After a late departure from San Diego I will detail later save we finally the border crossing in Tijuana...Viva Mexico! We had to put Wal-Mart and best buy, a few things to go, but we were finally on our way. We crossed the border and used to find the trusty handheld Garmin GPS Hertz Rent a car in Tijuana. We collected our vehicle and went to Rosarito to visit my mom, Fernando and my little sisters. Cristina I starve, and were always slow, so we were pleased to see that my mother on the stove had some Polo Guisado. We ate some Pollo, Rices and some Quesadillas and we waited until Fernando came back from work. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we crossed the border and Cristina and forget your driver's license. Fernando had to get the license from my home before to come home Rosarito stopped.

We loaded the car and we were way South Baja California. We stopped for gas and tried some famous tacos from "El Yaqui" in Rosarito, but Taco stand was closed. We received some good and tasty tacos from "Tacos y Tortas Norteños," the

meet our appetites, and got us going. We began, drive, and it was around 7 pm. We made it to Ensenada and got a little lost, cause of the "MEX 1" went highway in the city, but we were quickly on our way and on the road again. We stopped found in Bahia San Hotel Quintin and the old mill. We arrived very late and the place looked well kept and was right on the waterfront. It was about 11: 30 pm when we arrived and the reception at the old mill hotel was closed. They had a note on your door that said rooms 15 was open and available and costs $35 USD. From there, we stayed and paid in the following morning, but we decided our tent place. We had the best view of the beach! Next to the water.

San Quintin, San Ignacio

We woke up at 6 am and packed our tents and sleeping bags. We have seen a little stroll around the Bay of San beautiful views and in our car we were loaded on the way Quintin. We stopped in El Rosario and had breakfast at the famous "Mama Espinoza's." This place is known as an expat Hang-Out and the check boxes for the Baja 1000. Espinoza's has a small hotel and a great restaurant that is also a starting point for the team of NGOs in the region. Steve McQueen is also known to his keep as cris claims to have made.

We traveled from El Rosario, Guerro Negro. We pass Guerro Negro Fort and moved a few miles past the Laguna Ojo de Liebre. We had to drive through 27 km of dirt road that was not ideal for our little rented limousine. An apartment we managed to get and in the sand on our way. We finally Bay made it and saw many gray whales, the birth of the Bank. We were late for a boat tour and we decided to continue to San

Ignacio.
We arrived in San Ignacio at about 7 pm. It was dark, but from the looks of the place it should enjoy a beautiful city. There are Palm trees everywhere and our tent is directly on a river. I can't wait to see waking up in the morning to the attractions.

An observation I've made today was that other travellers we saw are not all your normal 20 something backpackers flows through life, but a more mature type of Travlerer place. Many appear here for adventure, action sports or to find himself. We seen many Indivduals and groups in motorcycles, dirt bikes, buggies, off road trucks, mountain bikes, RV and tent campers. Baja is definitely a place to enjoy nature and the fun involved in the open air.
