We are BACK!

On our way to San Juanico we picked some provisions for the cafe.
Some folks stopped on their way out on the dirt road. Just a flat tire, they said they could handle it.
Ahhhh....THE paved road!
It was good to see 'main' street again.
Just a bit windy.
Yes, the windmills are still here.
Our first harvest from our little garden on the hill.
John said that I should be in a picture with some of our harvest. These beets were so good. We had them for dinner, cooked al dente with a little butter, mmmm....mmmm....good.

Partying at John and John's (aka: Juan y Juan's) place overlooking 1st point.

Some sage words of advice. AND a great aerial photo of San Juanico.
Tito, our friendly constable.

Our gracious, friendly, 1-heck-of-a-Margarita maker host John. (aka: Juan) Thanks Juan for a wonderful evening.

On our last weekend in San Juanico we had pizza at Dan Alacran's Pizza . Hmmm mmmm GOOD! They are usually open on the weekends, it is well worth the wait. (We are currently in the states on a re-stocking expedition. We will be back in San Juanico the end of the month.)
Dan, Jackie and crew stopped long enough to pose for a picture.
Working hard.
Some very happy customers.

Mother's Day in San Juanico

This fabulous sunset over the windmills set the mood for the festivities in town for Mother's Day. In San Juanico they celebrate Mother's Day on the 10th of May.
In town the Salon was hopping with the festivities. People come from all the surrounding areas to celebrate.
A raffle being held, not sure for what but everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Visitors to the cafe from the sailboats moored in the bay.

The Sea Turtle Conservation Network of the Californias, is a grassroots network of individuals, communities, organizations and institution from around the world dedicated to the conservation and protection of sea turtles in Northwest Mexico. www.grupototuguero.org
We served breakfast to a group of conservationists from The Grupo Tortuguero, A Sea Turtle Revolution. San Juanico is one of the Loggerhead Conservation Communities. Loggerhead turtles migrate from Japan to feed within coastal fishing grounds off the Baja California Peninsula. The Grupo Tortuguero's work in partnership with fishermen and their families has shown that local fisheries are a leading source of loggerhead mortality in the Pacific and that the future of these turtles is largely in the hands of small-scale fishers in Mahia Magdalena, Isla San Lazaro, Puerto Lopes Mateos, Santa rosa, Santo Domingo, La Poza Grands, Las Barrancas, Punta Abreojos and San Juanico.

Judy and Clare Juhl, dear friends of John & Becky, visited from Mulege. Judy is collecting wall art and shows her latest find. They were very impressed with San Juanico and the miles and miles of beautiful beaches that surround Bahia San Juanico.

At the Internet

Our little cardon cactus put out a BIG bloom.

Another SPECTACULAR San Juanico sunset.

Pitahaya

I can't believe I'm already looking forward to Pitahayas and it's not even June yet.

Gary & Spike came by to check us out. They moored Gary's sailboat in the bay to rest and get ready to sail north.
The S.V. Sparkle built by hand by Gary K. Webb. It must be a very sea worthy vessel, Gary has sailed it many times, by himself, from Ensenada to La Paz.

Dustin

Dustin enjoying a fun day at 2nd point before he had to go back to reality (U.S.A). He is going to go back to San Marcos, CA to see his wife and work for 3 weeks. He will return to San Juanico the first week in June. We look forward to his coming back down, he is such an asset to Point Surf Baja because of his innovative ideas and his way with people. We miss him.
