Birthday trip to San Rafael, Bola and GN
Whew, it was a whirlwind birthday trip...first night we took the road to El Arco to San Rafael...a very long, rough in many spots road...after more
than 3 hours we finally made it to Franciscos place but it was totally socked in with a freezing cold fog. But Juan did a quick dive to get dinner
which we shared with Don Pancho. Luckily at sunset it cleard up for about half an hour so I could take some photos and warm up a bit. It is a
beautiful beach with a stunning laguna but too many stingrays for our liking and the water was still VERY cold...so no bikinis or thongs that day.

Pancho has a couple of palapas to camp in...bring beer and smokes to him as he is WAY out there man...halibut fishing off the beach is supposed to be
pretty good. Great spot if ya like remote camps! and you can lauch your boat there too...I would definately enter from Bola though, not el arco.

Because of the chilly fog, we pushed on to BOLA in the wee hours to have breakfast with Juan's relatives there...the road from San Rafael to Bola is
very good, they are working on it more too...it was about hours. We arrived in GN to find Los Caracoles full...they are also building a big
store/restaurant/disco complex next door to be completed very soon. So some amigos stayed at Posada Don Vicente where we help our predinner warmup
party at which we marveled at his little chuparosa right in the middle of our deck party.

As it was very cold and windy we chose to remain in GN to party with our buddies instead of camping in the lagoon. So we got a very nice room for $15
at the Minimotel Asuncion which is located on the next street past the hospital. It is a lovely small hotelito...very clean with a wonderful
courtyard.
