Pescadero RV Park Pescadero BCS, Mexico
Today was moving day again. We traveled across the two mountain passes from Los Barriles to Todos Santos. We stopped in the town of El Triunfo at the same roadside stand where we had such a good meal the other day. Today, the cook fixed us eggs with poblano peppers and onions and machaca and frijoles and fresh tortillas. It was a wonderful brunch!
We arrived in Pescadero around noon. We got settled and rested for a while. We packed fresh guacamole and fresh papaya for our dinner. We stayed on the beach from 4 – 6:30. We watched grey whales.
We watched the powerful surf as the tide turned from low tide and started barreling in. The powerful crash of the enormous waves sounded like cannons blasting. The ocean was calm so that we could see the pull of the water, drawing strength and cascading into giant curls. The Pacific side is much rawer and wilder than the calmer Sea of Cortez.
We watched the changing light. It was so cloudy that we were not sure that we would see much of a sunset.
All at once, the sun slipped through the clouds casting fiery pink light on the whole world. It was glowing and wondrous to see. The sunset was showy and dramatic…and so lovely.
