The artists are called ‘mermaids’ and there are a half a dozen or so who create the core group for the market. These are joined by other guest vendors and artists, so the market continues to be ever-changing. The market has a beer/drink garden called the Mermaid’s Lounge and many locals have discovered it to be a favorite spot to grab a drink and shop, people-watch, listen to some music and meet up with friends. </span></div>

At the end of 2016 we decided to do some additional exploring in Baja California. We have been to a few of these places before but we got to see some amazing new stuff too! We traveled backwards to our usual routine. It is crazy how things look so different in the reverse order. OK here's a quick rundown of what we did, pictures to follow in order of events, I hope you enjoy!</div>

From Gonzaga bay we decided to traverse the backbone of the Baja via a dirt road that takes you from the sea of Cortes' to the Pacific ocean side of the Baja. It is only about 30 miles of dirt road but it takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete the journey. The road is being paved right now and should be complete in a few years, many bridges need to be built as you will see in the following pics.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Puerto Peñasco to Guadalajara, to Tlaquepaque, to Tequila and onto Chapala</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wow what a trip we just had.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Naomi and I and two of our close friends decided to scout out central Mexico, it was their first time and for us it has been a while since we were there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We started our exploration by taking the morning (not so) express bus from Peñasco to Hermosillo the State capital of Sonora. We stayed the night in a fabulous hotel that was just over the top quality for not very much money. The next morning saw us getting on a plane at the unbelievably early hour of 5:30. Our plane had a name, it was Jose'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In a short 2.5 hours we were touching down in the beautiful city of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. It is a huge city with about 8 million or so inhabitants.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We hired a taxi at the airport and about 20 minutes later found ourselves in Tlaquepaque, a sort of artistic suburb of Guadalajara. We walked and shopped and looked and tasted everything as we went along. I even tried a beer made from Agave cactus, it was sweet and I rather liked it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The boutique hotel we stayed in that night was very centrally located to restaurants and entertainment so we were able to explore the town on foot. Visit this place when you get a chance, you will fall in love with it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next day we were off to Tequila Jalisco. Our plan was to take a taxi to the Central bus station and use public transportation to get there. It is about 2 hours away from downtown Guadalajara, our plans changed when we told our taxi driver what our plans were. He said "I can take you there" I had no idea how much a taxi ride for two hours would be, I thought it would be outrageous but this guy took 4 of us 2 hours to Tequila for 800 pesos (about 44.00 usd) That was amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few words on the magical place known as Tequila......when we go there we want to stay in a little hotel right on the main plaza. We do this because every Friday and Saturday night there is something festive happening in the plaza. On normal quiet days it is so nice to have a cup of coffee or your favorite Tequila sitting in the plaza watching as the little village wakes up.</span><br />

Tequila is a very pretty, proud place!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The town of Tequila is kind of like a work of art that lives. Walking down the alleys and side streets you find so many interesting things. Maybe you want a shlocky tourist gift? Maybe you want serious art? Maybe you just want to taste food and drink? It's all here and in no particular order. We have had simple pleasures here as well as other experiences while visiting this place.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On a tour of the Jose Cuervo plant I discovered something I never knew before. When Cuervo makes their top of the line Tequila (Reserva de la familia) the entire plant is reworked for a whole week. All of the processes to make Tequila change for this one bottle. Once it is made it rest in oak barrels for up to 5 years. If you have a chance to try Reserva de La Familia you will get a sense of the quality and pride that goes into each bottle, you will also spend some money, it is rare and it is not cheap. It is worth every peso though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The land around the town of Tequila is rich. Agaves are everywhere of course. But so is corn. Lately, because of similar processes, lots of whiskey is being made in this little town, this is a new thing from the last time we were here.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When you go to Tequila be sure to take every tour that you can. It is not expensive and you will learn so much. Below is a picture of a guy demonstrating how each plant needs to be harvested. There are no machines that can do this work. These plants are 8-12 years old before they are ready. The piña or center of the plant is what is needed for the production of the drink, each piña has enough juice in it for 6-8 liters of product the rest is used as fertilizer or padding or........</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Mexico's Copper Canyon Revisited!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was over 15 years ago we took our last trip to the famed Copper Canyon of Mexico!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year we had a group of 16 resident of Puerto Peñasco Sonora Mexico ask us to guide them on this magical tour. </span> They would be flying in from their summer homes in the USA to the little town of Los Mochis Sinaloa. It seems simple but even getting to the starting point was a challenge after AeroMexico changed all of its routing at the last minute, forcing all of us to connect through Mexico City (way down there). We were up to the challenge because the adventure to the canyons is so worth it. Besides they say "getting there is half the fun" So some of us landed in Los Mochis on Monday and a few landed on Tuesday morning. Then we were off on a bus to the silver town of El Fuerte (the fort).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a beautiful very old town of about 60,000 people in the mountains east and North of Los Mochis. It has a strong history and historical significance to not only Mexico but the United States as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We stayed here one night after touring the town and meeting some of the locals, it was a great day!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next morning we were up had a cup of coffee and headed to the train station at El Fuerte, we decided to skip breakfast and enjoy the first class restaurant car the the train (El Chepe) offers.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">So after a few hours we were arriving in the train station at Bahuachivo. We then boarded local transportation for the 30 minute ride going towards the Indian village of Cerocahui, we stayed at a lodge outside of the town but only a few minutes away. It is called Paraiaso del Oso because behind the lodge is a rock shaped like Yogi the bear and Oso is Spanish for bear.</span></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">It is a fantastically relaxing place to spend the afternoon - evening and morning. We used this as the home base for our explorations into town and to the edge of the cliffs a few hours away.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After our wonderful stay in Cerocahui we boarded the train to go further up into the canyon-lands. Next stop was the Mansion Tarahumara, a older hotel which was built out of stone quarried from this area. New rooms were added a few years ago so you can wake up to the sun coming up over the canyon. When you step out onto your balcony the edge of the canyon is right below you. It is breathtaking!</div>

The series of canyons that make this system complete start in the State of Sinaloa and go all the way into the State of Chihuahua. It is here where the Tarahumara people live, mostly tucked away in little villages in the complex of canyons. Once upon a time the only way through the canyons was on animal or by foot. The Tarahumara people are known as the runners, they can move very quickly through the canyons on foot. Then something that took over 100 years to create happened. It was 1961 that the railroad from the sea of Cortes at Topolobampo to Chihuahua was inaugurated and opened to the public. This opened the door for people from around the word to experience the majestic canyons and rivers and waterfalls personally and up close.<br />

Like travel anywhere we are set for adventure for ourselves and that often involves getting to better know the locals and show an interest in how they live, what they do and etc. The places that we visit in the canyon sometimes are people personal homes, however they do not feel that they are being trespassed. They enjoy showing us foreigners their life.</div>

<b>DECEMBER 2013 </b>Many of you may have followed our postings on Facebook as we traveled down the Baja to Guerrero Negro and onto Muleje and Loreto. However, here is a photo journal of our trip.<br />
Our daughter, Beth joined us for the trip as she had some end-of-the-year time off work.<br />

<b>DAY 1: Penasco to Ensenada. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b>I guess we just really didn't take so many photographs on this first day as we have all traveled this road several if not many times before...We decided to turn south at Tecate and drive thru the Guadalupe Valley - Baja's wine country. The vineyards were empty of leaves and dormant. But it is a beautiful drive regardless. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Little did we know then, that in just a few days our option of traveling to Ensenada by way of Rosarito would be nearly made impossible by a crazy event of nature.<br />
Just 6 days later and this option is no longer an option. <br />

We checked into our downtown hotel, wandered the streets and found a stop for dinner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our drive today was about 350 miles. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> DAY 2: Ensenada to Guerrero Negro. </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started our second Day slowly without a care in the world... Thinking we had just a slightly longer day today (only 20 or 30 miles more today...) However, after a long slow road outta town and then a tedious series of ridiculous, mind-numbing construction zones, and we suddenly realized we had averaged only 30 miles per hour for our first three hours of the day!<br />
It was close to noon and we had barely moved down the map! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the road opened up and we hurried along the highway with views of the ocean off to the right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Noticing on the map a Sea Lion Sanctuary we took off on a rugged dirt road towards the ocean. After driving quite a way, we were debating if we had turned wrongly, when we spotted a small fishing camp out on the beach. We continued down to it and there was a small parking lot and a weird overlook. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was not until we stood on the overlook that we finally saw the sea lions basking in the sun inside of a open cave where the ocean water rushed in and out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From our overlook they looked like giant slugs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But with the zoom lens, we soon realized they had spotted us, too!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Returning to the highway (and now hours behind schedule!) we began a search for a lunch stop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Russ knew of Mama Espinosa's and there it was on the road as we drove through El Rosario. It was an excellent lunch stop. We each tried a different menu item and we were all satisfied! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Cheeseburger, Fish Tacos, Mexican Food and fresh Crab Soup) Delicious choices. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Departing El Rosario, we chased the fading sunlight and shadows down the road. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scenery abruptly changed as we moved inland.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Desperately aware that we were some 220 miles from our destination and being practically the shortest day of the year, our daylight seemed to be fading fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then we took note of one small detail on the map . . .OOPS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were no gas stations noted for miles and miles (. . . and miles!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Entering the small and quiet town of Catavina, several enterprising guys were set up selling gasolina....<br />
Surely, we don't really need to buy gas off of the side of the road.<br />
But there were other cars lined up and we stopped.<br />
After calculating and re-calculating, we decided to not risk running out of gas after dark in the desert of Baja. (Really? How surprising! I guess we just are not as adventurous as we could be...) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We bought 5 gallons for 350 pesos and Yes, we did consider it a bargain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just past this small town, we drove across what looked like a spring with water on the road<br />
and an oasis of palm trees. Then, immediately it was back to the Desert! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Into a vast cactus forest, we were soon nearing the Protected area of
the "cirios" or so said the map.<br />
Being completely unfamiliar with
this term, we did not realize these are a bizarre type of
cactus or tree.<br />
We would see thousands of these as we continued on thru our
trip.<br />
The desert seemed at times to be perfectly landscaped just for
the tourist.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span class="srTitle">FACT: </span></b><span class="srTitle">The cirios is the same as the boojum tree</span>, a unique species that is an unusual plant </i><br />
<i>found native only in the deserts of Baja and Sonora, Mexico. </i><br />
<br />
Really beautiful!<br />
But oddly in a "Dr. Seuss'
Garden" sorta way. </div>

Long after dark, and with 375 miles on the odometer, we finally arrived at Guerrero Negro. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We checked into a hotel and searched for a taco stand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Guerrero Negro is NOT home to any luxury, up-scale hotel chains that we could find.<br />
The place doesn't seem to be a place that invites the snow bird to hang out all winter.... It is more of a stop-over point for travelers or a place to sleep at night while you go in search of whales during the day.<br />
However, we found a quiet hotel with a helpful host and a nearby 24 hour cafeteria (with hot coffee) and a taco stand. . . Pretty much the basics for Mexico.<br />
<br />
Once we found there would be no whale watching this time (the season will not start here until January),<br />
we anxiously hit the road.<br />
Just to be sure they were telling us the truth, we drove out to the entrance of the Estero.<br />
We were stopped by a guard for the salt mine. Apparently, this salt mine is massive, employing 750 full time workers. The salt deposits continue miles out to the ocean bay. Creating an almost non-ending supply of salt. This is thought to possibly have something to do with why the whales arrive here to have their babies.<br />

Ignacio has been a favorite for travelers since the mission days,
surrounded by mesas, the oasis, being a respite for many a Baja traveler." </i>(www.bajainsider.com)<br />

The old El Morro hotel sits above the town and has spectacular views.<br />
The hotel was built in the late 1800s<br />
and has that somewhat romantic "lost in time" feel to it. <br />

Visions of Mulege and Loreto have been with us for years.<br />
And today we are off to explore.<br />

Peaceful and tranquil.<br />
But there are plenty of obvious signs of the intense flooding they've experienced in the past few years.<br />
<br />
Just south of Mulege, is a row of beaches that lay along "Conception Bay". <br />
They are BREATHTAKINGLY FANTASTIC!<br />
Let the photos tell the story! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our original plan was to take the Ferry across the Sea of Cortez
from Santa Rosalia to Guaymas<br />
and return to Penasco up the coast.<br />
Well… our
first clue that this might be a bit “iffy” was in Guerrero Negro where the
hotel manager mentioned that he would gladly call the Ferry office for us and see if it would
be going that Friday. hmmm...?<br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Then, in San
Ignacio the restaurant owner was explaining how the weather has been changing
so drastically the last few years which <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>has affected tourism – both the whale watching
and<br />
the reliability of the Ferry crossings. hmmm...? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, on our return to Santa Rosalia we were a day early – to determine
if the ferry would be arriving from Guaymas that day (in preparation to its
return the following day). </div>

Here is what we found posted at the ticket window: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<br />
Basically, no trip today.... because of the weather<br />
(a seemingly beautiful, sunny day - yet, apparently windy out in the Sea.) <br />
And, .<b><i>"Muy probable" </i></b> there will be a trip in a couple of days...<br />
Not so very reassuring. <br />
<br />
As a option we had been told that the road to San Felipe was mostly paved now.<br />
Only a 35 mile stretch was very, very slow going.<br />
A restaurant waiter in Mulege said that all you had to do was be patient<br />
and in 35 miles you would be "rewarded".<br />
He said it cut 5 hours off of the Mulege to Mexicali trip.<br />
Interesting information to sleep on.<br />
We returned to Guerrero Negro that evening.<br />
We chose a different hotel on this return trip; but were not any more impressed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DAY 6: Guerrero Negro to San Felipe </b><br />
The next morning we left Guerrero and when the NEED for breakfast overtook us, we found a<br />
roadside cafe called Mauricio's and stopped. It was a crazy busy little place, where it seemed travelers had called ahead - and briefly stopped to grab take-out orders and then continued on their journey.<br />
The sign out front said we were again entering the Protected area for the Cirios.<br />
This time, we had to stop up the road and get a closer look. <b><br /></b><br />

We decided to venture off the highway and take that backroad to San Felipe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, at Chapala we exited the highway and were soon on a primitive road. </div>

It was an almost pristine desert and we were all relieved for the lack of on-coming traffic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you were wondering, all those comments about the roads on the Baja. . . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah. They are NOT exaggerating - the roads are barely wider than the trucks. </div>

We have visited San Felipe on numerous occasions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, we had never traveled south and had often heard of Puertocitos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were very anxious to see this place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we approached the weird little town of randomly spaced trailers and double wides, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beth commented that to her it looked like "Ajo-by-the-Sea". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Ummm. Yeah. Actually, it kinda does!</div>

Onto San Felipe. For a cruise along the malecon and then a steak dinner.<br />
A comfortable room in a familiar place.<br />
But, sadly our little travel Adventure is over. <br />

We had one more day to our trip, San Felipe to Penasco.<br />
However, our cameras were quiet that day on such familiar roads.<br />

<br />
<br />
Lights, cameras, action.......November was a special month in Puerto Peñasco when a group of photographers and models and crew showed up to do a show and clothing catalog shoot in our lovely little town! There was a storyline behind the shots. There is the original couple, the brunette and the male model. They are on the rocks as he spots her looking at maps and she seems distant.

This was the first day. We did a lot of traveling that day. The models and crew were up at 5:00 and the makeup artist start their work, breakfast at 6:00 am and depart for the first shots at 7 ish.<br />
We started at the Boatyard, then to Sandy Beach, then to Cholla bay, then all the way out to the Pinacate visitors center. We got back to the house at 7:00 in the evening, pooped out......just enough time to do it again the next day!

The biggest change is the weather - which after 2 months of heat and humidity is a welcome change....in a few weeks I will wish that the heat and humidity were back I am sure, but for now it is pleasant out there.
The other change is the huge number of folks that find their way down here for a few days, or a week or a month or even the whole season. They arrive here in cars, planes, motorhomes, shuttles and of course Motorcycles. (I have seen people walking but not sure where they were coming from)
Here's a little snapshot of what Peñasco Recreation Co did in October and beginning of November.<br />

<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>Guerrero Negro, Baja Mexico</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">The
facts are that Guerrero Negro (Black Warrior in Spanish) is the mating
and birthing area for Grey whales. They migrate annually from the
Bering sea in Alaska to this place on the Pacific side of Baja, Mexico.
There is a large lagoon there where the high salinity of the water
makes it easier for the newborn calves to rise to the surface. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;"> Enthusiastic visitors from around the world arrive to Guerrero Negro
in order to live the experience of meeting the Gray Whale in the waters
of Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, where, from December to March, they breed and
give birth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">
This wonderful sight - living it and being amazed by the beauty of
these giants is a experience capable of renew our sense of wonder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">
If this gets you in the Mood to visit - Let us know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,times,times new roman,serif;">
We have a small trip planned for February 2014.</span><br />

This is the first flight connecting Puerto Peñasco to Las Vegas.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eleven of us hopped on-board the RussBuss and winded our way to San Felipe. We went up the new Coastal Highway out of Puerto Peñasco to El Golfo de Santa Clara, then onto the little towns that divide the Coastal Highway from the interstate Highway 5. We found ourselves in San Felipe 5 and a half hours later and enjoyed the afternoon by the pool with Shrimp cocktails and Italian Margaritas.</span></div>

and clear; we could see deep under the calm water. My son and I took the first
ride. Before we knew it, we were kayaking

They are sleek creatures, barely gliding out of the water and then quietly
diving back under water. We continued to
watch in silence. Experiencing the moment! After quite a few minutes, one dolphin started to slap his tail on the

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Later, some online research showed that he
was probably right. Dolphins will slap
the water with their tails for a number of reasons. Repeated tail-slaps directed at a boat may indicate
that the dolphin is "telling" the boat to "back off". Other studies show that tail-slapping could be
linked to feeding or social behaviors; perhaps the dolphin is “calling” other
dolphins to come close because food is near.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">In the
silence of the pedal kayak, we could hear each dolphin as it emerged from the
water making a loud “pooff” sound as it expelled air. Words simply cannot describe what it was like
to be so close to these grand animals in such a quiet atmosphere. Finally, the dolphins made their exit,
swimming away much faster than we could follow. </span></span></span></div>

I was concerned that there would be no luscious bunches of grapes hanging from
the vines and I would be disappointed. Yet the fall colors were really lovely
in the Guadalupe Valley, with the grapevine leaves
turning to gold and to red. The autumn landscape was awe inspiring, with its vineyards,
olive trees and vast gardens which are still being harvested. </span></div>

signature wine, which is called an artisan wine, and each wine bottle includes
that particular lady’s signature. Overlooking the valley, this tiny winery was
simple and tranquil. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am not sure about all
this wine tasting jargon. But, one highlight of our wine tasting came when one
of the wines was described by its “fruitality”. I am just going to say that
“fruitality” is a super cool word. . . it is a noun, I understand. But what a great
word!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wine (made from grapes) has an
obvious fruitality. Of course! Fruitality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Futility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. . . Oh! I get so
confused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

intended) we stopped off at the Hacienda Restaurant (which came highly
recommended by our friend Randi Alcott of Las Conchas) and what a great stop! Down
a side street and thru a dry river bed and completely out-of-the-way, we
searched to find it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is fairly easy to navigate the Biosphere known as Pinacate but the very best way to see it is with a qualified guide.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From Puerto Peñasco to the field station at Nayarit through the gates and following the loop. The loop will take you to Elegante Crater, Cerro Colorado, and back to the field station. Then a short drive down the road to Shuck Toak at Pincate visitors center for an interpretive discussion about this dynamic area. The whole trip is 135 miles and a fairly long day but it is so worth it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Pinacate visitors center is an engineering marvel. It sits just a few miles off the main highway but it feels a world away! It is a totally self sufficient "Green" building. It uses solar and wind for its power, it has rain water cisterns and has a weather station. The audio visual room plays a short documentary about the desert and previous peoples who lived here. </span></div>
