Inland

Today we started heading inland after following the Pacific Coast for 35 km. Here is an unauthorized Starbucks which the company can do nothing about because it is in Mexico.

Here is a pair of cacti. One is a young bud and the other is old and dying.

Here's the same cacti in bloom. They bloom once in their lifetime.

Our group did a walking tour through a cacti jungle.

Here's a roadside memorial to Hector. He must have been a truck driver who was killed at this tight corner. There is a picture of him in the cab looking out.

More cacti beside the highway. They're getting bigger.

This was an area with huge round rocks. They call it a rock garden. It went for about 30 km. We are now in a campsite and getting ready for dinner. Our tour leader has a satellite internet connection so I can update way in the boonies.
