[cool]Hi, myu. Yes, those are older pictures, scanned from print film. But, the water is a beautiful turquoise color that is difficult to capture on film. It is best to experience it, in person, for the full beauty. Would you care to join me there?
And, yes, it has been far too long since I have been to those locations. There have been some changes in the tourist laws, and there are sometimes political and criminal problems. The government of Mexico makes it extremely difficult for the average person to drive into their country at a reasonable price. And, because of the poor economy, there are many bandits who target tourists. They rob them or beat them up...or even kill them and steal everything they have. That has increased a great deal along the beaches in Sonora...especially in the remote areas I used to drive my 4-wheel drive vehicle.
There are other areas closer to my home in Arizona that are still easy to get to and with little of the problems of traveling farther into Mexico. The fishing is still good, but it is not as peaceful with so many other people from the United States down there to just have a big party.
