Party time at the Wet Buzzard...
....Westy....
Typically, a San Quintin fiesta is associated with a pig roast. But this bash was not your typical fiesta, not by a long shot. Juanita made sure that no guest would leave hungry by offering 3 pigs, a goat, a lamb, an endless supply of clam chowder, more fish than one could count, quail eggs, beans, rice, tortillas and 4, yes 4, kegs of beer! NOW YOU'RE TALKING BABY!!!
Dad, David Eidell and myself sat in the sunshine on the 2nd floor enjoying the end of a perfect day when David pointed just offshore and said, "look, whales!" Not more than 100 yards offshore was a pod of Gray whales moving north down the coast. Without hesitation the three of us jumped into the truck, readied our cameras, and intercepted the northward moving pod. For a little more than an hour we stood at the waterline and watched as pod after pod paralleled the beach on their northward journey. We counted no less than 30 adults and calves, and we took almost as many photos.
With the opening of the Wet Buzzard Juanita has begun a new chapter in San Quintin. Now there's a new place to go where amigos can enjoy great food & drink, secure camping and RV'ing, and the best view of the wild Pacific in all of Northern Baja. I would encourage all amigos who find themselves in the area to stop by the Zopilote and forget about everything for a while.
