In the morning I decided to ride with them and we set off toward San Quintin. We ended up camping at El Eden, an RV park which ended up being beautiful. Lush, soft grass to camp on with showers and bathrooms. Much appreciated. We shared a small make-shift thanksgiving dinner of chile and corn bread. Mmmmm. The children that live here were stoked we were there. They nervously approached and watched us prep camp. Bobby played the banjo for them and Alix broke out a Chinese finger trap. The kids ended up taking us on a tour of the property before we hit the hay. There was also a really cool dog that seemed to like me.
The next morning we packed up camp and made an attempt to reach some inactive valcanos, but just couldnt get to them. We ended up finding an amazing and absolutely beautiful stealth campground in a bay near San Quintin. It was great! The views were spectacular and it was all very peaceful.
Again, we woke up and headed to the grocery store to stock up on food for the day and night. While Alix and I were shopping, Bobby made a connection with a man named Dewey. Dewey invited us over to have an official Thanksgiving dinner! Dewey and his wife are missionaries and hosted this dinner for maybe 15-20 locals. It was amazing!!! HUGE feast with pies, cookies, soda and everything nice. We are full. Dewey gave us the key to an extra apartment on his property and are letting us sleep here for free! Hot showers, heated room with beds and wifi. Couldn't be happier. Dewey arranged for two guides to drive us to the valcanos. Alix and Bobby accepted the offer and took the trip out there. I stayed here and hung out, relaxed and talked with Dewey for awhile about the locals and history of this area.
It's really tough to write posts for each day, far after the day is over. Sorry for the vague attempt. Anyway, pictures....
Love all of this! Also looks like you're getting a little taste of the ex-pat community life. It's sounds like you're living in every moment!
