What's wrong with that? many Mexicans have made those 2-5 day walks to reach the tunnels going under the border into the US.

I think it's a good idea it may just keep some of the Wine Snobs off the highway.

Let's see who understands this Spanish wordplay on the proposed Valle de Guadalupe development.

Any wagers on which development is first to open?
A) Eldrick's Punta Brava(aka Campo Elin)
B) Pellagio(aka Rancho Olivares)
?

They even stole the logo. I guess the "P" stands for plagiarized




Pellagio is ultimate Valle de Guadalupe hotel experience. Make your luxury hotel reservations at the home of the famous dancing fountains, award-winning fine dinning

Hmmmmm, that sweetens the proposal a bit
