We have been enjoying the nice weather and the beach here in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) since Thanksgiving. The weather has been around 75 degrees and I think the water is pretty much the same. We have been exploring the beach here, playing with the crabs and sea creatures that are very abundant here. There are a lot of people, but the beach is not crowded like you would see in San Diego. The place is pretty vacant considering the large hotels and condos along the coast. Maggie loves the water at the beach and Zuzu prefers the sand to run.
The campground at Playa Bonita is packed in like sardines. The site they gave us at the end of the row is quick to get to the beach, but I have to be careful not to bump the slide in of the RV that is backed in over the curb into our spot. The Canadians next to us are quiet and nice. We set up our gazebo for some shade, and it has been fun watching Kathy kill the flies that get in with her electric zapper.
We walked in to town today to look around. It was not the main downtown area (Malecon), but it was a nice walk. For a Saturday things were not crowded or busy at all. There are tons of rental shops for quads and side-by-sides up and down every street. We stopped at a nice little cafe and had a couple of drinks and some tacos. It ended up being $480 pesos, which was about $28 for two beers, a margarita, two bottled waters and three chicken tacos. It’s definitely tourist prices.
Tomorrow we will be heading up and around to the peninsula and are shooting for San Felipe. It is supposed to be 250 miles and should take us 4.5 hours of driving. We are slowing it down on this leg and not doing 250 miles per day like the northern part. So far it has been nice with this change in travel.
