Day 12 Playa Norte Los Barriles BCS, Mexico

We saw the sunrise again this morning.  By 8:30, we were on our way to the community market that occurs every Saturday in La Laguna Park.  There were so many wonderful things to purchase.  We bought fresh asparagus and strawberries and bread and empanadas and Mexican coffee and other treats.  I really enjoy shopping that way.  There was lots of beautiful art and jewelry as well…but we have no need for that anymore!

We stopped at the local grocery and then went back to the RV to pack a cooler for a trip to the beach.

Today we took this road.

It is a sinuous, winding road that has more than a few issues and problems!

The views though are stunning!

We shared the beach today with a family from Alaska…mom, dad and two children.  They purchased a trailer and truck in Idaho and made their way to Baja about a month ago.  They live in the trailer on this remote beach, very far from town and other people, in complete solitude.  They have come to Baja for the past several winters.  The dad works on a fishing boat in Alaska and this is the off season for him.  The parents find Los Barriles to be too crowded and busy.  The kids brought schoolwork enough to keep up.  They are well behaved, well mannered kids who got along well while we were there.  They enjoy nature and have had fun finding scorpions and snakes in the area surrounding their camper.  What an amazing adventure for these children and their family.  There are lots of good things and lots of other things about raising a family this way…but there is no right or wrong way to live…just different and these are experiences and memories that will never be forgotten.  We always feel fortunate after meeting people who are also living their dream!

Apparently, Sudoku and wine do not work well together!
