Todos Santos holiday















Roger and I, Mike and Elaine Koehn (Roger's brother and his wife) took a 3 day trip to the Pacific side of Baja to Todos Santos. They were having a Historic Homes tour and we wanted to see the town and area. Roger and I made a stop here on our trip last year, but it was more of a drive through, than a real visit. I am sending along some photos of the homes and their decor. We stayed at the Serendipity B & B outside Todos Santos. It took a full page of directions to get us there and the road was a real 'off-road' experience! However, it is a beautiful facility and the full breakfasts were great. The owner Sharon Morris was also involved in the home tour so we got some of the inside scoop on that. Along with the pool, they have a beautiful hot tub, which we did take advantage of. We did some shopping while seeing the pueblo; Mike got nice leather sandals, and I found a beautiful bracelet and some cotton pieces that I really like. Of course, we also found some wonderful places to eat; don't we always? The pictures of the four of us as well as the photo of Roger and I were taken at the B& B. There are a couple of different buildings included in the B& B. You can see a couple of the towers with their palapa roofs. This gave us a great view of the ocean, where we spent some time looking for whales. I included a shot of an outdoor kitchen and bath at one of the homes on the tour. Folks live outdoors here a good part of the time. The weather is so perfect alot of the time. We took the northern route enroute to Todos Santos and on leaving we continued south to Cabo and around the point of Baja and back north to Los Barrieles. We made several attemps to get to some of the beaches just south of TD, but nothing is marked and we were only slightly successful. I am putting up one video of the Pacific just to show we did make it! We are back in Los Barriles now and thinking we will depart about 3/13 for places north, making the states about 4/1 or so... not very definite yet. Too much sunshine to enjoy yet to think too seriously about leaving... Happy Trails.....
