Its been a busy week in Mexico. This week we attended a local birthday party with a live band and about 60 people. A fun experience. Danced a little, drank a little, and had lots of laughs. We also got to attempt to herd some cattle that had gotten out of their grazing area. These cows graze around the site, so we see them everyday. Laura and I went for a day hike down the coast to have a look at a large sea cave. It was really dark in there, so we couldn't see much but the garbage left by the locals. We could hear the bats, though. The walk along the beach was beautiful. We walked through some low brush on the ways back, supposedly a short cut. Lots of interesting cacti, a snake and spiders. I got about 2 metres away from a sea lion. I thought he was beached, so I approached him, but he just got up and walked back into the ocean (sea lions cant be beached...oops). Yesterday was rescue Americans day. It is the Memorial Day long weekend, so the beach is crowded with people. On the drive back to the house we helped some people get their quad started, pushed some surfers car out of the sand and then rescued some other people by driving them into town because their kids had their car keys. At the site we put in more shoring to be safe, as we are now going below 6 metres. We have been going through sterile stuff, not many bones or shells, but I did find a clear white quartzite point in the screen yesterday. This weekend is the Baja 500 road race, so the week has been filled with practicing Baja Buggies, motorcycles and miscellaneous other vehicles driving by the site kicking up dust. The race this week should be fun...along with the party that we have been invited to.
