What bugged me about the expats, is that they were loud, and smokers. And the american barkeep only waited on his favorite people. The waitress was
also the same. She did not wait on customers in order of appearance. She waited on them in order of regularity.
Mulege IS a gorgeous town, man, but when you can't move around or find a place to park...it's gotten too crowded.
Los Barriles is another place where Americans try to influence their lifestyle into the local community.

Sounds like you need a different bar? How about El Patron at the end of the north side river road... or Ray's Place back inland?

For you Facebook fans, I have posted the same trip report, but added ALL the trip photos, (about 650) however.
Lots of awe-inspiring sunsets!

Yes, Ken, and directly across the street is the Goat Birria stand. The place was totally empty when we stopped there, and as soon as others saw that
there were some Americans at the stand, the place immediately filled up.

You caught Scotty on a bad day. Scotty is usually very cordial and down to earth. My friend and I watched a couple of football playoff games a week
ago there and experienced good service. (we are not locals)
No doubt an expat hangout and is not your cup of tea, Jungle Jims is also a popular expat hangout.
I have to say that this year Mulege was the slowest I have seen it in over 20 years. Many of the local business owners were making the same comments.
We stayed in 3 hotels coming and going, Jardines (San Quintin), Las Casitas (Mulege) and El Morro (Santa Rosalia), all without any reservations. We
only saw american guests at Jardines.

Wow! I just looked at all 650+ photos Udo!
My, you sure did like the sunset at Asuncion (~60 photos) and the one at San Quintin was pretty cool too.
Thanks for the heads up!

Hola, DK!
I know there are many Nomads that are into sunsets and sunrises, ourselves (Jana & I included), and usually take as many as possible of both.I
know some will be bored with so many, but you have not seen my my album of each...there are thousands.
Perhaps I'll do an album of just sunsets and sunrises from all over the world. However, the best of each have been in Baja, Arizona, and Fiji.
