to San Carlos

And I did start early; always tried to start my going days early. Taxi to the bus station, bus to Guaymas, taxi to San Carlos, into San Carlos, past San Carlos, past the twin-peaked Cerro Tetakawi, to Los Algordones, beside the Sea of Cortez.

It is here that I stepped firmly back into my tourist shoes. I am at what used to be a resort, and I suppose could still be considered a "resort", though it is small and somewhat quaint. The only restaurant is out by the pool. Just down the street is a crowded mega resort containing three or four restaurants, a gift shop, a huge parking lot full of SUVs and fancy cars, and a sandy beach. My resort has water access but it is rocky, completely, with one set of five-foot wide steps leading into the water. But a nice pool. Hey, $250 a week on the Sea of Cortez, I ain't going to argue too much.

So, here I am (near) San Carlos in a mini-resort, with air-conditioning making my room feel like a meat locker, a shower with no cold water (the coldest it gets is luke-warmer) wondering what the heck this solo, non-Spanish speaking American tourist is going to do here.

It doesn't look like it would be that hot that close to the beautiful water. Is there any kind of breeze? It is gorgeous.
