Pool birthday pictures Aug 9, 2018

July 22, 2018, Kingman Downtown

First picture is our NEW Circle K.  It's been open a month or so.  Very busy every day. 
There is a food and WiFi bar inside, and some outside seating.  Lots of Deli food, plus homemade Pizza , salads and sandwiches.  And, my favorite selection of gas station coffee.  2.2 miles from the house.

All the rest are some shots taken in Old Town.  It was hot, I didn't try to get it all.  Just a few places to give you an idea of one street.  Route 66 is one block over from Beale street where I took most of these.  When the weather cools down,  I plan to take some more and better pictures of some of the new and old buildings and businesses here in our sort of new Home Town.

Our 2017 Vulcan S bike.  Really enjoying it.

So True

Highway 1 in Mexico. Following a large motorhome pulling a Hummer. It had rained the night before. Our van was a total mess by the time we got to Loreto!

Karen's shoes. She just had to get into the water!

These ladies prepared out Continental breakfast. Fresh fruits, all cut and served in large bowls, fresh baked sweet breads and wonderful coffee. This was one of the motels we stayed in.

Eifel (of the Eifel Tower) built this church in France. He designed it and had it prefabed. It was shipped here to Santa Rosalia and put together with rivits. It's all steel, but beautiful inside.

Our cottage for the night at Bahia de Los Angeles. It was clean and cozy.

Papayas waiting to ripen!

So the story goes.....There was a legend that the right arm of this figure in front of the old church was showing the way to buried treasure left by the Spaniards. After many people spent years looking, one man was very upset at spending all his time and money, so he climbed up and broke off the arm. Inside, he found a treasure map. He followed the directions and became rich. Well......that's the story.

Many of the street vendors sold fruit cups like these for a buck. We ate our share!

On the outskirts of San Ignacio

A side wheeler with a big back hoe mounted on the bow. They must use it to keep the channel open.

What a pair!

Palms and cactus here in San Ignacio

Lots of colorful buildings in Mexico!

I just love this picture of a lady cleaning and sorting beans. This was in the Angel Cafe, in Santa Rosalia.

Mexican drag boat. I used my 12x optical telephono for this shot.

Preston found the Margaritas to be excellent (and strong)

This little restaurant is suppose to be the most romantic spot on the Baja. According to Clement Salvadori, of Rider Magazine. Clement wrote an excellent book about his many years of traveling on the Baja.

Mexican Lighthouse at the entrance to Mulege river.
