Campo Rene for lunch!
We decided to hit up Campo Rene for lunch with our Idaho amigos and bajanomad Texas Pigiron. It was a gorgeous day to go:
Imagine our surprise when we ran into the San Ignacio contingent!!
We also met up with dear friends who are spending a couple weeks there - they brought us some goodies we had ordered:
Lunch was really delicious - my order was for tacos de camaron gobernador which is 3 tacos on a corn tortilla with shrimp n cheese inside, guacamole
and Mexican bandera salsa on the side. Ohhhh so good
The waiter (whose name I think is Eduardo) speaks English really well and took very good care of us.

Nice report Blanca!
The last time I was there they only sold hamburgers... We made PB&Js, instead.
When I research that part of Baja, I will order those tacos, see you then!

Blanca, I thought that was you I saw. I was just finishing fishing and pulling my boat home.
The waiter' name is Jesus or "Chuy". Born and raised in Abreojos. Worked on a cruise ship for years and speaks English.

Did you see us as we drove by La Baliza looking for Fishhead Dave?
He does speak English so well and it was a pleasure for our friends to be able to ask him questions about the menu.
upgrades? not that I could see, but the two new cabins are there and look as pretty as ever.
It was a perfect day for C Rene and we plan to go back again soon.

Runway
Was just wondering if the runway is still in use and if so, how did it look.
