San Felipe
Our first Mexican highway and we made it in one piece. Drive into town, find our little camping zone, right on the beach with two-story palapas. What a spot! Mexican families all around, ranchero music eminating from every car stereo vying for our foot-tapping. We're here! But why is it so damn hot? We swim in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez and it's only slightly cooler than the air. It{s a beautiful spot, but obviously set up for the US college crowd. A small malecon, but no Zocalo (town square). Lots of little hokey stores and the standard kids with gum. But a great view and a few days to relax and catch up. We meet some wonderful folks like Jose' (pic). But it's so hot that we spend most of our time sitting in the shade of our palapa. And this isn't Vegas hot, it's 105F and 90% humidity.

Hey Guys! Glad to hear you're in San Felipe. If you're feeling adventurous you should stop by Coco's Corner on your way south (think it's about 130 miles south of San Felipe). Coco is a REALLY cool guy with TONS of stories and always has some ice cold beer for whoever shows up. He runs an oasis which is between Puerticitos and the crossing to Mex 1-basically in the middle of no-where. Ask around for directions, everyone down there knows of Coco. Celeste and Peanut say HI!
Enjoy the road!
