Post number 4 - more about day to day

John made the hike to his geo cache on the hill to the south end of the beach.  All good up there, lots of visits to the cache - and the reward for making the hike up the mountain is the fabulous view of the bay!  The first picture is the island I am always talking about.

The cache at the top of the mountain!
Marked with a light
that is still going strong after 3 years!




















Next is looking north to the beach - we are near the centre of the bay.

 Every day brings a new event...this is a little stick bug I found on the table.  Yesterday, there were two events worthy of a mention - Wayne got stung by a scorpion (his is just fine) and Chris got stung by a jelly fish (he is fine too)  There are many dangers these days - the bay is also full of stingrays so wading into the water is a challenge!  I am finding many uses for my paddle board - a swim float is one of them, gets me out to deep water with out navigating the sting ray resting ground.

 Morning Internet at Jerri and Norm's -yes I can check email most every day.

John and I have done a few day trips -
We drove north to Santa Rosalia one day.  Always fun to see what is happening in the neighboring towns. Very busy the day we were there, looks like lots happening since they re-opened the mine, which is very good for the local economy.  Another trip was south to Loreto - always a fun place to visit.  Again lots going on there, busy shops and a big new grocery store, a "Super Ley" chain store.  Day trips usually include lunch, fish tacos are our favourite choice.  Another afternoon was off to a neighboring beach to collect shells.

Here we are on one of our kayaking adventures to the island.....


Picture perfect don't ya think?

On the way back home with flat calm water!
