January days

Camp in Juncalito

Well I guess that is January just about finished and we are not even to the bottom of the Baja yet.

We have been taking our time this year because we have more of it. A side trip into Bahia de Los Angeles (Bay of Angels) was a nice diversion from the main Hwy 1, the road was newly paved in the last 2 years and there were fewer semi-trucks to worry about passing. Once in B of A we enjoyed getting out in the kayaks for the first time, the weather is alittle windier this year but still managable in the boats. It is beautiful setting in B of A, a sheltered bay surrounded by little islands.

After leaving B of A we continued south, but came to an accident just north of San Ignacio. A Semi carrying a huge transformer was jacknifed and traffic was stopped in both directions. We ended up camping on the hyway until one a.m. when the army finally managed to get things moving.

On to Juncalito just south of Loreto. It has been a great 10 days here already. Walking in the morning, a few bike rides, I`m rideing the Suz 400 now, a few kayaks rides and because it is little windier we are trying to surf the waves in the boats, what a blast!!! I think I ended up spending more time in the water than on the water, but fun all the same. Ken has been fishing a little and we have been on a diet of fish tacos for lunch. `Living off the land` as Ken calls it, it is good to say the least.

Tuesday its is off to La Paz to see our friends the Hillbillys from Tennesse. Gene has not been feeling great lately so he is having tests done to see what is up. Hope it isn t anything too serious.

Well look at the time the morning is gone already and lunch awaits, or should I say we await lunch.

This afternoon, a bike ride, a kayak paddle, a walk, a little shopping in Loreto, or maybe a Spanish lesson. Descisions, descisions!!
