Crocodile awareness in Mexico
6-year-old boy remains in critical condition after suffering an attack from a three-meter crocodile near El Palmar Beach in Ixtapa on Tuesday afternoon.
The crocodile dragged the boy under the water and held him below the surface for roughly 10 minutes, the child suffered a number of bites on the head, arms, chest and legs.
The local boy, from the municipality of Zihuatanejo, wandered away from his parents on the beach with his sister. According to a Mexico News Daily report, the pair explored a nearby estuary, next to the Pacifica Resort, which has a fenced off area and a bridge above it. It's a known hotspot for crocodiles.
Had a friend lose dog to crocs in Mexico. We have had them on the beach once that I know of in LDM.

RE: What will Canadians fo this fall/winter
We are staying put until there is a vaccine available. I have a few Canadian friends that are making different plans for the winter other than heading to Mexico.
We are heeding all safety precautions whether the border opens or not.
Be safe!

RE: Covid-19 in Guerrero
I know you can’t believe everything you read.
Today’s LA Times:
Mexico 142,000 cases reported.
16,000 deaths reported.
1 in 5 cases involve health care workers due to lack of PPE.
Article states that only one third of cases and deaths are actually reported, jumping cases and deaths three fold.

RE: Covid-19 in Guerrero
All the data unfortunately can not be trusted coming out of Mexico. Many people are dying at home and are not being counted.
PPE is lacking for all the health workers and many have contacted the virus. Border cities are being hit really hard.
Personally I would take any statistics with a grain of salt.

RE: No Corona
Corona beer is the most popular beer in the world including the United States. We have traveled Europe, Central, South America, Canada and have always found Corona beer sold.
The dinosaurs are still on the label and Corona bottle labels are imprinted into the glass.It became a pilsner beer in 1925 in Mexico brewed by German immigrants.
In 1976 Grupo Modelo started exporting Corona to the U.S.
By the way its not my favorite beer but it is the beer I drink most in Mexico and home I have a 12 pk in fridgerator now, won't last long.
Stay thirsty My friend!

RE: Shooting in Manzanillo Colima
Couple of corrections. Evening news said it was restaurant Huachinango not tiburón. We left so quickly got the name confused with another restaurant. Also lady shot in leg was an employee other person shot was the owner. Neither fatal wounds.
Guessing but sounds like a warning.

Shooting in Manzanillo Colima
Just left restaurant El Tiburón in La boquita beach. Passed by and decided that was the restaurant for us. Made a u turn and arrived. Got out of our vehicle and people we’re scattering. Six Policía Municipal arrived sirens blaring. Heard people standing yelling they need an ambulance. We were going in to restaurant and they were carrying a lady out. She was shot in the leg. Bystander.
Police sealed the crime seen with tape nobody out or in. They were investigating the crime scene. Spoke with one officer he told me that the shooters left and they were in pursuit. One of them was shot in shoulder. We were allowed to leave and we are now at Playa Las Brisa recovering from the scare.
Second time in Mexico we have missed a shootout in Mexico. We do it go to places we feel are dangerous. We must have someone looking down on us.
I will say the police were very profesional,efficient and courteous.

RE: Four Questions
Cruz maria is full. Most parks here have sites available but changes daily. Getting very popular here
And three toll booths on our way south the locals threw up barricades and would not let you pass unless you paid their asking price which was posted on a cardboard sign.

RE: Shaw Satellite
Hi Rob,
I see you and Jean made it down already.
I have a 75cm dish I am going to use. Whats confusing to me is the (new) LNB I find on Ebay say
"New Shaw Triple Satellite Quad Output Switchable xKu LNB for 60E DISH LNB " Or 75E dish.
So I guess 75E would be my need?
The receiver I have was used two years ago and has been updated, so I think I'm good with receiver.

Shaw Satellite
Hi,
It's been a few years since I have had to use my Shaw satellite dish, sharing with my Canadian buddies I travel with. Unfortunately they will not be making it this year. I will set my dish up but I understand I need a newer style LNB. Would like to order on line but need to know exactly which one.
Help will be appreciated!
Thanks
Chuck

RE: I need 2 tires
If you can't find someone to bring them down you might consider replacing all four rear tires with Mexican ones. It might even be less expensive.

RE: Ripped off at Chevron
I had that happen once. But I always ask for the exact amount like $2,000. pesos and I come out of RV with that amount. He pulled that with the help of an accomplice. He got my attention just as I handed the attendant the $2,000.00 the other guy got me to turn my head and then the attendant said senior your $450.00 pesos short.
I laughed at him, and speaking Spanish I told him I had counted the money previously. He insisted, I made him empty his pockets and there was a crumpled $500.00 peso, he got my wrath and our fellow RVers who spoke Spanish read him the riot act!
Senor mi culpa perdoname por favor.
Best case count your pesos out to the attendant this will stop this scam, but I have caught them at other scams.
Se intelegente amigos.

RE: AT&T just came out with a deal on cells that work in mexico
My Verizon plan lets me use all my data 18g and unlimited calls and txt to from Mexico Canada U.S. I have had the plan for years.
Works great in Mexico off of local phone companies. Telcell and Moviestar. I think it added a $10.00 cost to my plan monthly.
