Delicious dinner with Marimar and Oscar.

More taco magic.  Yes, we had to go here again.

It's on the edge of town, but so worth it.

Drive the ranger? Uh..yeah!!

Our Favorite Beach

Of course we had to make a trip to our favorite beach, Las Palmas.

 The walk in.

There were between 0 - 5 other people at this beach while we were there.

Beach chats with Pop and his first born.

Fun with sand and sticks.

Lulu.

Dex.

Master of the beach.

Escuela

Lulu and Pop have been helping fund a new school in Todos Santos.  Now the land has been bought and the preliminary plans have been drawn.  Here we are on the property with chalk marks showing where the buildings will be.  

 Lulu explaining what will be where.

 It's a large piece of land and the plans are exciting.

Maya and Dexter aren't quite as excited about checking out the land.

A quick stop at the beach where the fishing boats launch into the sea. 

Dexter on a beach walk.

Dinner with Marimar, Kalea, and Santi.

Our view from our table.

Ingredients For Happiness

One of the things in Todos Santos that makes us happy...

Riding in the ranger...

...to get these.  Amazing fish and shrimp tacos.

The plain version for kiddies.

Nothing better.

Yum!!

 See...happiness!

Back to the Baja

After two years, we finally made it back to Todos Santos.  

 A welcome site.

Dinner with Lulu, Pop, an auntie and some cousins.

Heading over to Pop's tennis tournament.

This is serious.

Pop didn't win, but his team already had enough points to win the tournament.  Yay Pop!

Lots of helping hands.

Bringing over the kindling.

Time to prepare the campfire.

More building.

Look...baby snake...maybe a rattlesnake?

Marimar supervises with her loyal dogs.

Who is taller, Dexter or Kalea?

The actual fire!

Time for some marshmallows and scary stories!
