Baja-heading north











Well, we are on the road again, heading north this time. I've included a photo of road traffic when road work is being done. Usually you drive on some part of the road WHILE it's being worked on. This can lead to some harrowingly narrow roads.... We were diverted around at least two bridges today while repairs are being done to the access parts. Our wagonmaster told us the bridges usually hold up fine during a flood, it is the dirt access part to the bridge that fails. We certainly saw evidence of that today. I've also included a photo of Roger at leisure at Santispac, under a frayed palapa, looking out at the Sea of Cortez. We took a drive to nearby Coyote beach and El Burro beach. These are sheltered beaches w/ almost no facilities, except turquois water, white sand beaches and a few palm trees.
The photo of Roger and I dancing is a fun Baja story. With folks who are returning with Baja Winters to the states and parked at Santispac, we decided to go to Anna's on the beach for dinner. We somehow had missed this place on the way down. So we troop in, and find out it is dance night, along with dinner specials. Seems most of Mulege' gringos turn out for these nights at Anna's. The previous Sat. night (this happened to be Sat. night, but we have long ago lost track of the days) had been a "Prom night" and everyone came dressed up for proms and had their photos taken etc. Well, this group of folks our age (more and Less) had a rocking good time, a good meal, and all was sort of a 'surprise' for us, who had not even known this place was there! We are just outside Ensenada tonight. We'll go to the hotel restaurant for our last group dinner. I can hardly believe this adventure is almost over. We expect to cross the border about noon tomorrow. We have had such a great time, made such great friends, and had some serious adventure.... everything we hoped for and much much mas!
I'll have more photos after we get back to states and have reliable wifi, along with hot water laundry, cell phone coverage, tv etc. Guess we will be able to cope....
Meanwhile, happy trails....
