Can one really have too much sea, sun and sand? I think not, but with that being said we are slowly storing our toys back into the trailer and preparing ourselves mentally (and physically) for our return trip to Canada. It is always hard to leave the beach but with all the news we have been hearing about a long, cold and snowy winter at home we are dragging our feet even more than usual.
This winter went way too fast, a few small trips on the bikes, lots of water sports a big birthday (Ken's 60th) and before you know it our months down here are gone. Every winter down here has been a good one...what can I say? Life is amazing on the beach when Ken and I can spend time together and with great friends.
A SUNDOG over the candlerias south of Danzante Island
A carpet of flowers in bloom line the road to San Juanico on the Pacific side, north of Lopez Mateos.
Been there before but the view overlooking La Parisima.
It pays to get up early. The sunrise over Danzante from the middle of the strait is amazingly calm and a great way to start the day.
Rock crabs climbing on the lava rocks, close to their moulting period.
We had the biggest storm we have ever seen in Baja this year. Winds got up to130 kph, stuff was flying everywhere. Most of us at the beach got off easy but palapas in nearby Juncalito village had roofs and walls flying. The storm was short lived at 2 or 3 hours but it was very exciting, to say the least.
Thru the clear, clear water on Monserrate Island you have a great view of the stones and corral below. Doug and Mary Tracy took us (and Al, Val, Sue and John) to the island that Ken and I had never been too before, just a little to far the Zodiac and for me to paddle.
On the way back to Puerto Escondito we saw a few whales. There was not as many whales this year but it was always exciting to see them.
The Playa Grande Resort in Cabo San Lucas, wow! Jay and Diane have a timeshare and were gracious enough to treat us to a couple nights stay with them. Sooo nice.
That's us life on the beach at Lands End!!!
