arrived too late to visit the Tecate brewery and now it was too early. We did drive by and the smells of the boiling wort were wonderful.
Breakfast at a local taco stand had us ready for the road.
Our travels took us from Tecate through La Rumorosa bypassing Mexicali and on to San Felipe. About 4-1/2 hours of travel.
San Felipe is a very pretty little town situated on the north end of the Sea of Cortez. Lots of hotels, shops, restaurants, bars and vacation property a plenty. A grand Malicon boarders the waters edge. The trouble is, with the falling of the US economy, San Felipe has suffered.
Apparently weekends are busier but for us on a monday, its pretty quiet. The Baja 1000 off road race fills the town for a few days and a shrunken tourist trade remains. The place is kept spotless and ready for more people.
We had a great dinner at a steak
and seafood place next door to our hotel followed to a walk to a seaside bar for a nightcap.
Peter and I will be checking out the fishing. Shopping and sight seeing will fill the remainder of our time here.
Lots to see and do. Should be fun.
