January 5, 2016. Beach time in Baja

LOCATION:  Rental house in Todos Santos, Baja California, Mexico
WEATHER:  Beautiful. Sunny. Highs in low 80s

Today was beach day.  The ocean in front of our house has riptide currents so swimming is not recommended.  So we packed up the car with beach gear and drove to the nearest swimming beach called Los Cerritos.  On our way, we thought we'd stop for a small lunch in Todos Santos.  We have discovered that "small" is hard to do in a Mexican restaurant.  

Gautham and Meredith split an order of machijete.

.  
The "small" order was a huge mortar-style bowl full of raw octopus and shrimp in a spicy pickling broth with slices of avocado and cucumbers.  George had an equally large bowl of seafood soup.

Stuffed, we drove on to the beach.  


The girls found a beach bar with umbrellas to cool off.

Back home, we enjoyed another beautiful sunset.

DINNER:  Meredith made bouillabaisse with more of the Mahi-Mahi and some shrimp.  She added some chorizo, too.  Turned out great.
