We drove two hours south of the border and landed in San Felipe. We are staying in an awesome vrbo (still too cold to tent camp). It is a refurbished trailer that is perfect for the two of us. The people that are hosting us are two of the absolutely most amazing people and have really helped us out. They showed us around when we first arrived and this morning took us on an awesome hike.
We are starting to pick up more and more Spanish and love all the new experiences. Like taking money out of an atm (1000 pesos feels like so much money!! Turns out it's about 58 dolores)
Getting gas was even more hilarious as the attendant asked how much money we wanted to put in to the tank, and Nick kept responding with "87!". We ended up getting 200 pesos worth, however much that is, since gas is in liters and I have no idea how to convert that to gallons.
There is music playing so loud from someone's house or the bar 3 streets away that you can hear it right through the walls of the trailer and it might be driving us crazy. It's like the happiest repetitive polka and it really belongs at a carnival. Did I mention that it plays until 3am? This is real life.
But Jackson absolutely loves it here. It's nice and cold in the breeze and the beaches are wonderful.
We were invited to stay until next week, so we might stay in San Felipe until next Tuesday or Wednesday. ¡Buenos noches!
This was an old nudest colony back in the 60s and 70s. They built some amazing structures and had to travel on a seriously crazy dirt road to get any supplies.
Gail and Mike are hosting us. They are some of the coolest people ever. Can't wait for more adventures!!
