Bahia Concepcion

This is the first time in the Sea of Cortez that we saw sea-weed, and this was a very pretty but prolific hardy type which had the strength and appearance of plastic.  You can just see it under the water off this beach (if was fun to row through watching the little fish that live amongst it).
We were in search of the hot water spring, but just found a shady cave instead where fisherman probably stopped for a rest.
The houses nestled in the hills had really interesting architecture and almost blended into the mountain side with the natural stone clad walls.  We knew we were back in civilization as soon as we saw these and the highway that runs alongside.
Each house had a slightly different design, we loved the arches of this one.
This village was very pretty and the 'American' homes were nestled together with open fronts facing out to the beach.  There were more houses behind the beach, where there was also a natural hot spring bath set in the village square.
At night time the bay was alive with cat fish and this heron decided to use our dinghy as a diving platform to catch them....we watched from the cockpit as he carefully waited for the right moment and then snagged a big fish for his dinner!
