This past weekend all of us boatyard people decided to go on a camping trip. So we packed up our back packs added a few beers, random veggies, pancake mix, and our tent and headed to Empalme. A town about 20 minutes from here. George, Michael and I in George’s Dodge Ram. The Brits with their parents in their car. Rudy in his truck and Allen our caboose in his MoHome. We got to the beach around 3 and set up camp. We spent the day collecting wood for a fire, making a homemade put put course, taking turns on the kayak and enjoying the sun. We had grabbed some fresh seafood on the way and Michael prepared a huge pot of Mexican Seafood Paella, which is what we called it. After we had soaked up everything we could from the beach that day we went to sleep with full bellies. The morning brought another day of sunshine. Allen and I fixed up a huge breakfast and we left. A few days later having the itch to get out of the yard and finally be back in La Sancha we set out to explore a new cove. We are now slowly getting to work on preparing Splendid for the trailer and the open road.

New trick.. Cover your corn in seaweed. Keeps it moist and gives it just enough salt.
Almejas Chocolatas popular in Mexico. All of the locals dig for these bad boys. They are going for 2 pesos on the side of the road. Michael and Gordon dug these up.
