Tom,
I have a Nikon D50. I'm still at the point and shoot level, as if it were a 35mm in my hand. Someday I'm going to study the destruction manual and learn how to do fancy stuff.

Joe,
Your kids will love it. There are turtles next door to Campo Archelon for them to see, but there is a fee now to see them. I was told that Antonio retired and the program was taken over by the Government. I believe the charge is $2 - $5. but I'm not sure.

If you get a panguero to take you out to the whale sharks, you should go before 9 am. If the water is choppy you will have a very difficult time finding them and once you do, you won't see as much. You have to hit the back bay when it's "oily glassy" before the wind chop comes up.

The dorado are still there, according to a friend of ours who lives there.

I understand the "leave town NOW" syndrome. We suffer from it daily.

Enjoy your trip and show us your photos when you get back!

Hi Paulina,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Rather than hijack your thread, I'm going to write a separate post regarding the kids in BOLA.

Great report and pics, Paulina. You don't need to read the book! Will see you again - someday.

WOW! This is a great side of Baja. Paulina, thanks for putting me in the Baja mood. I have no idea where some of these places are, but I sure need to find out. Those pics are great. There is so much of Baja to experience.

Thanks for the report Paulina. The whale shark pictures are cool. It's great to know ‘the Bay’ remains alive and willing to share its’ treasures from time to time.

And the yellowtail picture, well that provides the final piece of data to complete the long standing research project which when published will be titled:

"Long term effects of eating beer batter pancakes in the Midriff Islands, Sea of Cortez”:lol::lol:

Wiley,
You can't imagine the size of the smile I'm sporting right now! I think it's time for you to make a return visit. I'm hosting. 5 k south of town. Our place is yours.

Ken,

I don't know if I should start a new thread, or continue on from here. I'm leaning towards the latter of the two. This guy made me so mad that I don't know where to begin.

Edit, and come to think of it. I'm also mad about gated communities. Flash backs of JR come to mind. Ugly Americans and those who feel like they need to lock people out, we ran across both types this summer. I was on a rampage at one point, and I think the internet community was lucky that I did not have internet access at the time.

Speaking of Internet access -- part of the problem or the solution? What say you, Paulina?
