Ah La Ventana


Excuse the typing as I am using the laptop in my lap from the beach in La Ventana. Just watched the sunrise and it looks to be another clear 80 degree day.
I think we'll put the boat in the water later this morning and drag some lines; do some snorkelling; site see......
Weather in Bahia Conception was a bit cool and breezy last week; I hope they are getting this warmer weather now.
We will probably head to La Paz in the next few days for some shopping and our ritual lunch at La Perla. We will hope to find Iflyfish in La Paz to keep our streak going; we have seen him at Asuncion and El Requeson already. He is a wonderful man with an absolutely amazing wife; we have enjoyed their company. (You should have seen the amazed look on Juan's face when he told me she went snorkelling at San Roques Island with no wetsuit !!)
Not that any confirmation is needed but we ate THE best tuna we have ever had from the 50 pounder Iflyfish landed.
We are in La Ventana for a few weeks, maybe a side trip to Todos Santos while we're here. Posting pictures from webmail is beyond me so you'll have to wait until we get home ! Sorry !

I'm glad you found some warmer weather...it was gorgeous here the last few days if ya don't mind the ground shaking and booming. I too was amazed and proud of Ms.Iflyfish for snorkeling in the buff....well almost. I have bad news about little Lucy...Martillo I think stepped on her foot when she was trying to kiss his nose and so Jorge and I set her poor little broken leg and she is hobbling around on her "cast" and needs a boost up to her pillow on the couch. Miss you guys and look forward to seeing you on the flipside Diver....love to all there is La Ventana...look up a pal of ours Bud in an old blue pickup with a cabover camper. He was declared mayor of San Roque for several months.

Skipjack,

There is a wifi connection available for $30 per month unlimited through a local vendor behind Pablo's restaurant. I works in most of the area. You just need a good wifi card or externaql antenna like I have. See my post about wifi a month or two ago.

Yikes Shari,

I was thinking bathing suit !!

My wife was on the phone this morning telling her sister how the visit with you and Juan and Sirena was the best experience of our trip so far.
Thanks again and see you again in a few weeks.

If anyone is interested I Have the high powered WiFi card diver has with connector and 9db antenna. I can't use it because the connector in my laptop is not working so had to go with a weak usb card. $75.00 for complete setup.
