Punta Abreojos, BAJA - Here at this beach, which translates to “Open Your Eyes,” we wait for swell, but have been hit with some waves. After setting up camp for the first time down here - tents, canopy, grill, and fire pit - we spend most of our time relaxing, fishing, attempting to catch lobsters, and escaping the heat of the blistering sun. The beach is long and desolate, but full of life as every morning we are greeted with the sightings of dolphins and seals. The area in which we are camping is surrounded by about 10 American surfers/campers that seem to have the same easy lifestyle that we have come down here searching for.
We are currently sitting in a small…extremely small public library that surprisingly has internet, even though at the moment we only have 10 minutes left to write due to the fact that the señorita running the library has to take her kids home. The town of Punta Abreojos is small, but warming. Clearly we look like outsiders, but we are never greeted with anything less than an “hola” and a wave.
This morning we surfed for a bit over a rock-reef point break, which was small, but super fun. After getting to a computer to check the swell and such, we have decided to camp another night or so and then make our way south to the town of Todos Santos, where we hear is full of excitement and waves.
Sorry we have no pictures of videos for you yet due to the slow connection - we are in a town where the population is probably around 60 - give us a break. We are hoping for a better connection in Todos Santos, so be patient and good will come.
So we end our post here, leaving you with a quote from our newest commenter, Aaron, on the site:
“you must have confidence when you are only half sure”
Take care all, and adios!
