San Carlos
San Carlos is an interesting town. I would say that it is pretty typical of most of the smaller towns in Baja, maybe one or two paved roads, a market, a hardware store and a few other stores. Pretty basic, just the things one would need to live. Most people that come through here don’t see much, no real beauty. I totally disagree.
The town is alive with people, on the streets and enjoying their surroundings. Maybe it’s because I have been to small towns in the US, and can compare the two. People seem to be far more community oriented here, it really makes me realize how isolated people in the US can be, with out even noticing it.
We had a bit of a scare from the tsunami set off by the Earthquake in Chile yesterday. There was much speak of the possibilities, we got ourselves pretty worked up about it. when the time came it ended up being nothing. The waves where nothing different than we would experience on any other day. Oh, well. It was fun to think about for a while.
I have some family headed over to Hawaii next week, and I want to wish them safe travels! My Grandparents, Mom and Step Dad are headed over. Surely they will have a great time.
My friend Tim and his wife are going over the week after that on a totally seperate trip. I’m hoping to get a hold of a friend over there to help them find some extra cool things to do, but haven’t been able to get a hold of him yet. I will though…. I didn’t forget.
I’m jealous. Maybe I’ll get to head over soon.
