - 2-6-2011 at 07:22 AM

Michael - last year and several others when i was at mi palapa Diana told us she had a "pass" and we could be served IF we were guests - some loop hole because she ran a hotel - and also something about it only applied for non mexican citizenry.

seemed reasonable since tourism needs support and as non voters we had no impact on the outcome.

but yeah....it's mexico - who really knows the rules??

Pompano - 2-6-2011 at 08:46 AM

La Tijereta..unfortunately, I haven't gone to a pork feed at Don's for a while..been gone or otherwise occupied. The photos are very recent, though (except for the fireplace foursome..that's pretty dated.) The Sat. nite pig feed is not as popular as it once was years ago...competition, weather, economy, changes in attitudes and latitudes, etc. hopefully, this will turn around for the old gal.


Alex...The Mesquite Bar is not open at this time. Alejendro/Alex may be waiting for global warming, more tourists, manna from heaven, who knows. Sitting in a cold, empty bar staring at the tv can't be much fun.


Long in the tooth rooms? Not really, they will do quite well compared to lots of other places. Hell, they're over a half-century old and the Johnson's have had to fight many battles to stay afloat. I know a little about huge expenses refitting/furbishing compounds and multiple rooms. Be glad they are open at all..sheesh. This fly-in resort is a true Baja legend and would be sorely missed by Baja lovers.

bajalera...I have a very good memory so I can say with certainty: I may have known Dav Y Jones..maybe not. It all depends on which agency is looking.

Diver and marc..I don't have a clue as to what you mean...? You are obviously dillusional.

Elections and drinking....Our Super Bowl party today will be WET..as usual.
My coffin cooler is stocked/iced daily. I really don't care if alchole..alchahole..alhcohel....booze is served anywhere or not.

mulegemichael - 2-6-2011 at 08:47 AM

dunno about the "guest" deal but i do know that bart at the jungla and scottie at el candil were put on notice yesterday that they WILL NOT sell alcohol today by the authorities...that's after they sold tons of tickets to their respective super bowl parties....looks like i'll have to stay here at mi casa with our big ol flatscreen...seems to me there's still some booze in the locker

Hey..Happy Belated ..(or is Deleted)...Birthday Mike!

Dunno is you nomads all know it, but Mike had a birthday yesterday. He just turned 24 ..or 44..or ?

(Hope the new lure works magic for you.)

tripledigitken - 2-6-2011 at 09:06 AM

Is this a new law, or is it just the coincidence in the timing of the Super Bowl and the election?

I say this because, one year after fishing in Cabo San Lucas, we got back at about noon, and watched the Super Bowl in the Whale Watch Bar that afternoon. Consuming adult beverages without restriction. (Saw whales too.):cool:

mulegemichael - 2-6-2011 at 09:43 AM

just a coincidence is all
