The Road Home

Our last few places we visited in Mexico were some of the places we liked the best. We were lucky enough to meet up with some great people living in San Carlos, which is on the mainland side of the Sea of Cortez. What a beautiful place and Bill and Kathy, a couple from Bend, made us feel right at home. We were able to stay in our truck right on the beach next to their condo and they were so kind to let us hang out, eat, shower, do laundry, and sea kayak. We felt very spoiled. Their daughter and her boyfriend were also visiting so we had a great time hanging out with them as well. Such a wonderful and generous family.
The terrain and climate in San Carlos is much like the Baja, so naturally we loved it there. We also went out of town and stayed a couple of nights on the beach across from a beautiful little island, called Cactus Island.


I looked for shells and read and Ozzie hiked in the desert. We could have stayed there a week. However, it was time to head north.
It was an interesting trip home. We were in some very cold weather and also were stuck in Vegas for a day. Luckily, we found some hot springs in Austin, Nevada. Ozzie drove right to this beautiful steamy pool at about 10:30 at night after a long day of driving. The temperature outside was about 5 degrees. We enjoyed warming up in this pool before we went to bed and when we woke up.

It has been fun to visit all of our friends here in Bend. We are going to continue traveling a bit and head up to Washington state to visit our families. Then, our plan is to move to Malo, Washington in the next month. The adventure continues and we will keep updating our blog.
Adios,
Lyndi and Ozzie
