Our last day visiting Rocky Point

Our last day visiting Mexico, our new friend Kim took us to see Cholla Bay.  Thank you to Jeanne again for letting me use a few of her photos for this post.


Our day started when Kim took us to her favorite breakfast place in Cholla Bay.
The name of the restaurant is "Xochiti's" an adorable breakfast lunch spot.
"Xochiti's" is famous for their hot cinnamon rolls with yummy maple icing...
Here Karen enjoys a roll and many of us couldn't resist the rolls either.


We sat in the outdoor veranda which was brightly painted.
When I asked everyone to 'get up against the wall' for a photo - they obliged.

Here's our group blocking the 'Banos'  (bathroom). Lft to Rt: Me, Jakota, Karen, RJ, Kim, Cathy, Jeanne, Cheryl, & Billy.


I took another shot and put owner - Sally, in my spot - last on left.


After breakfast, we stopped at JJ's Cantina a favorite spot for many on the beach.
On the beach in front of JJs local merchants were selling their wares.

We loved these little hand painted animals.
All of the hand painted pottery was very tempting.
Here Kim tells our group stories about this area.

Today, JJs was sponsoring a Fishing Derby - so it was pretty busy.

Here some of the fishermen were already out starting to fish.
The inside of JJs the walls were all very brightly painted.

JR & Kim had a beachside table to watch the beach happenings.


Lots of folks had land rovers to enjoy a beach drive.

As we left JJs we noticed this 'contraption' that we all found fascinating.
Both Karen & Jakota took turns at the wheel - apparently this is used to help move the boats when they are stranded at low tide.

Lots or real estate is for sale here - so we thought we'd have a little fun and take a tour or one of the homes for sale.
Here we are all atop the rooftop deck - 3 bed/4bath.


Ocean view, 2car garage, $199k... a cute winter getaway.


On the way back to the Rocky Point campground we stopped for more shopping.

They called this place "Shack's 5th Avenue" because there were little curio shacks up and down this side street full of fun stuff to buy. And yes we did help the economy here by buying some colorful fish for our bathroom.
We enjoyed our last sunset over Rocky Point and decided we would like to come back to visit next winter.  We had a blast meeting new friends and playing on the beach.
