Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Thursday's "Walkabout" Town

Time to hit the dollar store 12 peso store for those things we can't live without: shampoo and toothpaste!

I was SO happy to see my favorite air conditioned cheapo store still open.
Dave told me it had closed...
I think he meant the one that has been closed a long time.

Oh YIPEE!

Didn't see much on my walk, because I made the mistake of buying all this heavy stuff (including shampoo for Carol on Cap Cat) because I WAS so excited about the store being open (doesn't take much to excite me...) and then didn't want to carry all the heavy stuff around...

But I did see these two beautiful doorways.











And saw that Hobie Cats have their little "Cat Clique" too...
I think they were just being nice by letting this panga hang out with them.I wonder if the panga had to bribe the Hobie cats with a nice bottle of wine?
Probably not...
Probably just a Corona.


And I did see that the local sidewalk hazard fixers on the malecon don't need traffic cones.
Why would they need traffic cones?
They have rocks and old pieces of pipes!And I saw this new kind of bottom growth.
It's a plastic bag plant.

Don't you just hate plastic bags... I have a bumper sticker on my car that says "BYObag plastic blows"

In West Texas you know how close you are to a Wal-mart by how many bags are hanging from the mesquite trees. Full tree - Wal-mart around the corner.

Plastic bags are the national flower of Baja...
I re-fill my water bottles a gazillion times. I use canvas bags (but then I am bad and use the plastic ones for toilet trash) and am trying to be good!!!! Can't say that I like Wal-mart tho - ick and they are putting one in here in La Paz...
