Day Trippin' With Friends

What to do on a windy day on the Baja? (of which there are MANY!) Take a day trip with friends!

Del and Linda drove over one morning and asked us if we wanted to ride with them over to La Ventana - a place along the beach which is known for high winds and lots of kite surfers!  We said sure and joined them!

First on the agenda though was lunch in El Triunfo - this is an old mining town that has a couple of great restaurants and museums.  We stopped at their favorite place to eat and the courtyard garden was just beautiful - and lunch was AMAZING!!

 Before our meal came, they brought us slices of the bread at the right of the picture - it was a cranberry walnut bread with a dipping sauce - wow was it good!!  And you can purchase whole loaves if you want to (which I should have but didn't!!).

We walked by these beautiful shutter doors which houses a museum!

I have no idea what this building is but I thought it was a true picture of an old style Mexican building!

While the guys walked back to get the car, Linda and I went to the piano museum - it was filled with OLD pianos and a few instruments.  When the miners came to work the mines, their wives insisted on bringing their pianos - I can't imagine getting these heavy items over the rutted roads back them.  Some of the pianos dated back to the late 1800's!

Then we drove on to La Ventana - and yes it was WINDY!!

There were dozens of kite surfers out there just loving that wind!

 Over at the Bay of Dreams, we saw this car - pretty unique!!

It was a fun filled day with friends!
