Staying at Weaver Rentals in Los Barriles, Mexico

This morning while hitchhiking into town, a guy named Mike picked us up.  There was barely enough room for us in the back of his truck next to the kiteboarding gear.  Kiteboarding is definitely the most popular sport in Los Barriles.  Second to Hood River, this seems to be the place to be, if you like wind.

Since we’re not kiteboarders, how did we end up in the kiteboarding capital of Mexico, staying in a house just a short walk from the beach?

Craig and Holly Weaver, loyal Flying M customers, offered us their vacation rental, El Torote.

Hotel Guluarte has the usual amenities that a traveler can get for $30. What a attracted traveler Brandon to this motel was the laundry facility.
