Mexico 2012 RV Trip - Day 88 - March 23, 2012 Kino Bay

We took a nice walk on the beach today then back to the RV via the street. We saw an RV and car with Colorado license plates, so we stopped and introduced ourselves. Jean-Maurice and Sally are a delightful couple from Salida, Colorado, and we had a great time visiting with them.

After leaving them, our new friends, Carolyn and Tom, and their cute little dog, Tessa, drove by to see how we were doing. We hopped in their car and we all went to the Seri Museum here in New Kino. It’s a small museum and admission was only $10 pesos per person (78¢ USD), but it had some nice displays and lots of old photographs of the Seri people. They are known for their basketry and ironwood carvings. We found out that you can arrange tours to their village, but we will have to save that for another trip. 

We went to lunch and did a little driving tour with Tom and Carolyn trying to find the road that leads to the beaches north of here. We didn’t have any luck, but had a really fun time sharing stories and getting to know them better. We came back to the beach in town and took Tessa for a walk. She is the funniest little dog – she races along the shore and chases the waves as they come in. Tobey and I both laughed at her antics! The area is surround by cactus and many of them are in bloom. It was beautiful to see.

 Later this afternoon, we went back and visited with Jean-Maurice and Sally for a couple hours. It has been really fun here in Kino Bay with no set agenda so we could spend time getting to know folks. We both now see the advantage of coming and staying in a location for longer periods of time, but this trip is swiftly coming to an end. Tomorrow we leave for Puerto Penasco.
