WiFi again, so a quick update. We've made it to Guerrero Negro today, just had fish & shrimp tacos & orange ice cream! Our journey has taken us thru Rosario, where we had lobster burritios at Mama Esponitos, then into the land of boojum trees - cirio cacti that resemble an upside down carrot with orange fluff at the top - very strange indeed. Catavina, where there are huge hills of boulders, surrounded by many different cacti, great for more pictures. So far we have only seen 1 dead cow on the side of the road, no auto accidents, thank goodness. The road continues to change - from narrow to actually quite like home, but then quickly back to crap! We measured the lane - 9ft 2 in. We spent 3 lovely nights at Bahai de Los Angeles - facing the Sea of Cortez, with sunrise out our front window. We watched pelicans diving for fish, picked sea shells & met some interesting folks.
The highlight this week has definitely been fishing for halibut off shore - out at sunrise, temp up to 27 by 9:30. Yesterday Robin caught 4 puffer fish, unfortunately toxic (lucky we found this out in time!) Then I caught 2 halibut, today Robin caught another halibut. We have eaten some, delicious! We also were lucky enough to see a group of dolphins swim by.
We have been thru 3 military check points, today they actually came in & searched. We are off to Bahai de Conception probably tomorrow - this is where the real beach camping happens, but likely no WiFi. Will catch up after that.
Hi Robin & Karen
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you. Everything sounds so tasty and interesting. Didn't know there was lobster on the west coast and thought halibut was only a deep water fish. Was looking at it the other day to add to my fish chowder but one little piece was about $9.00, and to think it is caught only one and a half hours away, anyway my fish chowder was fishless. So enjoy every bite. Had another dump of snow the other day then lost 50% of it due to rain. One more month and the days start getting longer and 4 more months and the planting begins. Yahoo. Safe travels. PAT
Thank you for the ecard. The two of you are excellent bloggers and I look forward to each new entry. It is mild in the Okanagan - plus 6, no snow.
ReplyDeleteYour adventures sound like fun, love reading about them. Your menu, not so much, haha, since I am allergic to shellfish. Guess I was meant to live here in the north where temperatures have been hovering at -20c these days, brrrr, and snow. Keep safe and enjoy every minute.
