January 15, 2016 – Well, the rain is now a distant memory, and with spirits held high, we saunter bravely into the warmth of Baja California Sur.
Time change please, as the group mimics perfect parking technique at Malarimmo’s RV Park in Guerrero Negro, I realize that perhaps I’m just in the way! I’ll just have a beer instead. All setup and off we go to Tony’s Taco stand….. He’s out of batter and by the time I drive up, the group is ready to mutiny! Never fear, in just a trice new batter is out and fish tacos are flying out of the hot oil and into the hungry hands of our intrepid explorers. It’s great, but there were no Camaronnes left for those with a need for prawn.
Some completely satisfied, and some hungry for the shrimp tacos, we nevertheless wandered purposefully down to the Casino/Market for a bit of shopping in the the renovated store. Lots of stuff bought, much wondering just what is was.
Rye Bread! a first for Guerroro Negro I’m sure. I bought the last 2 loaves of that!
Dinner out with the group at the on site restaurant was a hit for all. Good food, good company, good times.
The whale tour was special as it usually is; in January new borns and matings can be seen.
Soon enough Guerrero Negro is a distant memory, and the fabulous Rice&Beans Margaritas beckon. One of the best places on Baja for margaritas, and Oswaldo didn’t disappoint us at all. Good food, great margaritas. Same crew: what a blast!
San Ignacio is it’s usual sleepy self. Date cake, date shakes, lovely town square.
Mulege came, and it’s beach time. Downtime and a bit windy the first day. Second day was as nearly perfect as Santispac had ever offered: not too hot, just right for kayaking and paddle boarding. Dan inflated his Hobie kayak and showed us just how fast they can be!
It turns up that tons of wood was just waiting for us to relocate it. At a secret location along the way. Motorhomes and trucks bulged with the beach booty.
Wind greeted us on Santispac, but fun was all around anyway. Dan got his Hobie kayak inflated and proved that the pedal drive was way faster than paddling, any day.
Loreto showed us all just what a nice town it really is. A cruise ship was just leaving as we arrived, but the streets were very clean, and the locals happy and accommodating. A quick trip up the mountain for some glorious views and to look at the ancient Mission of San Javier. It couldn’t have been a better day’s outing. Del Borracho’s found us good burgers and fries, and BEER! What could be better for those travellers who prefer their food with a moo rather than a splash, or a cluck.
Diane made me promise to include the following photo of all the girls working hard on the laundry, so here it is:
Ubaldo and Giggling Dolphin put on a good meal, and the music from our usual trio was very entertaining, as ever.
Oh yes, in case you forgot who you were, here’s the crew:
