Puerto Penasco, Mexico

Last week, we drove the 4Runner South of the border for Tierra's Birthday. Who would have guessed that the place would be quiet on Cinco de Mayo?


Shrimp boats in Rocky Point harbor.




Feliz Cumplianos a Tierra! A 'homemade' dinner of jumbo shrimp (directly from the Sea of Cortez), real tortillas, freshly chopped salsa, etc., etc (yes, our budget kitchen sets up on the hotel balcony).




Pelicans pickin up the scraps.





This parot was the hotel swimming pool lifeguard.



Amaya had the pools to herself.

Back in the USA---FIVE is Amaya's magic number. The following shots are from the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument down on the Arizona - Mexico border.

Sun rises through an arch near Ajo peak.




Home on the range.




Ocotillo and sunset shadows.


Its way too hot for me down here, so I think we'll be headin' North to the canyons next.
