LOCATION: Downtown Kino Viejo in Sonora, Mexico
WEATHER: Another perfect day. Sunny. Highs in 70s
We took advantage of the amenities at Kino Bay RV park....nice, hot showers, strong wifi, then packed up to head into town.
We moved from Kino Nuevo (New Town, also called Gringo-landia) to Kino Viejo (Old Kino) where the town actually is. The RV park is right on the beach. There are about 9 rigs that stay here year-round, even in the heat of summer. Everyone is very friendly.
We took a walk into town for lunch. We ate outside, while one of the many street dogs hoped for scraps. They didn't sell beer, so he walked to a nearby store and bought a big bottle, called cerveza familiar, or family-size, and we shared it.
Across from the restaurant is a busy tortilla shop...
This is a typical street scene....
We walked along the beach, and stopped at the pier to buy seafood for dinner. There are a lot of stalls and outdoor restaurants. We bought some huge clams (although they were the smallest they sold) and some shrimp, all caught this morning nearby.
This RV park has an informal daily happy hour, too. We took some beers to a grass hut on the beach to join others. What a group of characters! One couple has been coming here for 28 years! I can't imagine how primitive camping must have been then. Unfortunately, they had to warn us about crime. There have been burglaries here, so they cautioned us to be watchful. Sadly, the crime is due to drugs.
DINNER: Gourmet Italian. We sautéed the clams and shrimp with onion and lots of garlic. I made a butter-wine sauce and pasta, and combined everything. All less than $6.00!
