December 11, 2015. Camping on the beach in Baja

CAMPGROUND: Pabellon RV Park.  Full hook-ups available, but we dry-camped closer to the beach.  Ok bathrooms with hot showers.  $9/night.  5 stars
LOCATION:  South of San Quentin, Baja California, on Pacific
WEATHER:  Rain overnight, turning nice. High 70.  

During the night, it stormed.  As we were perched on a cliff, we rocked a bit in the wind.  That always scares me, but George snoozed through.

We drove about 160 miles.  It is slow going, as there many small villages to drive through.  We passed through huge fields of greenhouses and vineyards.  Unfortunately, there is a lot of litter on the road.

We stopped here at Pabellon, as it was recommended by the folks last night.  It is beautiful.....right on the beach.  This is the view from our front door....

The boats remind me of the last scene in the movie "Shawshank Redemption". 

We walked along the beach, collecting sand dollars.  We had the beach to ourselves, other than a few Mexicans digging for clams.  It was very windy, and the sand blew fiercely.




I'm drying the sand dollars, and hope they don't break in the truck, on the bouncy roads.

We had drinks with our neighbors from California.  He is Mexican, and knows this area well.  He gave us some tips on more places to stay.  He served us some crab cocktails from crabs he had bought from a fisherman.  Yum!

DINNER:  Hamburgers.  The last of the ones George had grilled when we were on Bainbridge Island.  Side was cucumbers in Greek yogurt.
