Our First Visitor





In the 15 or so years Ken and I have been coming to Baja and enjoying the winters I can not remember one when friends or family have come to visit us and see what keeps us coming back year after year.  Well this year Shari, Ken's sister came for a 10 day visit and I hope we instilled in her mind a place and time that was fun as well as interesting and she "gets it"...the reason we keep coming back year after year.  

FYI, Horizon flys into Loreto via LA everyday (and WestJet starts flying non-stop from Calgary in Jan).  The Trupui resort, located 2 km from our beach rents a apartment that sleeps up to 8 for $350 US per week and is pretty darn comfortable.  Oh ya!  and happy hour starts every day at 5 pm and there is always an extra lawn chair with a great view of the Sea of Cortez. 




Ken and Shari, overlooking Agua Verde...what a view.  We just don't tire of it.


Shari and I got out a spoting scope to take a closer look at how the other guys live...I think they were looking back to see how good we have it on the beach!
 

Shari got the hang of SUP right away and had a beautiful afternoon to give it a try.


We took a trip in the Zodiac around Danzante Island and enjoyed the view after a short hike to the top of a hill.


Captain Ken (the tour guide) and Shari.


A walk up Steinback canyon was a good morning of exercise and as picturesque as always.


No tour of Loreto would be complete without a trip up to San Javier and a look at the 100 year old olive tree.


A sad day when we all joined for happy hour to say good bye to Shari.  Although she flew out the next afternoon we would carry on the tradition for the continuation of the winter season.
