April 7, 2013 News!

Well, here it is April in Baja.  We are surprised to report that we've bought an RV site in the East Cape RV park in Los Barriles!  We also bought a 2010 34 ft. 5th Wheel to park there.  In the photos here the furniture and motorhome belong to the current renter.  Our 5th wheel will be moved onto the site on Wed., 4/10.  The frame you see is called palo de arco. which is a type of wood and type of building that is used a lot here.  The whole structure was pressure washed, cleaned, sprayed and stained in just the last couple of days.  It looks great!!  Beside the parking spot, there is a small building called a bodega which includes a cement building which houses a toilet, shower and plumbing for washer and dryer and well as room for storage shelves or whatever.  I am thinking washing machine!  The outdoor kitchen attached to the bodega has a new gas 6 burner stove, double sink, a bar extention and lots of counter space.  We've bought 6 typical patio chairs and a coffee table and side table.  We will also buy a 6 ft. table for eating/etc.  When we return in the fall we will bring our 'extras' from AZ etc to round out our furnishings.  Then we can decide what else we need to feel at home.  This park has a pool and spa, has lots of activities and is only about 300 yds from the beach.  It is literally right down town in Los Barriles and we can walk everywhere -well, we'll take the quad to buy groceries and maybe carry our lunch to the beach!  This moves surprises us - we'd said "never buy again", and yet the urge was too great!  Now we don't have to worry about a different place to rent each winter; we can leave our 'stuff' here and find it when we return.  It is possible that sometime in the future we will just fly down and not even make the drive as we do now.  The biggest selling point though, was the location and amenities in the park.  I had to include the photo of my latest tee shirt... pretty well says it all!  So remember to live your dreams... and happy trails...
