Valle de Guadelupe, Feb 2-3, 13

 

This is our last stop before leaving Baja, Mexico.  We drove to Valle de Guadelupe which is an area that has many vineyards and winerys.  We stayed at an RV park called Surdo Mudo which is actually run and owned by a Deaf School here in Northern Baja.  It was quite lovely with many orange and lemon trees among the palms trees.  We went to winery -- L A Cetto.  We toured the winery and then had a tasting of lots of the different wines that they make.  Tomorrow we leave for Tecate to cross the border back into California.  We are staying at the same RV Park in EL Cahon and watching the superbowl with Dan and Lisa (our new friends and wagon masters of the trip).  Then we are onto Las Vegas for a couple of days.

Vicente Guerrero, Feb 1, 13

Today we drove to Vicente Guerrero...just a little closer to the end.  We stayed behind a restaurant called Baja Fiesta.  This is where we had out last meal as a group.  It was a good evening.  Tomorrow we are on our way to the vineyards of the Baja.

Bahia de los Angeles, Jan 30-31, 13

Off to the beach again!  We are going to Bahia de los Angeles.  There is only one road into this town off of the main highway 1.  Once we turned off the main highway it was a 35 mile drive to the town.  This town only got electricity 3 years ago (that is how rustic some parts of the Baja are).  It is a very beautiful area.  Not a lot of people live in there.  The campsite was called Brisa Marina.  The only services offered were -- dump.  We parked in a spot that was right along the beach.  There were tons of shells all along the beach.  It was a low key day--later in the afternoon we had a "Happy Hour" and some locals and other RVer's came by.  The next morning it was a bit overcast but Mike and I went out in a 2 man kayak.  It was lovely and you could see right into the water  and the fish swimming around.  Later on we took a little tour around town.  The town at one time had been a big mining town -- so we checked out the Museum -- which was very interesting.  There is a 92 year old American man, Herman Hill, who was a big miner way back.  We went by to visit him and he shared some very amusing stories about his life and mining days.  He had written a book about his experiences -- Mike bought it.  Later we went back to the beach and walked with the dogs to the light house.  All in all ... a good time in Bahia.

Who are those people?

Guerrero Negro, Jan 29, 13

We are on our way north again.  Today is just a big travel day.  We left Mulege and are driving to Guerrero Negro -- we stayed here on our way south when we went to see the whales.  This time we are staying at a different campground that is behind a restaurant called Mario's.  The RV lot was paved with huge clam shells.  Off to the side of the lot there are piles and piles of plate size clam shells.  We ate Mario's for dinner and tomorrow we are off to Bahia de los Angeles.
