More Clams and Otherwise a Relaxing Day

This will likely be a short post as we had a calm, relaxing day and didn't do too much. We went to shore and I collected another dinner's worth of clams. Mike hiked over a shoreline ridge and discovered that people have been harvesting these same clams for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. The whole ridge was one big shell midden.

We no longer have the place to ourselves, as we figured would happen once the Big Party at Bahia de Los Angeles was over. There are now five boats here, which includes us. There is plenty of room here, so it isn't a problem other than the fact we now have to wear bathing suits. Too bad, but I can deal with that.

Right now we are listening to Elvis Costello and planning to fix some of yesterday's dorado for dinner. I am poaching it, and we are having fried rice with it. Someone asked me what we eat while out here - pretty much the same as we ate on shore, except the selection is limited to what we can get in the little tiendas here in these small Mexican villages here. When we are in La Paz or Mazatlan, we can go to supermarkets just like in the US. In Mazatlan we had Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Home Depot, and Office Depot. But other places there are just little stores. We go to one for dry goods, one for meat, one for produce, and the beer outlets for that most important item. In fact, the reason we may leave here for Bahia De Los Angeles is that we will soon run out of the beer we stocked up with at the end of last month in Santa Rosalia. It always seems like we have plenty - but it can go fast! We never drink while underway, but once we are anchored a cold beer tastes real good. I have a strong feeling I have said all this before, so that is proof I have absolutely nothing new to add today!

I may skip a day or so here, so don't worry - I am just too laid back to come up with anything new. As usual, I wish everyone a really great day!
