December 26, 2015. Are we in Quebec or Baja?

CAMPGROUND:  Another night at Baja Sunrise.

LOCATION:  Los Barriles, Baja.  On SE side of Baja Peninsula, Mexico

WEATHER:  Cooler.  Very windy. Highs in 70s

We awoke to a beautiful sunrise......

Our neighbors from Quebec have a large motor hone.  We selected our site next to them so that we would be in their shadow/shade when the sun beats down.

The workers are working frantically to get the rest of the sites ready, as the RV park opened just a few days ago.  Consequently, Our electricity and water come and go as they work on it.

Two more huge motorhomes arrived, French Canadian friends of our neighbors.  We feel like we are in Quebec!  They are all very friendly, switching to English when we are around.

As they were hooking up, they ran into electricity problems.  One motorhome's inverter got "fried" to the tune of a few thousand dollars.  

The wind was very strong in the afternoon, making it heaven for the kite boarders.  I watched one in front of us jump up out of the water and fly about 25 feet before floating back.  

We went into town and stopped at a restaurant for some ceviche.  Yum.  Did some grocery shopping and got cash.

During these 2 1/2 years on the road, I have prided myself in conserving food, rarely needing to throw anything away.  I try to repurpose leftovers trying different recipes.  Two mistakes, however, occurred recently.  First, George thought he'd save a peso or two by buying Mexican store-brand soy milk.  Big mistake.  It was a sweet powdered milk liquid. I tried it on cereal, and it was revolting.  Not wanting to just throw it away, George added vodka to it for a cocktail.  Even he admitted it was pretty bad.  The second mistake was buying a cheap container of  "Crema".  I thought I could use it like sour cream or yogurt in cooking, but it was a little sweet. George tried it on his cereal and got tourista, so we threw it out.   

DINNER:  Speaking of repurposing leftovers.......I used the  smoked fish and creamy smoked fish spread left over from a restaurant lunch a few days ago.  I sautéed onion and garlic, then added the fish, just to warm up.  Meanwhile, I cooked some pasta.  I mixed the drained pasta with the fish mix and added the fish spread to melt, and capers.  It was fabulous!  We are going to try to buy some mire tomorrow to have on hand for when the girls come.
