The return north

Here's a few pics from our return up north.

Just a nice little valley. I'm afraid that most of our pictures so far have misrepresented the vast majority of Baja, which is hot, flat and covered in cactus. A little like this.

Back to misrepresenting. We drove back up entirely along Hwy. 1, and hit a few spots along the way that we had missed on the way down by trying to stay along the surf spots on the Pacific coast. This is near Mulege, which is on the Gulf of California side, has no waves, good fishing, and quite a few empty white sand beaches with warm water. We enjoyed everything except trying to sleep at night, which was near impossible in the back of our truck due to the heat and humidity.

Another shot Camille took during the drive up. It was hot, but thankfully our truck performed admirably. Not even a flat tire.

Camille took eight pictures of this boat, (she likes bright colors), so I figured it would be a bit of a travesty to not show one of them. Plus, it really is a nice photo.

Taqueria. Good food and a host of flies. What more do you really need?

Our last night in Baja, we spent at a beach just a little south of Ensenada. However, this particular beach is a little different, as natural hot sulfur water comes up through the sand at low tide. You just mosey out, dig yourself a hole on the beach and have an instant hot tub. If you dig too deep the water will literally scald you, but a nice medium depth tub is fantastic. And since the weather is so much more temperate on the Pacific side, you can actually be comfortable in hot water.

Final picture. Here we are in the tubs, the night before our return to the states. Hope you enjoyed the travels so far, and we'll keep you updated on our future plans. Who knows, maybe we can make a career out of this...
