We didn't have to travel too far today. Only 12 miles from Mulege, the gorgeous Bahia Concepcion starts. We had heard that it was beautiful, and it lives up to the hype. Numerous beaches for camping line the 20 mile coast of the bay. We pulled into one of the last ones, El Requeson. A palapa was available to pull alongside and shield us from the breeze. We are right on the edge of the water, maybe 12 feet from clear blue- green agua. The corona commercial, find your beach, did come to mind when we pulled our chairs up to the water, and popped a Pacifico. The water is certainly warmer, and would be fine if the days were a little less windy. Apparently there is a northern cold front arriving. The first of the winter. Oh well. It's still beats snow.
We've spent the day doing very little. I painted for a few hours while Richard wandered over to the little island that is connected at low tide. A short dip in the water that we could enjoy a little more than yesterday. Then we walked south along the beach to the next little campsite where we met a German couple who have been traveling around the world since 2008. We may be a tad envious... Once you head out on the road, you just don't want to stop.
There's a woman who "runs" the little campsite here, Gabriela. Well, she collects the 80 pesos (about $6), but she loves to chat. In nice clear Spanish, so I can understand. She and her family live on this little beach year round. In what looks like a little shack. Yet somehow she had Internet access yesterday and told me that the cold front was coming through. When I told her that we lived in Colorado, she said she had been reading about Colorado and the parks in the mountains. I told her that's where I work in the summer leading hikes, then she pointed to the local mountain and said she had climbed it 4 times. "Very emotional" she said. It looks like pure loose rock from the beach.
