San Carlos dolphins never disappoint

Well, here is how it went. The 2008 Bahia Delfin, SanCarlos, Mexico beach roundup ranks in the top 5 of all time Mexico beach roundups. 10 of us plus the fishing guide. As luck would have it, we drew Fritz again. Wow, that’s four times in a row for him. We all met in Tucson arriving via Frontier, rented two vans and drove down. Carpenters, Tengler, Martinez, Waldman & Guthries. Only thing strange about this mix was the 2 foot difference between Michele and Cary. Larry drove the hour to Nogales and most of way to Hermosillo. I was dog tired from last minute packing in Colorado and a 8:30 am departure. We left Louisville at 6:30am. The desert was spectacular. Green all the way down. For the Sornoran desert, it was Technicolor. They must have had record rain fall this summer. Everything was popping. The toll road down highway 15 was lined with flowering cactus and other desert plants. The 5.5 hour drive from Tucson was the usual piece of cake. Most of the repaving was completed and longest delay was long line at one toll plazas. Saw construction of a new toll plaza or inspection station to add to the four we normally see. Got to San Carlos in around 3:30. What a great sight. Catamaran, kayaks and sun tent already on beach waiting. Joan hit water right away since the dolphins were right on cue. So remarkable, dolphins everyday, all day. Right out front. After all these years, still amazing!

Walk to the beach after Mass in San Carlos, Mexico?

Walk to the beach after Mass in San Carlos, Mexico? It is one of the nice things about a small Mexican beach community. You can attend Mass and walk to the beach. So many resort towns have condo towers in one part of town and then the locals have their section. San Carlos is small but has a vibrant local community. The beach community and local community are one in the same.

Many of my friends who come down to visit are surprised how low keyed and peaceful San Carlos is when they first go down Main Street. No traffic lights, one bank, 2 gas stations and 30 restaurants. Talk about keeping it simple. What else do ya need but to give thanks that this place hasn’t been overrun by the not so pretty (at times) American tourists?

If you want to light a candle to the St.Expedia, the patron saint of great low cost travel, here is where you can go. Please make a special intention to keep McDonalds or Dominos out of San Carlos.
