We took a trip down to Guaymas this weekend. It was a nice weekend getaway, but incredibly hot. We’re not used to this sort of humidity in Tucson. The sea offered little to escape the heat as water temperatures were in the low 90s.
We arrived around midnight on Friday. Abe always carries a well stocked fridge for nourishment. This provided the energy to discuss future business plans until the sun came up around 6am. With only a few hours of sleep, I was mostly destroyed on Saturday. Fortunately it doesnt take a lot of energy to lay on the beach, which comprised most of the day’s agenda.
We did get a chance to visit Abe’s future residence. It is not too far from his current home, but not on the beach. That probably has some advantages, despite the obvious disadvantages. It has a lot of outdoor space, much unlike his current place. Parking will certainly never be an issue again.
Scout will miss the early mornings on the beach more than anyone. Although, physically he is not quite the same since his leg injury from the demon cat. We also dont run him in the desert like we used to. I suspect he would be back to his old ways with another week of this level of activity.
We are on our way home now, having left a couple hours ago. Tragically, I forgot to replace the oil cap when I topped the truck up before leaving. This was brought to our attention with smoke streaming from the hood. Never a comforting sight, but it didnt amount to too much. Abe was kind enough to deliver some oil as we were not even out of Guaymas when my transgression was made evident. He was given a free t-shirt with his oil purchase which I now have as a special reminder to not do that again.
We did stop to purchase sea food before departure. We bought a couple kilos of red snapper and shrimp. Unfortunately they were out of scallops. Sea food is quite cheap there. The prices below are per kilo (in pesos).
The drive home is always better than the drive down. I have yet to figure out why.
