Hola, Amigos,
Our first guest of the year, long-time friend Jill Costa, has come and gone. Since she is still working, we forced her into some serious down-time! (Ha!) Didn't really do too much, but we did spend one day lounging in and around the pool at Rancho Buena Vista. (I told Ben we have to take advantage and do that more often!) This is a picture of me floating around (and getting a sunburn where I forgot to put my sunscreen ....oops!) A cool drink, a good book, a bit of shade and we were very happy! It was pretty hot last week; most days were in the 90's. The few breezy days were very welcome!
Ben has made fantastic progress on the '30 A. He got it situated where he could pull the engine all by himself, and we even got Caliman (the body man and painter) to cut off a few bolts and get the front fenders and running boards off the frame. It is in bits and pieces, and the frame and various other parts are being painted. Ben is painting the pieces of the engine that didn't get done this summer, and of course, we have the body off the frame. Ben and I and Jill managed to do it with a bit of leverage and the use of our old hospital gurney! Oh...and some sawhorses and blocks of wood. 😏 We've got it tucked away inside the garage now, where it doesn't take up too much space! It's pretty movable with that old gurney.
More restaurants in town are opening, including our old favorite, La Playa. I think we were there first customers this year! Still the same great food, and a fantastic view of the beach. We saw our first wind surfers when we were there for breakfast after church on Sunday.
Our next guest is scheduled to come November 7th, all the way from Austria! It took some doing, but Lydia finally found some flights that would work for her. It includes a couple days layover with a friend in Texas, but she made it work. After that, we don't have any scheduled guests that we know of except maybe in January. So, start planning your Baja vacation! We have two guest rooms with great views, and a weight set ready for you to use.
I am adding some more photos to our 2017 October Album. Enjoy!
Hasta la proxima vez,
Tus amigos de Baja
Harriet & Ben, Sam & Zoey
