A Baja Race

 February 17, starting around 7 am ish (we woke to the vehicles engine noises) there was a Baja race. The drivers took off from Las Palmas- downtown Los Barriles, 2 miles from our place. It was a time trial race- about 6 hrs average to run the course.
To see the track map go to: http://www.elpatorojo.com/mapa-off-road-cabo-del-este-2013
Here's our pictures:

 

The track crossed the road to the K hall 3 times. The brothers told us to leave early & BE CAREFUL. A few friends have scary stories about almost getting hit as they were trying to drive in past years. In this pict. we were sitting in traffic waiting for a break in the racers- you can see one above- the orange vehicle with the dust behind it. This area is normally pretty deserted at this time Sunday morning- but all day it was jammed with spectators & racers!

Mike, Melanie, and Us go to La Ribera after the meeting to watch.

These kids were loving it. They would run out and put toys for the vehicles to hit and flatten when there was a break in racers.

Yes, they are going very fast. Yes, there are no rules re. how close a spectator can be. Yes, it was probably a little dangerous.

A little farther up (where the dust is- before the pavement starts) there is a little jump and most vehicles would jump it a foot or two- it was fun to watch.

Mike took this - that is us right behind the Truck!

Why did the chicken cross the road? LOL I thought for sure these 2 were going to bite it but they got out of the way in time.

On our way home from La Ribera we saw this truck that we had just watched go by in La Ribera on the street.

We have no idea who won but it sure livened up our little area. :)

Today in Miraflores, and misc.

A couple cool things

This guy was under my beach towel on our terrace this morning- he is tiny- that is Jake's finger. He was too small to even pick up- Jake tried for a couple minutes.

 

A road runner off our road- this field is right behind our house.

Jake found a sea snail- and attached it to his hand, then Simone did it.

Manta Rays- 2 just splashed in the water- 2 are "flying"

Our Aloe Vera- they are all blossoming here- the blossoms start out yellow then turn bright orange

This dog followed us for a bit- he took us around town and showed us his family- he was super friendly

Out & About Today

We drove up this mountain to reach a return visit-

The road was very washed out-

This boulder blocks the road at the top of the mountain

Connie and I made it up the mountain with the help of chocolate covered almonds and trying to distract each other with conversation.

The road we came up leads to the ocean, its the one that points straight ahead to the water.
