Puerto Escondido/Loreto

We traveled from Agua Verde up to Puerto Escondido on Monday. Puerto Escondido is also known as the hidden port. Coming into the inner bay - you realize why. You have to do a zig-zag turn past a couple of breakwaters - it looks very intimidating. Once inside, it opens up to a huge bay with over 120 moorings. We picked up a mooring and are sitting here until Friday or so. There is currently a gale blowing on the outside of the Baja, and some of it's going to flop over the mountains into the
sea. Since this is a very protected bay, we thought we stay here and let things settle down. It's been very hot here - averaging around 95 or so every day (85 degrees by 8:30 in the morning!)and the humidity about 12%. Monday we walked about 1/2 mile up the street to the Tripui trailer park. They have a restaurant and a small tienda. The folks at the tienda felt bad that we had to walk back with several bags, so they gave us a ride. Yesterday was chore day - laundry etc. Today we had a taxi
take us the 13 miles into Loreto to do some shopping. We did some shopping, had lunch and went to the grocery store. We SHOULD now have enough food to get us back to the Cabo area by the 11th of June (but don't bet on it!). Sure wish there was a way to show you all some of pictures of this area, it's really pretty!
