Once again I am prowling the beaches near Guaymas in search of some of my favorite beach cobble including small pearlescent agates, mushroom rhyolites, and some miscellaneous yet to be indentified greens. Here is photo of the small agates that I collected today. I've sorted out the rhyolites, and other stones. These will be preformed a bit and tossed in the vibe when I return to the home base. Walking the beach is good exercise, and therapy, but having the mental stimulus of a frequent rock find is just about as good as it gets. My apologies for the group photo, bandwidth here is limited and precludes too many pictures.

Very cool. Plus a trip to Google maps for Guaymas.

A bit of info on the location. Guaymas is the major port closest to the US/Mexican border on the coast of Sonora. Across from Baja California. It works out to 5 hours south of Nogales, and another hour to Tucson. There is a small enclave of tourism near Guaymas called San Carlos (Nuevo Guaymas). Things are tranquil here, and I'd say that the Mexicans are taking the pandemic as seriously or more so than folks to the north. Tourism is obviously reduced from previous years, but the fish is fresh, the beer is cold, the beach is serene, the breezes consistent, and the people are friendly. I'm not selling anything; just pleased to be here and collecting rocks on a beach where few serious rock collectors ever visit. Life is much more civilized in much of Mexico than we are often led to believe. Did I say that I went to Home Depot to help a friend by a grill or bought one hundred of the best flour tortillas that you will every taste today?
