The view from El Capitan
The food experience took a definite upswing with a sunset dinner at El Capitan, atop a hill overlooking the Rocky Point/Puerto Penasco area. Exceptional food, beginning with a plate of raw oysters, then followed by camarones (shrimp) wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cheese (Janice) and in a mushroom, cream wine sauce (me). Main courses were about $15-$18 .
Today’s adventure was a return to Rodeo Drive, the local strip of turista shops. I purchased a tee shirt there yesterday (size-large) which I subsequently discovered was a bit tight. One washing would make it shrink-wrap. We tried to locate the shop where it was purchase, but Senor shopowner had not yet opened for the day, so I will have to return later. I realize that they likely do not share the Costco return policy, but as the saying goes in Mexico, “There’s no harm in asking.”
Janice has scored a jacket, a necklace pendant and 2 pairs of earrings. Grand total: $45.
Today’s itinerary includes a 1 pm kite flying competition and a group photo. Not owning a kite, we will spectate this one. For dinner tonight, we will be hosting a bring your own BBQ next to our rig with 2 other couples. Might be an occasion to initiate our new margarita glasses. (Yesterday was declared a margarita-free day.)
