Holy Week is over. The much talked about weeklong celebration came and went as expected. Most of the people were Mexican families from the north. Escondida beach population exploded as tents were erected, kitchens set up, and boats launched. The volleyball court came to life when Tecate beer set up their concession next to it. We had the same family camped on either side of us so "mi casa es su casa" was the rule. They were a very nice, generous family from Mexicali, though most lived in Los Angeles now. They called Allan "Tarzan" as they remembered him from 7 years ago....many of the same families have been coming here for years! Most of the activities centered around drinking, cooking, eating, and water sports. Fishing was abundant as was diving for clams, scallops and snails. We had ceviche of every type. Fish tacos, fried fish, carne asada, and birria - a stew of goat meat, mmmmmmmmm, they brought a whole goat in a cooler...the horns now decorate the palapa. Had a great time but glad to have our tranquil life back!!!!
