Week 3- Baja Sur, Mexico
April 6th- 12th
Back again for our weekly update. Since our last post we have been pretty much stationed here in Loreto. Last week was Semana Santa here in Mexico and the beaches were packed. We were lucky to have a nice quiet spot for most of the week until Friday Saturday and Sunday when most people were celebrating Easter.
Day 15-19, Rattlesnake Beach:
Our Mission on Monday was to get propane! We discovered that the tank lasts us about 10 days and it was time. We ended up just using our camping equipment to cook dinner last night. We thought it would be good to stay in one place for the holiday week and Loreto has been a very convenient area for us with places near by for drinking water, propane and groceries. After our short stay at Coyote beach we headed a few miles down the road to an area called Rattlesnake beach. We spent the holiday week there, enjoying the beautiful views of the islands off the coast, taking walks, collecting shells, and making fires. Our friend here in Loreto, Neil has been super helpful to us. We were able to do a mutual trade with him, in exchange for him finding some local establishments willing to fill our oil jugs, we went on a time share presentation for him. Kindra also made him and his girlfriend, Patricia, some sweet custom jewelry.
Day 20-21, Nopolo:
They have also been kind enough to offer up their property for us to park the camper and house for cooking, electric and water while we gather oil for the truck. We spent the night before Easter at their place and made Sopa de Fideo for a potluck brunch for Easter day. On Easter morning Neil and Patricia took us to a great open air market/flea market with lots of second hand items as well as fresh vegetales, queso, y carne. The produce was the freshest and nicest we had seen so far and we bought enough to last us a week, for only 120 pesos!!!(That’s less than $10). The potluck was nice, all Gringos like us, just down the road from our camp spot, in a harbor called Playa Escondido. We made it just in the nick of time to fill our plates with about 5 different kinds of deserts and luckily our Sopa (but it didn’t last long!!).
ciao, love us
