Made a few friends today, locals that own the restaurants closest to this place, a kid out in the water at a local surf spot (Las Palmas), Scott and Mary two folks staying at this place in a tent as well, and another one of the kids of the people that own the place, he is apparently shipping off to Oregon for school soon. The kid at the surf spot (Las Palmas), his parents (his mom anyway) left for LA a couple days ago, got his email, may see him again soon!
Sweating like a pig here, its 8pm and very hot atm, no breeze to speak of, this evening, sure would be nice.
Las Palmas, probably one of the more beautiful beaches I have seen. 5min down an easy dirt road, surrounded by palm trees and rocks, little inlet from the ocean that creates a small river a foot deep or so that runs partway around the beach that a few people were playing in. Horses also, just free roaming around the place. The waves were fairly decent, nothing special other than the fact that the water is definitely, FINALLY, tropical here. It was actually brisk and quite nice. Low 70's maybe.
The Sun is HOT! This is a problem. The desert here essentially is all that Southern Baja is! So any Palm trees are usually planted, so there is very little area to naturally camp in that provides shelter. Even an umbrella would be welcome. Once I get to mainland I expect that to change, more hope than expect though. No idea really.
Starting out at a surf spot named El Cerritos tomorrow, expecting some barrels, also I find myself to be a much better surfer without the wetsuit!
