We made a big decision on Sunday. After a lot of talking we decided that it wasn’t worth the aggravation – we could make a choice. Michel was really uncomfortable driving our big moho on those roads. She took a real shit kickin’ with those speed bumps and that’s not fair. The moho is our home and we would like to keep her in one piece. We still want to see the Baja, but we’ll do it in a car! Another time. So we headed North instead of South. So we were back in Ensenada about noon –fueled up the moho and headed East on Hwy 3 to San Felipe. We know we like it here! We got into town around 3:30 and we’re settled into the same place we were at last year – Baja Mar RV Park. We’re steps to the ocean and have an oceanview from our front window (see picture). It’s really not that bad! Three months of sea – sun – and cerveza (I mean tacos) – okay I can do that.

San Felipe has grown some since last year. There is construction everywhere. I hear the minimum wage for construction workers is now $10.00/hr. Sure beats the $20.00/day they used to get.
There is no shortage of places to eat. There is one directly across from our RV park and they serve us the best guacamole I’ve ever eaten. Oh – all the food is good, but last year was the first time I’d ever tried avocados done up any way at all and I was impressed. Last night we went to the only Chinese Restaurant in town. They serve up real good food. It’s funny though – to hear a China-man talk Spanish.

Our old haunt Fandangos is still here – Buzz and Heather (from Pentiction) are back again for another 6 months and he’s a one-man-band who plays music and sings every Wednesday night there. The cerveza went up in price. This year you get a ‘bucket’ - 5 beers for $7 (last year it was $6) Internet is still free at at Fandangos, so we can sit and listen to music, play a little pool, surf the net and drink beer – does it get any better?
