Santa Rosalia
After all the times I’ve been to Santa Rosalia, I’ve never actually been to the town. Yesterday I actually got to go out and take a look around and I found a really cool little town.
There’s actually quite a bit going on here, which is probably due to the fact that the town is right on the main highway 1 going south. The town really reminds me of the little gold rush era town I was born and raised in, back in Northern California. There’s lots of history every where and evidence of the mining that took place here.
I really liked the feel of the town, just walking around every where I saw people that were just simply living. No touristy BS, no neon and night clubs. It’s quite nice.
It does make me a little homesick, though.
We weren’t lucky enough to catch the Humboldt Squid fisherman in action, which was kind of a bummer. Apparently there’s not much happening with that right now, for some reason. We never really got a good answer as to why. The squid sure are interesting to watch swim around, but I have no desire to go for a swim with them! They look like they control the water pretty well.
