San Pedrito a San José del Cabo

After spending a few relaxing days just outside of Todos Santos in San Pedrito RV park, we decided to check out the cape and are now staying in Brisas del Mar, another RV park. Todos Santos was a really neat area to be in and we were able to walk through touristy markets and even attended a beachfront pig roast. Unfortunately, I suffered a severe case of food poisoning after the pig roast and spent over an hour throwing up, but I learned my lesson.

Over the last four or five days we were fortunate enough to neighbor next to some old friends, Dave and Sue, that we have bumped into on two prior occasions. They provided hours of entertaining stories and surfing advice for Jay. Jay was able to surf at San Pedrito but the waves were so big that he was never able to ride on one for very long. Most of the time he took a beating, but I have to hand it to him because he always went back out there. I spent most of the afternoons reading and trying to plan dinners from the vast array of dried goods available from the van. Jay made fast friends with a couple of Canadian C-boaters and was able to paddle out on the big waves and play for over an hour. I was getting pretty antsy to be back out on the water myself so we headed south today to smaller, friendlier waves. There has been rumors of a swell coming here sometime in the next three days...we are hoping.

For those of you who aren´t familiar, swells are created by storms in the ocean and make waves larger on-shore. For many surfers this is exciting news, but I like the smaller waves best.
