Out for Chinese Food

So we haven't had Chinese food since we had the condo (1.5 years ago). Been craving for months. So Chris, Shawn Whittaker and Steve and I ventured out to have Chinese food here in Puerto Peñasco.  Well, found this place and surprisingly excellent, and cooked by locals! $18.00 US$ gets you won ton soup, pineapple chicken, chop suey, Beef and broccoli, special fried rice, egg rolls with sliced pork! Same back home would have been at least $50.00. And we had to put 2/3 in take home containers. Now that is a deal-and-a-half!!!!

Day trip to Santo Tomas

Frank and Margaret picked us up and away we went!


Entrance to a gated community.


The beach goes on forever and very flat. 


Frank drove down to the beach and almost couldn't drive back up.



Very flat and the tide would come in very slow.






Picking shells along beach and realized I was far from the gang.

Volcanic Crater Day Trip

Estación Biologica de la Reserva de la Biosfera del Pinacate. 40 minute drive north. Once at the entrance another 45 minute drive on the most roughest ride ever. Total washboard road for 78 Km's. All you do is vibrate. Each bump was 6 inches apart!


Hiked up to a look-out point.

Very interesting vegetation. 9 plant species that in the entire world  can only be found in this small area.

Looking into the Elegante crater.


Panorama of Cerro Colorado crater.

Fun in the surf

Waves were pretty good today! Got our asses kicked many times. Sand everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE! Yes, that's Frank with us.
