SF short recap
We went to San Felipe October 24,25,26. On the 24th it was very humid like summer time hot & humid. We stayed down at San Antonio's K43 on the road
to puertecitos Friday and Saturday. It was very green and beautiful. There were catapillers everywhere. They were yellow with black stripes and I mean
it seemed like millions of them. The beach was refreshing as we sat in our beach chairs in the water drinking cold pacificos. It reminded me of how we
stayed cool at the river.
Saturday my dad and I rode the motorcycles down to Huerfanito's. This was my first time on this road and I can understand what all the talk is about
this road now. On the way back we stayed on the gas a little more and it was a better ride.
Saturday and Sunday the weather was very windy a big difference from Friday.
Staurday My dad went home so my wife, son and I decided to stay in town at las missiones hotel. They had a 25% off promotion so the rooms were $65 a
night plus tax. We stayed in room 516 and it was in need for some help on the upkeep. Oh well we really didn't mind but we were suprised. A quick trip
to bar miramar to watch the end of the world seies and we were off to dinner. Saturday night we ate for the first time at the red lobster restaurant.
I've been going to San felipe for many years and have never eaten here. It was very excellent, price, service,atomsphere and taste. I had the quail
and my wife had the fettuccine. Appetizers were calamari and roasted muscles. We drank 2 beers and 2 sodas and the bill was only$37...I give this
place 2 thumbs up and would recommeded it. After a trip to the the ice cream shop it was back to the hotel. Sunday on the way home the military check
point was about a 25 minute wait. The border wait was about 45 minutes throuh the east port. Paul

How is the costa azul and what price range are they ? They are in a good location for walking the town and not having to worry about driving. I'm
just glad they finally finished that hotel. It was in limbo for so long...Paul

Red Lobster and Costa Azul
We had dinner at the Red Lobster several months back and loved it. But it is not a typical San Felipe restaurant. In my mind it was similar to the
old days at Ensenada's El Rey Sol, very tasty, refined, up-scale and high quality. Very attentive service. Reasonable prices considering the above.
We have never stayed at the Costa Azul, but were informed many years back, just after they began construction, that some materials they had used to
build the basic building were radioactive and they had to wait all those years to complete the construction. This story makes no sense considering
the radioactive materials' half-life, etc, but that's what we were told for years.
