Good seeing you and Bia. Explored some secret beaches north of town today and could not believe all of the standing water along the way. Crazy how much rain has fallen this year. Hope your next vacation comes quickly!

Thank you for fun trip report. Looks like a great 11 days. Loved the whales.

I'm curious anout the trailer setup. Any interior shots to share? In addition to the reinforced roof, What other changes did you do to prep for staying put in BOLA?

Trailero is on the east side of the road just a bit south of the fish processing plant just south of the san miguel toll gate. El Poblano is an off shoot of the one in ensenada according to the person slinging tacos and they are good!!! right across from the cowboy hotel in GN. we also ate at Valentino's in San Vicente on the way home after remembering a reco from here. 2 doors south of the Pemex. VERY GOOD food.

no interior shots. it's bacically just got 2 beds, a refer, sink and shower/toilet. all i did to the trailer was retro to LED lights, bought a 45 watt solar steup to run the lights and refer, had a new cooling unit and one of the borads replaced in the refer and that's about it. oh, and i was on the fence about buying a break controller. best $120 i spent in a long time.

i got in on the ground floor as far as leasing goes and figured i'd jump at the chance and see where it goes..... Catch One For Curt!

For over 20 years Valentino's has been one of our regular stops because of the family and the very good food! Glad you enjoyed it.

Congrats on the trailer and I hope you have many years of great times in BOLA and the surrounding areas!

Nice trip photos, amigo. I could see Curt riding with you in your surf pictures. I think of him often as I'm in the water or at the beach! We all have this sweet feeling for Baja. Hasta. Tomas
