Puerto Peñasco. No one else on the beach for several miles. Friend Sue F. and I explored the estuary by kayak yesterday (see Sue kayaking at right) and then it took us about two hours to make it back to a point that would have taken 10 minutes on foot. Lesson learned, today we headed out at high tide, early in the morning, and rode around on a sea that felt more like a lake for three hours of easy paddling. We were scouting for dolphins and finally did have an encounter with one who was traveling solo.

Nice to come back into our rented beach house and relax without answering phone calls or replying to emails!
