The Beach

We had some really pretty clouds the other night, we didn't get any rain out of them; but apparently the cities south and north of us did.  As quite often happens the rain went around us; due to the way the hills are situated.

Hard to get a photo without the lines in the way.














We got bored the other day and took a little drive to San Carlos.  We headed to the beach just for a look see, too hot to sit there so we didn't take our swimming stuff.
We stopped first at the Mirador for a look around and then over to Playa Algodones.  We have had a few nice rains and the hills are green and the desert is blooming.  Everything looks lovely.























































After looking around we headed back into San Carlos and had lunch at a new restaurant where someone that we have known since we first came down here is now one of the cooks.  Lunch was OK, nothing exceptional; but edible.
Then home for siesta.

Tancho: Thanks. Amazing what a little rain can do in the desert.
It is sprinkling again this morning, wonder of wonders.

Brenda, your photos are spectacular. You should work for a travel magazine!

Wow, thanks Shannon. I appreciate it, too bad I couldn't get paid for doing something so fun.
I actually just finished reading your blog post about the gardening challenges you guys have faced over the years.
Thanks for the compliment.
