This is our first day in the real heat. First day in swimwear, going in the ocean, taking the kayaks out. It is absolutely glorious. We are on Playa el Requeson, one of the smaller but more popular beaches along Bahia Concepcion because of it's isthmus leading out to a tiny offshore island, creating shallow bays on either side. When the tide goes fully out, one can walk to the island. We kayaked around the island and loaded up on firewood on its opposite side, only accessible by water.
It's only taken us eight driving days to get here from home, and we'll relax for a while before doing the two more driving days to get down to Todos Santos near the southern tip. We can go into the cute little town of Mulege for a day, and also visit the bar at the next playa along the stretch - Buenaventura owned by American expat Mark who we partied with last time we were here. We'll be able to easily kayak to Mark's and avoid the two km roadway that isn't safe for walking nor driving along after a few cervezas.
As we sit here on the beach, vendors come by with trinkets and blankets, but the best salesmen are the fishermen. We just got a huge bag of fresh camerones (large shrimp) for the equivalent of $14 Cdn.
