Yesterday morning Mike and I went to Los Olivos for breakfast. Sparkplug was holding an oriole in the palm of her hand. It had smacked into one of their windows, and was temporarily stunned. Sparkplug? Named by Marv because she is so dynamic, and also something to do with her shape. She is a fantastic person, decended from the Yee family. Lots of Chinese people had been brought down here to work in the various mines, then just as they were in the US, abandoned down here to fend for themselves. The Yee family is quite prominent throughout Baja. After breakfast we rode our ATVs to the other side of the river and turned up by Don Chano's into a canyon with some of the most beautiful rocks we have ever seen. Just a spectacular couple of hours. The access stops at one point, and the next time we will wear real shoes instead of flip flops, and continue on foot to see deeper into the canyon which, as you get closer to the mountains, changes into a lush green forest of cacti and trees. It was a definite WOW.
