Nopolo Globe

Nopolo Sur is a small fishing village accessible only by sea (there is a foot-path up and across the mountains to the village of San Evaristo). Nopolo is actually three lobes in a bay that has a curved hook on the north, protecting the people who live here from severe northerly weather. The northern-most is called Alta, the center is Las Cuevas, and the far south is known as Nopolo Sur. There are two elementary schools, one in La Alta (with 6 students), one in Las Cuevas (with 5 students).

Last time we visited here, Carlos suggested the school might be able to use a globe. So we found one in San Diego and brought it down with us.

Mexico is a very small spot on the face of the earth. The Baja is even tinier.

Making it all the more important that we understand how essential the fishing families in Nopolo Sur are to the life of this world we share.
