Day 2 Pescadero RV Park Pescadero BCS, Mexico

Today we explored the town of Todos Santos. This town was founded in 1724 as a mission. It is an authentic old Mexican town. The plazas, streets and buildings are colorful and bright. The architecture is ripe with brick arches, iron railings and big beautiful antique doors. It is a colony of artists and there lots of restaurants. We walked around wandering in and out of the quaint little shops.

At lunchtime we settled on Mi Pueblito. The waiter encouraged us to try the chile shrimp rellenos. They roasted pablano peppers, a mild pepper, then stuffed them with shrimp and cheeses. A red sauce is spooned over top with a drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds. This dish was spicy and savory and the sweet pop of the pomegranate made it that much more delicious.

After lunch we drove around town looking at the other camping options.

We then took this road to the beach. We saw the spray of whales offshore.

We had some quiet time by the pool this afternoon and then later we drove back to the beach near our campground to look for whales. We believe that today we saw humpbacks. We saw whales breaching 8-10 times with 1/2-2/3 of their bodies bursting up through the water and then landing with a tremendous splash. It was magnificent to watch!!

We made an easy dinner…Tim really liked the eggs with chorizo and so we had that tonight again with some fresh papaya.
