Day 37

We left the park at Puerto Escondido around 9:30 am. It was very windy when we left the park and it stayed  with us until we reached our next destination, Playa Santispac. We will be dry camping for three nites here. We are to have a campfire on the beach, and George and I are looking forward to it.

 

Highway 1 to Santispac was 2-way traffic with lots of cactus on both sides of the road. The road wasn't bad and it's a short distance of only 89 miles today. 

We arrived at Playa Santispac early in the afternoon. It's a very beautiful beach with nice clear blue water but the wind followed us. It was strong and gusty all afternoon with blowing sand.

 




Happy hour started about 4:00 pm. We had some shots of tequila and someone (won't mention names) thought their car was a dune buggy. They got the car bogged down into the sand and quite a few of the ladies in the caravan pushed hard to get it out of the sand. We got it out without the men. After this, there was more happy hour and then some leg wrestling on the beach. What more can you ask for on a day at the beach?
