LOCATION: Loreto, Baja, California, on eastern coast of the peninsula, on the Sea of Cortez
WEATHER: Beautiful. Highs in 70s
We explored the old town of Loreto this afternoon. We started driving down narrow streets, and a policeman stopped us, blowing his whistle, saying it was a pedestrian walkway. No signage!
The old town is lovely with carefully groomed hedges.
Neat old hotels
And sidewalk cafés..
We stopped at this bar, as their ad said they make their own beer. Alas, the bartender said they stopped brewing, so we resigned ourselves to margaritas. :)
Seafood is abundant here. I need to remember the English translation for everything....
Jaiba-crab
Filete de jurel-horse mackarel filet
Pulpo-octopus
Abulon-abalone
Caguama-sea turtle
Longosta-lobster
Cameron-shrimp
Almeja-clam
Filete de Pescado-filleted fish
Caracol-conch
Jurel entero-horse mackarel whole
DINNER: We needed to use up the rest of the horse mackerel filet that I sautéed last night. I made a fish curry with the fish, piotatoes, and onions. Added a bit of Mexican "Crema" for texture. Lots of curry powder. Side was a garlic pickle, that I found in my spice box, purchased last year when we were in India . A treat!
