Living for 7 weeks in Mexico

One more time for the taco photo.

OK So we knew that we liked the town of Kino, but only on our arrival this time did we discover how much. The second place we went (after the net cafe) was a street taco/fish stand. The little old lady goes back to the cooler to show Greer the shelled clams, but on a whim she pulls out a big "heavy" blue crab. Well, we bought her entire stock on the spot. Luckily we had brought some Old Bay Seasoning. Unfortunately we only brought two cans. So if you read on and you think you might want to come down and visit, please bring more Old Bay!

The incredible see-through beach house

We have rented the loveliest house in Bahia de Kino . Designed and built by the man who is now mayor, this house is an incredible integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. It never allows us to forget that we are at the beach.

A view of the courtyard

The place is absolutely grand. If it were not for the fountain we could play soccer in the courtyard. The guestrooms both have out door entrances through the courtyard. This increases privacy and adds to the felling of living with the outdoors.

The weather here is delightful. It ranges between 60 and 80 degrees as the day heats up in late November.

Am I inside or am I outside?

The back patio looks more like a living room. Yet it has three huge porticos for looking out over the Sea of Cortez. So far on this trip we have seen leaping bill-fish, a whale's tail, dolphins, hunting pelicans, (de facto) flying fish, and sand crabs no-end.

The beach at sunset

The beach in Kino is very clean and 4 miles long. It is great for morning walks. There are numerous islands off shore. We hope to investigate them as the month goes on.

Stay tuned for more photos
