Rocky Point

So what if it was a loooong 24 hours of driving to get here. Or that our car didn't have air conditioning over the last baking desert heat. Rocky Point is so beautiful it makes the eyes tear up. Its such a perfect get-away that I swear my heart is beating slower. Picture extreme high and low tides, that regularly expose a coral reef and tide pools. Imagine 85 degree water with tumbling surf. Papaya, mangoes, guayabas, avocados, shrimp the size of my hand, with home made tamales and hand patted tortillas. Oh my. And Dale is here, right here, instead of somewhere else in a court room or on the road.

We certainly could get used to this.

  1. Puerto Penasco! I have been there.... many years ago. Its fabulous! I remember a fish joint that serves "the fish of the day". It is a local place, for sure. On a dock. The fish of the day isn't on the menu, but you can order it. Its a whole fish, served in the most amazing manner. With the best tortillas. Oh my heavens. Have that with a beer? Happy times. Also have fond memories of the potato tacos sold by locals on the beach. Holy happy tummy memories.

  3. So like you Lori to be in Mexico the week before you leave for Asia : ) Miss you and will fondly think of you being on my side of the world soon, although still a bit too far from me...
