Out Here.

Town has hit that dead-quiet September stretch where half the restaurants are closed up until October. The only real racket right now is the steel framing going up for the Chedraui over in San Vicente.

Otherwise, it’s mostly overgrown brush along the dirt roads and people trying to dodge the sticky afternoon heat.

Have an easy week, and thanks for reading the Dusty Burro.

Community Note

September brings a familiar quiet to Todos Santos and Pescadero. Restaurants close up for the season, favorite spots take their annual breaks, and the humidity settles in.

For a lot of local families and hourly workers, though, the low season arrives at exactly the same time as back-to-school expenses.

If you’re in town this month, consider buying your coffee, produce, or dinner from the places that are staying open and keeping their crews working. A little neighborly business goes a long way right now.
