Our vacation home for many years was in Bahia de Kino, Mexico with the Sea of Cortez beach just across the road from our home. Bahia de Kino is often simply called Kino Bay by Americans. The area is basically divided into two large sections, one is called Old Kino, which is filled with distinctive and older style homes and businesses of old Mexico, while the other half, New Kino, contains more modern homes owned mostly by Americans and Canadians.

There is only one main road that goes straight through New Kino with little or no traffic, and as for its sandy beach, it's no doubt the best or almost the best in all of Mexico in our opinion and never crowded!

And from our home in fall months, we would see shrimp boats off shore almost every evening. Their freshly caught shrimp could then be purchased the following mornings about a quarter mile from our home where their smaller boats would transport their catch to shore. In those days, the cost per kilo for deveined/shelled shrimp was about five dollars!

It was a wonderful place to relax several times a year and enjoy the nearby beach! Bob
