The beginning of relaxation

Sand blowing across the road ahead of us as we drive through Glamis in southern Arizona.

That is one really big, old cactus...or is it just a little mini Ken?

Why does my dinner always look bigger than Ken's?

The full moon over La Paz.

Well, here we are in La Paz after 7 days of driving. We took it easy this year, driving down from Canada, the roads were not the best in northern USA but we have to say that the roads in the Baja made up for those up north. Any new road they putting down on the Baja is at least a foot wider (doesn't sound like much but it makes a huge difference) and for some reason the roads are quieter this year with fewer RVs on the road. The beaches are quieter also, lots of room on most for more campers. The winds were very bad around Cantvina, blowing the truck and camper around quite a bit. Semis were actually blown off the road.

But here in La Paz the weather is warmer than usual and we are liking it. We arrived in Comitan around 3 and by 6:30 we had the camper off, were unpacked,visited a few friends and were sitting down to our first Mexican dinner of tacos. We had to take the camper off the truck because we had a broken water line in the camper, that Ken neatly fixed in Lake Havasu, we will have to let the bottom of the camper dry out for a few days. Besides that one little problem with the water everything is great and now we are looking forward to getting out the bikes, doing a little mountain biking and motorcycling.

So much to do and so little time, only 7 weeks this year.
