Playa Norte Los Barriles BCS, Mexico

We left Todos Santos this morning. It is rare for us to stay in one place for a whole week…that should be testimony to how much we enjoyed this area. It was however, time to move on. We are still researching the very best places in the southern portion of Baja to take Kyle and Allison. Today we drove east, over the Sierra La Laguna to Los Barriles. The road was wiggly and at times steeply graded. It was a beautiful ride even though today was mostly cloudy.

This campground was recommended by Brian and Carol who have settled here for the month of February. We were able to negotiate a lesser rate if we stayed for the week and so…we will use this campground as our base to explore. We got a full hookup site on the beach!

This afternoon, the water was teeming with manta rays. We could see them launching and “flying” through the air. We saw dozens.

There seems to be lots to see and we could not wait to begin. Today we went into town and walked along the streets, peeking into all of the shops.

We got directions to the post office…we are still trying to mail those postcards…
We found it…but it closed at 3…

Tonight, we visited La Playa for dinner. We had excellent food on a table outside. The manta rays continued to be active in the Sea of Cortez.

We also saw frigate birds.
