Grocery store

We bought a bunch of hot sauce , selection was huge, and very cheap; 50 cents to $1.00. Lots of interesting tortillas etc too.

Back streets of La Paz

We wondered around looking in shops

Streets of La Paz

We spent the day in La Paz , a beautiful seaside town. Lots of Mexican families spending a Sunday in town . Very few tourists like us. Most shop keepers spoke no English.

Resort

There doesn't appear to be a lot of guests

Breakfast by the pool

The ceramic tile pool was beautiful . That's a swim up bar at the end

Baja resort

Our room overlooks the infinity pool. Beyond is the Sea of Cortez. I wondered around the resort at sunrise. Beautiful details everywhere

Mexico

We made it to Baja. After a 3 1/2 flight to Dallas we flew almost 3 more to Cabo at southern tip of Baja. We are 800 miles south of Calf border. Immigration was weird, all arriving luggage was x-rayed (looking for guns??) Cabo is an uninteresting tourist town clearly set up for gringos. We were anxious to head 120 miles up coast to La Paz on the sea of Cortez Our 2 hour bus ride ended up taking 5 hours. It was me and Karen, a Mexican women, a man who sang Mexican songs with his iPod and an insolent driver who ended up dumping us in streets of La Paz instead of at resort as promised. We got a cab. Coast line was beautiful and empty, lots of cactus.
