the end of the road in Baja...

Loreto is a beautiful city with much to do and see. Here are a few pictures of el centro on or near the plaza.

The residential streets here have some beautiful homes...

I think Rob and I could be very happy in Loreto in our old age. They have all the services you need and its not too bad of a drive to San Diego if you need a US fix.

Skirting the Cortez Sea and on to La Paz, ("Peace" in english), I stayed at the Posada De Sol. A great 10 room hotel just west of el centro. Here is a picture of the sun setting just off the malecon in el centro.
I rode out of La Paz to Todos Santos, determined to get a good deal on a room at the Hotel California:

But they wouldnt bargain. 2000 pesos a night, ($200. US). So while someone was "living it up at the Hotel California" it wasnt me. I stayed across the street for 350 pesos and slept comfortably and safely waking up to my usual morning set up of Starbucks espresso... My riding gear doesnt amount to much down here..

Todos Santos has an awesome bookstore. As I hunkered down here for a few hours reading, it reminded me of home, when Robin and I would make our weekly visit to the best bookstore in the world, Tattered Cover.

I clebrated the great hotel rate with a sit down dinner. Best shrimp fajitas and Margarita I ever had.

I will post more tomorrow, whilst doing some laundry, of the ferry ride across the Cortez. It was first class, Mexican style...
