We were thinking it would be a short ride day, but we waited for lunch to have our lobster feast. We thought, going in, that it was 185 pesos or about $15 american for 4 lobster halves and rice and beans and butter and such. Instead it was that price for 4 lobsters - halved. On the down side, the lobsters were only cray fish sized and had no claws.
Still - delish! We headed out planning to see how far we'd get cycling. The first available camp ground was at about 58 km from Rosarito. The posted price was $15 dollars for a car and 4 people, but they tried to charge us 240 pesos or about $20. We were frustrated by this and argued at least for the posted automobile price. That night, the sun went down at 5 pm, and Erin and I were in bed by 5:30 reading and asleep by 6. SIX! We were up again by 5 or 5:30 or so. Dam sunlight determining our fatigue levels.
Bryan and Maggie resolved to stay up longer despite the lighting and met some guys that came a bit later to camp. They had been fishing down the coast and Bryan was able to convince them to sell him a spear gun. A functional one! Bryan had purchased a used spear gun in Phoenix from a fellow he met at a swap meet, but the spear was not straight and he broke it while trying to straighten it. Now, better armed, he is eagerly awaiting his shot with it and his new goggles and snorkel.
Maybe we will have some full size Longostas soon...
The camp ground was at the top of a cliff overlooking the beach. The sunset was nice, but not as impressive as our position seemed to allow for. At Ensenada, however, the sunset was incredible....
