It is raining!!! First rain since last August!
The town is filling up with people from Mexicali. We went to a birthday party tonight at Paco and Miguel’s restaurant in the Ejido. Funny thing is that everyone here calls it "Paco and Miguel's" but the menu cover says "Miguel and Paco's". It was hard to find but what a real treat. It was again a BYOB and wine glasses were provided. I had the “Osso Bucco” and Regina had the steak special. Both were $15 and what a real treat. It sprinkled while we were in the restaurant but after we got home it started to REALLY rain. Kaaren took pictures of the birthday bash and when she sends them to me I will post them. Here are the pictures.
There are supposed to be up to 60,000+ Mexicali’s down here for Easter weekend. From the stream of cars we have seen so far, I almost believe that number. We are going to brave it tomorrow and go into town for a picture trip. We will not be parking anywhere as we have heard that there is no parking anywhere already. Going to try to go up to the lighthouse and take a picture of the beach and Malicon.
Have a nice Easter weekend and we will be posting pictures next week.
Well we did go into town on Sunday morning. There was indeed no parking. Actually there was massive traffic everywhere. Streets that normally would have taken a minute to drive were taking 15. Could not get to the malicon, tried three differnet ways. Everyone that had an open patch of land was either renting it out for tents or as a car park. So we just snapped a few pictures when we could. There were tents everywhere! Maybe next year we will go in and park near the arches and do a long walk. Probably faster that driving. Here are the pictures we took. Please don't ask about Flat Stanley :-)
