My birthday week is great with 66 hours of celebration to accomplish, I must begin early each day and work late! But what to do? How about a fine mini trip to Loreto? This quaint Baja town now claims our #1 Taco Pescado (fish taco) lunch! WOW!
 |
| Restaurant Loreto town square |
 |
| Voted #1 fish taco in all of Baja....by N & S |
How about a bottle of Pacifico poured into an iced glass mug and a little plate of fresh cut limes to squeeze into it?
 |
| Cerveza a Mexico! |
It's very windy this day and we think better to spend it re-exploring Loreto than on the beach.
 |
| No wind gauge...but I'm just sayin'..... |
 |
| Not bad for a photo op with a garbage can! |
The progress in fixing up the town is slow, but we see evidence of completed work (2 blocks) on the malecon by the tiny marina and along the shopping street. The one thing that is missing is any sign of tourists. We see only four other obvious visitors so that makes a total of 6! I ask the waiter, where are all the tourists? He shrugs and says, "Oh, very very quiet...maybe next month?" I ask about the cruise ships we have seen in past years. He says, "Oh, the construction on the waterfront has made that not possible...sadly."
 |
| Scarves, purses, lotions...vanilla! |
 |
| Blouses, bags, banners |
 |
| Sombreros! |
A quick stop for a ...yes, latte...(well, it was with boxed milk and I'm not sure about the coffee)...
 |
| Sorta like latte...well, a coffee drink.. |
 |
| Sunshine....and down jackets |
We stick by our rule of not drivng after dark, so a quick stop at the American Deli (yikes, English Breakfast tea...$6.00 a box!)...and it's back on the road. This trip we find a herd of wild goats and another group of five donkeys roaming the highway and running off into the brush. Much MUCH harder to see at night!
 |
| Goats headed...somewhere? |
 |
| Donkeys....admiring us? |
Adios to Loreto....for now...back to Playa el Coyote!

| Mission in Loreto |
