Muertos was hopping when we got there. There were only a few boats but the beach was absolutely jammed with tents and Mexican music was bumping from speakers everywhere- Semana Santa was in full swing. Was it really Easter already? We couldn't believe it. We had only left a couple days after Valentines day...Almost eight weeks ago! Wow, time flies when your having a ball. I'm beginning to understand how Cruiser's can casually say they've been sailing the Sea of Cortez for the past FIVE YEARS...
Anyway...The water was gorgeous so we had a swim. We had set our sights on catching some dinner on the cruise up but we were luckless once again, so a rummage through the freezer managed to produce ground Buffalo I had brought from San Diego. Buffalo Chili; black beans and five chili's-Anaheim, Chipotle, Serrano, Jalepeno and New Mexico with shredded cabbage ( our staple vegetable- it lasts forever) and homemade corn tortillas. Oh, how we suffer...
Water carries sound like you can't believe- we lay at anchor but got to party until the wee hours with all the mexican families on shore. Tuba is a big instrument in the Mexican music scene and it carries particularly well over the waves. This is one of the things you notice here, people love to have a REALLY good time. There were massive numbers of families camped on the beach. The smell of carne asada, cooked over campfire-barbecues wafted over us. How can you not love this place?
The next morning we beached the dingy at the swanky hotel at the end of the beach. We wanted to bum onto their internet, so we ordered a couple of drinks and some snacks, while the kids had a play in their awesome pool- A three level number complete with epic waterslide. We had such a nice day and the menu prices were reasonable, so we stayed for dinner. Plus there was an amazing train set that took up the whole floor upstairs and vintage video games-Jon totally rocked Atari-and since several other Mexican families were there on vacation, our kids played with their kids while we sipped Margaritas in uninterrupted adult- heaven. As the full moon rose over a flat sea, we motored the dingy back to Pura Vida and sat around in a blissed-out dream state- listening to the happy thumping of Tuba music...
