Here
is something Thomas
wrote about Bahia, way back when...
"In
Bahia de los Angeles, what we DON'T HAVE counts. We
have no:
-
No Pollution; on a regular day you can see 30 miles.
-
No Telephone, what a blessing!
-
No Television, No Newspaper, thank God, No Daily Bad
News!
-
No Beauty Parlor; think how much money you save by letting
yourself be natural!
-
No Piercing Police, Fire Engine, Ambulance, or Paramedic
sirens to listen to!
-
No Commercial Airline.
-
No Nightlife; our lights go out at 10 p.m.
365
days a year we enjoy a most beautiful sunrise over the
Sea of Cortez. Our sun rises always in the morning,
right on schedule!
We
HAVE:
-
An English Speaking Doctor.
-
Daily Fresh Tortillas
-
An Abundant Supply of Fresh Fish and Other Fine Seafoods.
-
A Gas Station Selling Regular Gas, No Unleaded.
-
3 Restaraunts; two are excellent!
-
A Good English Speaking Car Mechanic and a Good Tire
Shop.
-
We have Very Fine Mexican Beer!
-
An Excellent Laundry Lady.
-
We Have Knowledgeable Fishing Guides and Boats for Rent.
Our
climate is similar to San Diego, but more desert-like.
When it rains in Los Angeles or San Diego, we
get strong West-Winds. As the storms move from
the California coast Eastward into Arizona, we get North-Wind.
We welcome this winds; they sweep our village
and they allow us to curl up with a good book! Just
as the storms in California occur mostly in the Winter,
so do our winds. In the summer months, just a
light breeze blows from the sea to keep our house air-conditioned.
As the water warms up in August, this breeze becomes
less effective. Our coldest water temperature
is in March, and the warmest in October. With the exception
of August, most outdoor people will find our climate
very pleasant and extremely healthy. The time
from July the 15th to September 15th is more recommended
for desert rats."
