Baja-Las Barriles 1/24/10

Arrived yesterday in Las Barriles after a short ride from Cabo San Lucas. We are now settled in our site for the winter. Roger has the screens up, the tent and carpet down. I've included a couple of photos of our site so you get an idea of where we are. Most of the rest of the tour are only staying 3 more days here, and are in the caravan section of the park. We met the owner of this park just as he was leaving for the states. Very nice gentleman who wanted to assure us his staff knew we were there for the season and to let him know when our stay was over. We've seen only one other rv tour on this trip, and that one pulled in just as we were leaving Cabo and it was only about 9 rigs. All the Mexicans are very glad we are here as there are few tourists. I must say tho that there are quite a few gringos here in Las Barriles, one of whom gave us a good tip for lunch today!

It was windy yesterday and all the wind surfers and kite surfers were out in the bay, right in front of our rig! Today is much calmer and there is only one sailboat out now. The photo of Roger and I standing along the wall was taken at an overlook of San Jose del Cabo. Just gorgeous country, water, and beaches. We are getting brown as berries. Nights are very comfortable, and we sometimes need a real shirt at the happy hours. Las Barriles is a very small town, two main streets and some big villas along the beach front. But all the beach is accessible, and Roger took a spin out thru one of the arroyos to the beach after lunch. Got to see how the rich folks live, except that many of the places had for rent signs on them... again very few tourists here this year. Well, off to enjoy the light breezes today, who knows what tomorrow will bring....

happy trails...
