Tranquillo

No, that is not a misprint on the taco counter to your left. Lindsay has somehow managed to keep the count (reasonably) close. The fish tacos seem to get better with every mile we drive south and ten bucks will get you eight tacos and two beers- heaven. Other than that, not a whole lot to report. One turned over tractor trailer (we stopped to make sure everyone was ok), a whole lot of boojum trees (came loose from a Dr Suess book), and several days of hammock laying and beach reading have kept us smilin'. 

 

Boojum tree, about 40' tall!

 Our palapa @ Bahia de Los Angeles

At Bahia de Los Angeles we briefly met another group headed to Argentina. Very fortunate and random- we gave them one of our freshly minted business cards and I don't think we've seen the last of them. 

The camping has been great- averaging about $12/night on the beach with bathrooms and showers. Tonight we are in Guerrero Negro, a small town on the west coast about halfway down baja. We are technically two states away from the border as we passed into Baja California Sur just before getting here. Tomorrow we make for Mulage and Bahia Concepcion on the Sea of Cortez, and after a night or two, may push for La Paz. 

yes!

The view from the bedroom into the kitchen

A small side note- we purchased a pretty cool (we thought) gadget that purifies water (as opposed to just filtering it) with UV light. We left the backpacking filters north of the border. It came with a sweet charging case with a solar panel and cost about $160. And it made it 4 days. Just quit. We had stocked up with iodine tabs and would like to use them for emergency only as they taste terrible. I've read about purifying with bleach- about a teaspoon/ten gallons. Anyone out there used this method for any type of duration? 

Topes!
