I drove something like seven hours non-stop yesterday, so I've decided to stay here another night to recharge and get my bearings.

San Carlos is a small beachfront town that is increasingly becoming a haven for Americans dodging winter. From what I can see there are a lot of Canadians down here too. I feel pretty ghetto in Veronica next to all these SPANK RV's in the Totonaka RV Park. But hey, if I look poor no one is going to steal my stuff and it frees me up to go into more remote parts of Mexico.

This is Mexico.. but at the same time I think it isn't. But it is a good place for me to transition and get comfortable.

I took a few pics and did some filming this morning while walking Moses. It's a beautiful place. I mostly am drawn to things that speak to either the temporal nature of all things, and images that speak to the fact that everything we build has its own individual lifespan. Nature on the other hand is timeless in its comfort with impermanence.

You can see that they were constructing new beachfront condos. I wonder if the American economy has anything to do with this place not being finished.

Also a shot of the island in the bay looking south.

An RV left on the beach. I'm assuming someone thought they could camp on the beach during high tide? There's a part of the road out in town due to what looks to have been a small tsunami. Maybe this RV was caught in the same storm.

Ocean/Beach Trash.
