San Carlos, Sonora

San Carlos
As we get closer to the ocean , the hot wind begins to cool. Around the mountains and down the road I get my first glimpse of the beautiful clear ocean of San Carlos, Sonora. With excitement I assure Dorian that I have never seen water so beautiful. Ivy also got extremely anxious from the smells the ocean brought her as she dreamt of swimming and corn rolling herself in the sand. This was a familiar way of life. We were finally at the beach.
As we pulled up, Dorian was excited to try out his four wheel drive on the soft sand. Of course, mother nature had different plans. We got stuck in the sand, which was weird because the wheels wouldn’t even spin. We figure our rig is just to heavy with our life belongings and dreams. Immediately three guys started pushing us out. With luck they succeeded, and we later realized we made a special friend. We decided to keep El Grande Room (our rig) on the hard pack and set up camp.
We were greeted by an American and his son, Hunter who claimed lived down the road for the last ten years. We then cracked open beers and tried out the water. It was warm, clean, calm and glassy. A paradise for me to lay in. Later we got to thank the local Mexican, Max who initially helped us. We ended hanging out with him and his two friends all night. They were impressed with my Spanish and I too with their English. We all shared a twelve pack and practiced our languages. These locals were so nice and genuine. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. We were very lucky to share this time together.
The next day, as we woke our amigos pulled up on their quads and greeted us with tons of freshly caught jumbo shrimp and homemade delicious frijoles. They assured us that this was a gift and they continued on thee way to work where they rented their quads and fished for clams on the beach. I still feel blessed to have met them. The beach began to get very crowded on this Saturday so Dorian and I decided to take refuge from the fiesta at a RV park down the road. Overall, San Carlos is a beautiful and special place.
