A day of rest, descansando en Rancho Santa Inez, our campground in Cataviňa. Slept in, watched birds out the window – took photos of horned larks, gila woodpeckers, and tried to get the camera to focus on the gnatcatchers, wrote, read, puttered, thought about what to do next, and generally did nothing much! 
No one here – very empty since everyone else is at or going to the beach. A nice relaxing day.Devin read me a passage from The Sea of Cortez about some “beetle-like flies” that
came out of the mangroves at Bahia Concepcion and liked dark places, so they crawled into the bedding and nibbled on tender places, and left a “fiery burning itch.” Since my bites seemed to have gotten worse, and were keeping me awake at night, I wondered if perhaps it wasn’t San Ignacio mosquitoes or “vampire flies” after all, but bugs from the mangroves near our pretty little heaven (cielito lindo!) of Santispac. So we changed the sheets on the bed and I took out the comforter and cover and hung them out in the sun all day to air out. I also took a shower and did sleep much better that night.
Cataviňa sunsets are worth staying extra days for. And the bats came out at dusk, then the stars... Central Baja desert sunsets and stars are the best!

- an exhaust system that not only increases power, but gives our model of RV 7% better gas mileage!
which has digital gauges letting you know fuel economy - allows you to figure out optimum driving speed/rpm for best mpg
lets us know what our tire pressures are at all times (keeping tires properly inflated can make a big difference in fuel economy)
(for filling tires using our batteries and keeping them at optimum pressure)
