La Paz

Sandra and friend scouting the shoreline

Kids on trikes, where's the people?

Yesterday we spent the day in La Paz, a lazy walk the malecon (boardwalk) kind of day and enjoy the weather which has been close to 30C once you get away from the water. Like other places there are very few people on the streets and that made it easy for us to spot Michel and Danielle, two French tourists who we first met on the beach at El Requeson. They were waiting to catch the ferry back to the mainland, and then a train up the Copper Canyon, a popular mainland tourist destination. They refused to go to Cabo San Lucas because of it’s artificial nature, an area leveraging Mexican weather but American influence and architecture. Interesting  protest.

The Malecon has many statues on it and is a wonderful place for people to walk. Later we’d go out for lunch at a local restaurant, then back to the RV camp where I was put to work helping them lay out some new RV pull thru spots for an upcoming caravan. Maranatha is definitely a story in itself.

Entry to Canada using ARRIVECAN

  Entry to Canada using ArriveCan Updated Jan 19. (Minor comment Feb 16th) Information in this blog post is still current until Feb 28, 2022 at which time it will be edited with the most current information)  This is for all Canadians travelling back to Canada or US citizens considering coming to Canada. I thought we’d pass on what we learned in returning to Canada from our short driving visit to our place at ISRVR. First, we used “ Curative ”, a healthcare provider who provides PCR testing. You need to be careful as to the type of test accepted by Canada. A PCR/Naat or PCR test qualify. "Rapid Antigen" tests do not . Our tests and many others were back to us in 12-17 hrs. Some pharmacies also offer tests. Caution when using pharmacies as we are hearing more and more can not meet the 72 hr. testing window and some do not offer PCR tests. Just make sure you get a PCR test. It will take 1-2 days. Curative only offers PCR tests , follow...

Borrego Blooms

Not our Hidden Site but a great one none the less In all the years we have been down in the Palm Springs area we have never been to Borrego Springs during the March “bloom”. And, the bloom doesn’t occur in years with little rain. So I guess we’ve been down in pretty dry years, or been away, like in Jan. Feb. 2017 when they did get a good rainfall. Well this year is the most since 1943. We decided since we had the camper on the truck and hadn’t cycled in a week that we should get out there, do some camping in our hidden gem of a 4WD location, ride our bikes (we did 24 kms the 1 day) Borrego has miles of Sculptures and followed up with 30 kms the next in Yuma. Killing Monarch Butterflies while driving Here are the sites we saw. Sandra outstanding in her field, err, canyon Mornings we'd check out the view down the driveway. Unique formations in the canyon Friendly ones as well Innushuk built This desert is supposed to be sand colored ...

Coffs Harbour, Brisbane and Christmas

Coffs Harbour From Sidney we have a day’s drive up to Coffs Harbor where we have our eyes set on one last camping day. Both Coffs harbour and the Holiday park we selected Park Beach Holiday park did not disappoint. The weather was perfect to the point of being very warm into the late evening. Ocean Beach Coffs Harbour is a smaller town situated on the east coast of Australia and Coffs Creek creates a beautiful backwater entry into the ocean with a sandspit that Park Beach and the Holiday park and surroundings sit on. It is such a beautiful spot with warm shallow water and the holiday park sparkled it was so clean and well outfitted, and, it was one of the last low season days so prices were reasonable and there were few people there. The RV park desk recommended the Parks Beach Bowls Club ( https://pbbc.com.au ) for supper as we were tired of the day’s drive and wanted to maximize our stay there similar to Kiama. While it did not have the elevated view that Kiama ...
