Day 3 Playa Norte Los Barriles BCS, Mexico

Buenos Dias!

Tim tried to get a haircut this morning. He was at Jim’s Barbershop and Bar at 9am. The woman next door told him that the barber would be there at 10 am. Tim went back at 10. He waited until after 10:30. Still no barber!

We drove the Jeep in the arroyo or the wash 10 miles all the way to the town of San Bartolo. In the dry season there is no water here. During the rainy season or during a bad storm, this wash can quickly fill with water. We followed the sandy, well worn trail.

As we got closer to town, we crossed running water and the vegetation began to be dense and green with bamboo-like grasses and tall date palms.

At the end, the path became too narrow for us to pass through.

We found an alternate route to the highway and drove into town.

We found this small roadside restaurant. We ate savory empanadas for lunch and then bought mango empanadas, and some other treats.

We stopped at the ice cream shop for an afternoon snack.

We stopped again to purchase oranges. It is orange season here and they have been juicy and sweet!

We took the highway back to town. The pictures show the wash far below.

Tim tried the barbershop on the way back to the campground…and he tried again at about 4 pm…It must be closed on Thursdays!

It was windy again today and perfect for the kite boarders and windsurfers!

I prepared sweet potato and fish cakes after finding a recipe online. They were similar to some we ate the other night in Todos Santos. Something different!!
