Cottage Cheese Beach.
'Geoglifo da la Unidad' by Francisco Hernandez Zamora. He calls his works arte de la tierra.
I am guessing that was taken several years ago based on more recent observations showing degradation of the work of art?

On Bahia Concepcion...
...around Playa Buenaventura, as I remember. The white-wash paint has all but faded away now.
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Judy, you need to translate 'cottage cheese' into Spanish...
The outlined lava flow is just south of there...

And the winner is...Rose Marie
Si, Senorita o Senora, yo no se cual.
La Perla. Only one night so didnt meet Rosa. Unless she is a heavy set young woman, she has a beautiful relatively new baby.
There must have been 1000 dead rayas not too far from us(fortunately long dead). Many looked like sting rays...can you eat them?
Thanks, David, for the translation. Never thought about what that meant but knew cheese was involved

Shower with fabulous view!!! Rosa lives in the little shack that is located on the hill overlooking the beach. She lost her husband to cancer a few
years ago and her children now help her run things. The gringo's who have camped at LaPerla for years help her by bringing provisions from the states
when they come or by bringing supplies in from Mulege.

For those who wonder, cottage cheese in Spanish is 'requeson'... El Requeson is the small island that connects to the mainland of Baja at low tide via
a sand peninsula. I have camped there in '66, '76, and '85.
Is 'La Perla' near there?

It is the next place to camp just south. I have the same photo of the Geoglyph of Unity taken from cottage cheese.

Rosa is fine
and it is one of our main stopping places for both north and southbound trips. My dogs like it there!
But, be advised, I have seen the plans for development including Requeson and La Perla.
It is going to be a club med type resort with some high dollar homes thrown in as well. I hope Rosa and her family will benefit from this in some
way.
I will also add that, the road up to El Cardonal is soon to be paved as well. Say adios Amigos, the Baja we knew is soon to be a memory.

Fry the wings in butter and garlic
and they are quite similar to lobster.

I find it strange that a card-carrying 'Baja Nomad' does not know about batrays...stingrays...leopard rays, etc. For mucho decades they had been made
into: machaca, fake scallops with a cookie cutter(most of those scallops you eat and have eaten are ray!), soaked in saltwater overnight and made
into poor-man's lobster. We had our first taste over 30 years ago...wonderful!

Manta/scallops
Last March we camped at Requeson for several days. One morning I watched the locals depart in their panga and return several hours later. They had put
out their gill net the night before and hit the jackpot. I watched with binoculars from the comfort of my chair in front of palapa number 4 as they
proceeded to lug the net out of the boat and pulling each manta out of the net and plopping it on the beach, I stopped counting the mantas they were
pulling out of the net after about 50. They were all sizes, small, medium, large. I observed (again from a comfortable distance) as the group set up
their production line. One guy would cut the 'wings' from the body, the next guy would do some trimming and then pile the portion left at the feet of
another guy who would pick them up and put them on a makeshift table and using a round sharp object, possibly a sharp tin can, would proceed to punch
out a small circular portion of meat from the wing. He would then put them in a large plastic bin full of water and another fellow would fill zip
lock bags with the pieces.These guys worked from 9:00 AM until about 4:00 in the afternoon, taking turns at each task. Just as the sun was starting to
set, up to the palapa walks one of the guys from the production line ( he had changed into a clean shirt still wearing the blood stained cutoff jeans)
asking if we were interested in purchasing the very large zip lock full of very large very fresh scallops for a very good price. I asked "es manta?",
he stated,smiling broadly"no se?or es escalop". We had plenty of food and were leaving the next day so we respectfully declined the offer. They did
look tasty.
