San Felippe

We left Rocky Point on Sunday, Valentine's Day, and drove most of the day. The roads were actually very good, vor the most part, but we were slowed down by three military checkpoints 9two of which conducted thorough searches of our rigs) and one bad stretch of a pockmarked, bumpy road under construction. We are staying at an RV park called Pete's Camp, about 7 miles north of of town. It's an odd little community of mostly Americans living, or at least wintering in dwellings that range from run-down shacks to elegant little villas. Camping is on the beach below the houses. Fifteen dollars American per night gives you a ramada for shade, a palapa in front, and a beautiful beach. No hook ups, but there is drinking water, a dump, dumpster for garbage, and a restuarant and bar with Wi-Fi. Since we are on the opposite side of the Sea of Cortez from Puerto Pinasco, we get sunrises over the water instead of sunsets. The pictures i took and theoretically loaded onto the computer are nowhere to be found at this moment, while I'm trying to write this, so I'll add them to my next post.

I somehow came down with a cold between here and Rocky Point, so I've mostly been sitting on the beach, sneezing and blowing my nose. Still, as a friend on Facebook pointed out to Janice when she was complaining of the same thing in Rocky Point, if you're going to have a cold, the beach is a pretty good place to have one.
