It was hard to leave the beautiful sandy beaches of San Felipe, but there are more of those to come! We stocked up on some groceries at the Calimax. It was nice to see they were doing temperature checks and lots of sanitizing at the door. Good little grocery with great quality produce. I got a tip to grab some fresh prawns from a guy selling them on the corner across from Calimax. Sure enough, he was there and they were huge. A kg for around $200 pesos. Our destination for the day was Bahia de los Angeles, 330km. The road was descent and we arrived in the late afternoon. Not much going on in town, but we stopped and grabbed some ice cold beers and headed out to La Gringa, north of town. We drove around the beach looking for a place to set up camp for a couple nights. Being sand newbies, we forgot to air down the tires and promptly got ourselves stuck! Just as quick we were unstuck .. the new maxtrax work like a dream! We set up and hopped in the cool, but crystal clear water for a swim. Just at dark a couple came around to collect $ for camping. The woman explained her husband was hired by the owner of the land to keep the beaches clean and collect Campers garbage. She was the local Dr. in town and said she hoped we wouldn’t ever need her services lol. She promised someone would be back tomorrow to collect our garbage and sure enough they did. 200 pesos for two nights on a garbage free beach 
All seemed perfect until one of us started to have an upset stomach close to bed time... Lori was certain she knew what she had done. Backup a day to San Felipe.. A guy in a truck came by with pineapples in the back. Lori thought, oh awesome, I’ll buy a pina. Turned out he was selling pina colada’s, I knew soon as i heard a blender start I wasn’t getting a whole pineapple. My first thought is covid.. and so I immediately poured the fancy drink into our own two glasses for us to share and sanitized my hands. BIG mistake, should have just thrown it away but I couldn’t bring myself to, we know better ..back to our first night at La Gringa and Cory is violently vomiting outside the camper. We managed to still enjoy sunrise swims and lots of naps to feel better. Woke up to a pod of dolphins right outside our camper window and the bird watching was just amazing. Well worth the stop ?
