Bahia Candeleros


We left Agua Verde April 18th and headed north to Bahia Candeleros where we heard there was a new resort hotel that had free wifi.  It was also on the way to Loreto where we plan to attend Loreto Fest in a couple of weeks.  While there are cruisers that plan their entire life around their next wifi connection, we are trying not to let it influence our plans too much. 
That's a big jacuzzi!

The resort is in the middle of nowhere in this beautiful cove, with a nice white sand beach.  Our second day here, we decided to visit the resort and see what they had to offer.  It has a very large pool and patio area with 4 pools and a couple of Jacuzzis.  They have a very nice bar and a high end restaurant all situated outdoors on the patio area.  This place was like an oasis.  We had a beer with our friends on Neos and made plans to return that night for a dinner treat at the main restaurant.

The dinner turned out to be one of the better meals we have had in Mexico.  After a couple of very good and large martinis, we found the menu to be extensive and rather reasonably priced for the location.  Cathy ordered her favorite chocolate clams (the color is chocolate, not the flavor) Loreto style.  This is a large platter of 22 clams, each about 3 inch in diameter, covered in cheeses and chipotle sauce and broiled.  The two of us could barely finish her dinner alone.  Rich had a nice piece of mesquite grilled snapper with spicy red sauce that was fantastic.  It was great to have such a nice civilized meal out in the middle of the desert.  Did we mention the free wifi?

We spent a few days here kayaking and visiting other boats.  One day Roger and Sue on Neos taught us Baja Rummy, a card game that takes about 5 hours to play.  Not sure we really understand the whole game yet, but at least we have the basics.
