Casa Azul

Today started with a hearty breakfast at a restaurant where most of us got a type of omelet, and then we headed off to Bahia de los Angeles, a ten hour drive. Along the way, Boz learned a lot of cactus names from Francisco. We almost hit a guy skateboarding with his earbuds in in the middle of the road. That was number one of three things we almost hit; number two was a coyote and three a jackrabbit.

            After a few hours, we pulled over for a bathroom break in the desert. Kara’s second time peeing in the desert had a similar result to the first. We heard yelling and Boz came upon a scene where Kara had a mini cactus stuck in her leg. Boz assessed the situation and pulled it out.

            We stopped for lunch where Austin got for the third time an American meal. First, quesadilla, then, pancakes, and now, a burger and fries. Chris had a huge chalice of homemade lemonade.

            For the rest of the trip, Austin and I planned out most of next week with some input from Boz and Francisco. After arriving at Casa Azul, yes it is blue, we went to Guillermo’s to eat. Jeff started what became many riddles. A bee’s in your hand; what’s in your eye? Tracy was the first to figure that one out two hours later with some hints. Austin ate his first true Mexican meal of chicken and cheese enchiladas and he loved it.

            Back at Casa Azul, most of us learned how to set up cots, and then fell asleep. Two more days and we’ll head to the cave paintings.
