Splish, splash

It was at Bahia de los Angeles - the Bay of Angels where we first got a glimpse of the Sea of Cortez. It was after a 5 hour drive through the desert, surrounded by mountains and numerous giant cacti that the most amazing blue water seemed to appear out of nowhere. Islands were scattered throughout the water and desert landscape surrounded the shore line.
We decide to stay in town for a couple of days and relax after being on the road for quite a few days. On our first morning, we wake up and it is already about 30 degrees outside. We drive around to La Gringa point, take Loretta on to the beach which we have all to ourselves. We have breakfast by the water, go for a swim, or two, or three in the gorgeous tropical water and check out some of the small whiting in the bay. The pelicans were on watch for food and were successful with their diving on numerous occasions and we were treated to a special show by a couple of dolphins swimming by.
Now I have always thought that in Far North Queensland, where the rainforest meets the ocean, was pretty spectacular, but where the desert meets the sea certainly gives it a run for its money!
