Tripui to Playa Buenaventura

We left La Paz yesterday for the 6 hour, 200 mile journey to Puerto Escondido where we stayed at the Tripui RV park again.  In the two weeks we have been gone, they said they had completed the bathroom and showers.  Well, sort of.  The showers were done and looked very inviting but there was no hot water.  The men’s room still had no toilet and all the outlets were exposed.  It’s Mexico!

Since today’s drive is only 75 miles, we elected to go by ourselves instead of with the group.  We wanted to check our email one last time before we have no internet for 3 days.  Our grandson has been sick and was hospitalized for one day to receive IV fluids, he came home yesterday morning but he got sick again last night.  We were hoping to find out how he was doing this morning.  But no news. It was rather pleasant to drive with no one to follow.

We are camped on Bahia Concepcion (Conception Bay)  at the Playa Beunaventura Trailer Park.  It used to be a hotel and resort area but the hotel is abandoned and the casitas around it are mostly unused.  The 20 rigs are crammed side by side facing the beach.  Its not a bad beach but the wind has been blowing hard all day so the waves are huge with whitecaps on the sea.  John and I explored the shoreline on foot and then got in the Jeep and drove north to see what other beaches are close.  We found Le Burro Playa and La Coyote RV parks.  They are more developed than this beach with palapas and beach side homes for the RVs.  The forecast is more wind until Sat. so we are not sure when we’ll be able to snorkel or swim.
