A Trip To San Bartolo

Finding coffee in Mexico the way I like it is usually pretty hard - but when meeting Dave and Leslie for coffee, they did have some so I tried it!  The whip cream and chocolate on top were great but the actual mocha was just OK - better than nothing!!


We headed out on the ATV's to take the back roads to San Bartolo - it was a nice drive with plenty of sunshine!!


When we could go no further due to a fence we took a side road that went up and up and up, since we were driving through the arroyo!  It was a little dicey as soon we came to an actual house right by the road and sitting right in our way was a huge dog.  We stopped the ATV's and Glenn said let's go on through so we did - yes, the dog moved and posed no threat!

We stopped at the little local store to get something to drink and then headed back down another way to have our lunch.  I saw this huge tree with some shade and knew it would be the perfect spot !  Check out that root system!


Some of the scenery we drove by on our way!


Looking down from above!


On the way back, we were driving over this tiny steam of water and all of a sudden there was this huge explosion like sound!!!  Scared us plenty and I just knew we had blown a tire although there were no rocks around!!  I looked down at my legs and there was little bits of foam all over them and foam all under the box that's attached to the back!  We got off and checked the tires and everything else we could think of but it all looked OK - Glenn kept saying it looked like a can of "fix a flat" had exploded but he didn't have any in the box!!

After we got back to town, he realized that there is a hidden tool box UNDER the box on the back (which you can't get to unless you take the box off) and he had never looked in it so there was probably one of those cans inside and it exploded due to the high heat and then hitting the cold water!  Easiest explanation he could come up with!

And a stop at the beach bar!!

Another fun day with friends!
