Life on El Coyote

The lifestyle on El Coyote is any one story of the people that you might meet. We have met some very interesting people....from British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, California as well as other states...each unique in the telling of course, all searching for Sun and fun. Not all retirees either....families from CA & Oregon....on winter holiday vacations.
Water is brought here by vendors, as is veggies, tamales, fresh fish, fruit, fresh bakery goods...."almost free" is a favorite selling point.

 
Almost everyone who comes has a kayak, inflatable Kodiaks, or small sailboats (they fold up)... hiking, fishing, daily 4pm happy hours and weekly craft classes are just some of the activities. We've already had 2 potlucks and one is scheduled for New Years...sitting in the sun and reading has been a favorite pasttime of mine so far...that and collecting seashells by the seashore (sorry, couldn't resist )

My new obession: Kayaking....this in a borrowed, but much appreciated, boat.


RV parking on the beach....


We also went to a local art show earlier in the month....this amazing German woman creates these cut glass and shell (Slabs of concrete) pieces that can be used as benches, tables, headboards or whatever one can think of...the slabs are 3 inches thick...I spoke with her for quite a while to discover how she creates them...once designed the work is place upside down on a glass table, reinforced with rebar and then concrete is poured......6 months to make them. She had quite a few for sell...this is just one of the slabs that she was showing.
