A little more news...

It's been a while since I posted so I thought I better update you on the "little things" because there isn't much new going on here. The hot and humid summer came to a close around the third week in October. Everyone told us it's like a switch that turns the humidity off. They were right. One day you wake up to find the cool ocean breeze blowing (instead of the warm one) and the temperatures below ninety. Amazing!

We had our first Vancouver visitors (Bill and Joanne). They stayed at their time share but we were able to get together a few times during the week. They invited us to share their fresh catch (6 Dorado fixed 5 different ways) at their hotel restaurant. There was enough fish for 30 people. It was a culinary delight. We met the friends they traveled down with (very funny people) also from Vancouver. I think everyone had a great time.

The day before they left we took them to Todos Santos (home of the legendary Hotel California). It's unclear as to whether this is the actual hotel that the Eagles' sing about but the folks in Todos Santos are convinced that it's the one and only!

We lunched at a "hippy" health food restaurant in Todos Santos

On our way back we stopped to show them a quaint boutique hotel on the beach of Pescadero (a surfer's Paradise). The owner of the hotel started this project as his private residence. Since then he's turned it into a hotel. It's very Mexican.

The bartender used fresh limes, fresh oranges, and a splash of Sprite. Yummy!
