Loreto to La Paz
Santi is the perfect leader – keeping us both safe, exceedingly well fed, and well informed about our route, what to expect, etc! Delores and Santi share a passion for cooking and eating, which I thoroughly appreciated! And we have several photos taken of Ramon – for the express purpose of demonstrating his culinary skills to his girlfriend! Both Delores and I noted (with some amazement) that Santi can keep vegetables fresh for the whole of a 10 day trip! Did I mention the clamming? Santi and Ramon dug clams and Santi made the most wonderful, memorable, clam dish. And then there was lobster – caught for us by a fisherman with the most improbably stiff body…. And the lobster, too, Santi turned into a delicious meal Ramon couldn’t be a finer gentle shepherd – providing quiet attentiveness whenever required. And his uncontrollable giggle is completely infections!
The trip was exceptionally well planned – and my only complaint is that we couldn’t immediately turn around and paddle the same coastline in the other direction! I feel like I have been briefly introduced to the coast – and would like to figure out how to get to know it in much more depth.
