LOCATION: Bahia de Kino in Sonoro, Mexico. On the Sea of Cortes..across from Baja California
WEATHER: Perfect! Highs around 80
Our campground is 95 % Americans and Canadians. We watched a big caravan of 25 rigs leave this morning. Now, the RV park is only about half full. Everyone is very friendly. They tell us that tourism is way down, due to the fear many Americans have about traveling to Mexico. Not many people come on their own, so they are curious about us.
We went into town, searching for the ATM. This time, it worked, so we are no longer penniless! What a relief! We celebrated with lunch at a beachfront restaurant.
We ordered beers to start. The waitress said they didn't sell beer. We could bring our own, or she would run around the corner and buy us some. We said ok, and she brought us Tecates.
We shared Pescado en Crema de Chipotle....lightly fried filet of a mild fish in a chipotle cream sauce. We split a huge platter for about $6.
We walked around Kino Viejo (Old Kino). It seems much more Mexican than Nuevo (New) Kino. Lots of little shops, dusty streets, and lots of seafood restaurants and stalls. No one speaks English here. We looked at an RV park in Kino Viejo, and plan to move there next week.
We found a little grocery store for shopping. Then, we walked along the beach. Fishermen were working on their boats....
We bought a fish called Liza which we learned is mullet. It was $2/pound. The guy selling it said it was very fresh, caught this morning.. He assured me that it was ok to eat sashimi-style.
These birds were fighting for fish in front of us..
Back at our RV park, we looked for someone in the office to pay. Mañana, I guess! No one seems too concerned about these things.
We joined a group of RVers in the Rec Room for happy hour. They all leave their RVs here year-round, and spend about 6 months here each year.
DINNER: George grilled the fish. I served it with cucumbers and leftover lentils. The fish was very good.
