Punta Chivato at last

We arrived at our friends place at Punta Chivato approximately 800 kms from the US border and 3 days of driving with two overnight stops.  The roads are narrow and curvy with many 'curva peligrosa' warnings and trucks coming towards you taking a little of your lane.


Our friends Jane and Warren who live in Mill Valley, California built Casa Pelicanos at Punta Chivato and they come down for 6 months at a time in winter.


The approach to the house with the large mural wall painted by a friend.


The view from the lounge.




Another, early morning view, closer to the shore. One can see the reason for the name of the house. Pelicans abound.




The birds, pelicans and boobies diving for their breakfast.


This is where I am to be kept a prisoner while Andrew and Jane go on an 8 day hike to the mainland to the Copper Canyon with 5 other women + a woman guide.  Only Warren, Maggie the dog and Choco for company.  It is going to be a hard life I can tell.





A couple of views from the house.  Not bad is it?












Visiting gringoes called in on their quad bikes with Raj their Yorkie.  (Karina, don't let Alistair see this or he will want to go on one too.)  Raj prefers the quad bike to sailing on his owner's trimaran I am told.  They were on their way to La Paz to go sailing.
