This is going to be big.....Baja Mexico...I can't wait to go back






a proud catch....



Sally dog curiously watching birds

Salvador- every Am at sunrise would sweep the fresh sand. he has been there 60 years.

We caught these fish- being - mike, billy, steve and I. The workers at Alfonsina's took our fish cleaned them and cooked us dinner all on the house.....what great hospitality...such nice people.

Just met these folks at Alfonsina's and immediately like old friends......hope to see ya all again someday....Nancy, Mike, Billy, Lori, and Mary ann....

Ruben behind the bar- what great people

Antonio running Alfonsina's - what a clean kitchen.

dinner room/bar at Alfonsina's



sunrise from our little piece of mexico for a week....


not bad taken right from outside our hotel room









random solo guy from Bavaria bike touring. he did not want food or water but he did take a beer....he was stoked they were cold....

our Oregon friends we met on this trip traveled all five in this rig. we drove out together after meeting at Alfonsina's. safety in numbers- ruff road but very worth it

This is a highway......



I am just taking it all in.

alfonsina's- we made it here down a pretty rugged road at 5 miles per hour for 7 hours- to arrive here and it was perfect so stayed for 1 week....forgetting the days and time

A usual sight at Alfonsina's- our new oregon friends- Mike and Nancy

fun times.....I tried to get pics of dolphins and seals but they were too fast. saw whales off in the distance too..



fresh off the boat. below the small boat getting dinner from the shrimp boat.



The easy life at Alfonsina's- Gonzaga Bay Baja - look at Cody smile....



Driving the Dirt HWY 5 down to Gonzaga bay- 5miles per hour for 47miles




I love the local food spots and stores of Mexico




The food yummmmmm and fresh.......Octopus cocktail....In San Felipe



What more can I say but - Perfect....It all just went as good as I could of hoped for....Great to be on Mexico time for almost 2 weeks.....D
