Stranded in BOLA!
My wife and I are in BOLA waiting for a mechanic to fix our very dead Suburban (radiator problem). As we while away the hours, any suggestions for
where the good restaurants are, ideally within easy reach of los Vientos (our present exile)? And does this wind ever stop?

I think Dern and Paulina are still down there. Go over and have her whip you up a feast.

Actually, this is not a bad place to be stuck. Cloudless skies, gorgeous water. super-nice people---it could be a hell of a lot worse. Next time I'll
bring a quad; this looks like a great place to explore. We did bring along two kayaks, so if the wind ever subsides, we'll head out that way. Yep, it
could be worse.

We had a cat and a beautiful basset hound wander into our room (we leave the doors open). Which one would you like?

important word (reasonable). . Nancy and Richard

I hear the military kitchen next door ain't too bad. Isn't the kitchen open at los Vientos? The road is paved from your place into town so bikes
would work. Try this link:

Regrettably, the kitchen is open. Nah, I take that back. The poor guy who fills every role from cashier to chef in apparently 24-hour shifts is pretty
good; a little heavy on the salt, food a bit overdone, but we'll survive.
It's too bad he can't get more support. This morning, after 12 people showed up for breakfast, he did his thing(s), then some help arrived for
him--long after the horse had left the barn. A little better management would make this a really nice place.
Gotta go! Sr. Mecanico just showed up, as promised!!!

woody - that is a nice pic ture looking south to Baja.
I am so sorry about the vehicle trouble and I am not sorry to say that La Bocana, miraculously, has zero wind this afternoon.
there are so many nice folk in BOLA, maybe wander over to the museum and make some new friends if it isn't too far ....
