Mexico for the first time...
... right on the Pacific, with some wonderful seafood in blazing sunshine.
We wander the market streets filled with vendors flogging their wares, in search of a hammock for the back of the ambulance. A rowdy crowd of college kids sit atop a beach bar veranda, heckling mexican girls as they go past. It doesn’t feel like we’re in Mexico just yet, but as at any time I enter a country where I don’t speak the language, I still feel ...
MesoAmerica Rally - Mexico at last!

All you can eat oyster
Robert and Gloria took us to their favorite oyster farm. It is a 15 min drive from "Rocky Point" as Puerto Peņasco is called by Americans.
