Day 23 Another Glorious Day in Cabo Pulmo

I woke up a little before 6 and the Boys and I quietly tumbled out of the motorhome. I wanted to go up on the bench overlooking the ocean to catch the sunrise. It was truly a moment of Zen.
Janice made coffee and we sat outside in the beautiful campground. We watched the birds and Janice took some pictures of the flowers. Our host, Randy Webb, came over and we had a great conversation about the work we are doing with Umpqua Watersheds. We told him about the Umpqua Outback Project and he listened enthusiastically, and gave us some ideas about the stage and the mural. He is an architect and an artist. He and his wife Kim, , who had to fly back to Oregon for a couple weeks, have a very successful architectural business  and it was interesting talking to him about their projects. We have become fast friends. It is quite amazing they live less than 2 hours away from us when they are home.
The groundkeepers daughter, Alexandria, is 6 years old and has been helping me with my Spanish. She is really sweet and I know she and my granddaughter, Alice, would have fun playing together.
Janice, The Boys and Dude, the Campground dog took a long walk on the beach. The water is crystal clear and there is no trash on the beach. Even though this week is a holiday in Mexico there aren't many people in Cabo Pulmo. It seemed like we had the whole ocean to ourselves!
We took a birding and botany hike at 4:30. We walked right by the place we got stuck in the sand in the motorhome. Janice and I expected our guide, Fernando, to mention the episode in broken English, "Some Americanos decided to go sandskiing in their motocasa and got demselves  atascado (stuck). Fortunalmente, Fernando didn't mention it, probably because he suggested we camp there!
It was a fun hike. We got home and Randy had grilled hamburgers. Janice brought out some side dishes and we enjoyed our meal, laughing and talking about our experiences. It was truly an amazing day.

Unfortunately some locals at 5 am decided to be assholes and went roaring by us making sure they disturbed our slumber. But on the plus side...
