Tecolate

After Carol did the wash someone thought it would be funny to put my underwear on the wagon master's flag pole. When we left here Barry hooked his steps onto something and bent them all up. Two couples stayed behind with their rigs to explore further and meet other friends that were coming down to Cabo to meet them. They will then hook on to a later caravan coming back.

This was a shower in the camp site.

On our way north we stopped for lunch in a little town that had a music museum. Here's some of the steps inside with different heights.

These were steps on the sidewalk in town. You always have to watch where you walk.

We arrived in Tecolate Beach in time for happy hour.

I made friends with this little puppy. It was so skinny, we were wondering if it would make it to the next day.

The next day we had breakfast on the beach. There was a little concession restaurant that opened just for us.

Then relaxing in the sun. (like the commercial on TV).

Barry found an octopus and showed us before releasing it back to the sea.

View from our trailer back window. The Sea of Cortez is such a colourful blue.

In the late afternoon Roy hosted Happy Hour. He got out our Starbucks machine and made Iced Mochas. The couple on the right are from England and were interested in seeing our big rigs up close.

This morning we lined up to leave. It was hard to leave this beautiful place on the beach. We are now in CD Constitution for the night on our way north.

Box Canyon

Our little internet cafe at the beach by our satellite uplink.

Carol did laundry and this is the drying system. She called it Baja Breeze. You can't buy it in stores.

We rented a bunch of quads and rode to a box canyon. Here are 5 burrows we saw on the way there.

Riding into the box canyon.

At the end.

Looking back towards the entrance.

A nice waterslide at the end. After Carol and I rode to town on the quads and did some shopping.

Cabo Cruise

This is the ship we went on for our diner cruise in Cabo. It was an all you can eat and all you can drink cruise for $27.00 per person.

A couple of cruise ships in port. One was the Disney Cruise and the other a Carnival Cruise Ship.

Our group on the top deck.

At lands end, the most southern tip if the Baja.

Some of the houses along the shore cliffs.

There was a live band playing.

Sunset.

The top deck was the drinks and live band, the second deck was dinner and the bottom deck was the dinner show, highlighting South American regional dance.

Traynor the husky horned in on our picture of the marker ball at the Tropic of Cancer. At kunch today we arrived at Los Barriles on the sea of Cortez, between Cabo and La Paz, RV ing on the beach.

Loreto to Cabo

Having a good breakfast in Loreto. Fresh squeezed orange juice.

We went four by fouring up a dirt road to a mission 32 km in the mountains.

On our way we saw this tree growing out of the rock.

Finally up at the mission after bumpy dirt roads, the mission is paved with brick.

The San Javier Mission was built in 1750.

My new friend miss Cinco de Mayo.

The next two nights we spent in the capitol city of La Paz. A beautiful sea walk with nice shops. We stayed at an RV park owned and started by Mennonite Missionaries in the fifties.

One of many statues along the sea walk. (Sea of Cortez).

Of coarse all the Canadians watching the Canucks games on satellite outdoors. After leaving La Paz we officially entered the Tropic of Cancer.

After La Paz we drove to Todos Santos on the Pacific side where I saw Tim Spencer, who lives there. We saw him five years ago when we came down here. When we got to Cabo, there was a political parade which we found ourselves in the middle of. Took like an hour to go five blocks. As you can see in this picture they were butting in everywhere.

Dave hated this guys posters because he is always pointing, so of coarse I had to get him one. I placed it in his windshield facing in, to greet him in the morning. I wrote on it Pull my finger.

Carol went on a glass bottom boat ride.

Some of the colorful fish.

The very end of the Baja Peninsula.

Karen jumping in to go snorkeling. The airconditioning quit working in the truck so I brought it in to get fixed. The charged me 90 Pesos, which is less than $9.00. They also fixed the horn and washed the truck.

Mulege

We visited the town of San Igacio. This is the church in the town square.

This is the inside of the church which was built in 1786.

As we walked through the village we stumbled upon a tortilla factory. They gave us samples. They were so good fresh so we bought 2 dozen.

New family photo.

Lovely little residence.

This is the grave yard in town. Very colourful.

On the road again. This is Devil's Grade. 3 miles of 12% downhill grade.

Past the little town of Mulege (pronounced Mew la hey), we came down a last hill and saw this lovely beach. That's the beach we were staying at.

Carol settled in quickly.

There's miles and miles of beaches here. We met a lot of people from BC here.

The sun was setting on our right as the moon was rising on our left.

Roy went beach combing with Linda (from Kelowna).

We ordered in fresh prawn from today's catch and Vonda showed us how to shell and devein them.

We had a nice pot luck and prawn barbecue on the beach.

Carol with her feast. I did one skewer with lime and the other with garlic and butter.

They were so good Carol ate them up. Here's proof of her actually eating her first prawn meal.

One night we had a campfire on the beach with the full moon behind. We spent 2 nights here on the beach.

Here's an assortment of shells Roy collected on the beach. Nice patterns on the shells.
