Baja 1/11/11












I thought today I would show you that life isn't all just play and fun! We have to shop, stand in line, pay our bills and show the newbies the sights! Some of these photos show our shopping - the vendor and his wife come into the park, set up table, calculator, and boxes of great produce, fresh eggs, home made tortillas and tamales... yummy. We customers line up, make our choices, get it weighed, and pay our bills. It is also a time to catch up on what other folks here are doing, what they are cooking etc. They come about noon on Saturday, I am sure to be here when they come... much better fruits and veggies than we can get in town at the market. Yesterday we took Roger's brother Mike and his wife Elaine up the arroyos; we were able to drive very close to the waterfall in San Antonio arroyo. We were busy taking photos and getting our feet wet. There was more water here today than when we were here with Danny and Linda in December.
Los Barriles is all geared up for a big wind surf/kite surfing weekend; big international competition for both types of crafts. The main events will be south of our park, but we can look down the beach and see quite a bit; and a walk down the beach to get into the full event is easy. Today (Wednesday) many surfers are out on the water and the free beach north of us is pretty full of both participants, wannabes, and watchers. We are lucky to have such a grand spot to see it all. Well, I guess that makes it sound like another day in paradise.... I will work hard to get some photos of these wonderful colorful kites and sailboards.
Happy trails....
