We work early to fog, condensation dripping from roof over the rooms where we ran the heat. By mid-morning the fog had blown back out to sea and the air was pleasant in the sun but still a bit cool in the shade. We had breakfast at Chuy’s Place and it was very good: machaca con huevo y jugo de naranga apretado fresco (shredded beef scrambled with eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice… I think). This was are first visit to Chuy’s, although I had heard good things about it. It lived up to the good reports. Friendly, clean, good food and service. I forgot to get a picture .. will try to catch it next time we go “down town.”

Our home here in San Felipe is only about a half mile from the main roads or the beach. The roads in town are pretty bumpy and it is slightly down hill to the sea, which I suppose is a good thing if there are every any tidal waves. We could easily walk to most anything, but coming back will take some getting use to.

The men from Samisa (the HVAC place) just left and have found and fixed the problem with the new A/C/Htg unit we put in last winter. It was just a mixed up in the wiring. Seems to put out plenty of heat now and turns off properly when it is supposed to.

Chuck seems content to read or play Bejeweled. I’m a bit bored, can you tell? I think it will be better when have Internet access, Satellite Dish and met more people here.

The town looks abandoned. I think all the drug killings in the border towns have scared many of the snowbirds away. Many businesses have closed up. The owner of George’s a long standing restaurant in town is converting his carport into a small cafe. I thinking he too may be looking to shut down the big restaurant down town. Another steak house which had just gone up last year is empty and for rent. We haven’t been to Karen’s (Baja Java) yet to get the local scoop on the news.
