Even though it was just an 87 mile drive, it took us a good 3 1/2 hours to drive through the mountains and down the coast to Los Barriles, a small coastal community inhabited by mostly Americans and Canadians. The drive was pretty with big ’S’ curves climbing up and down the mountains and through several really quaint villages. The big draw for Los Barriles is the north wind that blows for days during the winter and provides hours of windsurfing and kite boarding fun.
We did not experience any wind today, it was very calm. John and I walked the 2 miles back into town and then cut over to the beach and walked back to Playa Norte RV Park. The beach is very wide and has a car track running miles in both directions. This RV park has just recently updated its facilities so we have a washing machine and clothes lines, showers and a very nice restaurant. El Gecko open two months ago and the wait staff and cooks are being trained by staff from Mango Dick’s in Cabo. We enjoyed a 2 for 1 happy hour laughing at the antics of the waiters, some Canadians and our our friends Bob and Holly. Bob was celebrating his birthday so the Canadians came over to sing “Happy Birthday” to him backwards! It was fantastic they way the had practiced it! On the count of three they turned their backs to Bob and sang!
We closed the day with a nice hot bon fire!
