Saturday
Yesterday Louise and I went into San Jose and then up the coastline a little further to see some of the development that is going on there. Just north of the estuary they are building this huge marina development. It includes very expensive homes and lots of condominiums. Again, it brings up the question of “where is all the money coming from” to buy all this expensive real estate? The roadways running through this development are far above what you normally see here or almost anywhere else we have been in the last few years If the roads are an example of the homes to come, this is going to be “some place”. Having fond memories of a couple of previous drives up in this area, we headed off to see “Buzzards”. Buzzards is a restaurant and bar that has been here for a long time that has always given us a reason to come back. It’s not bright and shiny but kind of reminds us of a place that was once just a “hippies” dream hideout right on the shore of the Sea of Cortez. Later in the evening we drove to Bonnie and Doug’s condo in San Jose. We were invited to dinner with them and to see Nacho and Rosio Lopez, whom we haven’t seen for 5 years. 18 years ago, Nacho and Rosio were our personal friends and personal guides on our 5 week “History trip through Mexico” (all that is another story).
