Magnificent Baja Scenery! Valley of the Cirios (Boojum trees)


The REQUIRED roadside fresh strawberry purchase
Happiness is . . . .
"Fantabulous" lunch at Mama Espinosa's in El Rosario
At the long, slow "pit stop" - just one working toilet folks (and a line forms)  

Finding a step up for the second van.... "this will work". 
Day Three is our MAIN EVENT!
Whale Watching Day
Orientation Meeting at Laguna Tours
And then out into the boats
Get your cameras ready for the action!

Baby whale playing with the seaweed.
 




    
Do you see the baby?  . . . . He is looking at you , too!

And then it happened . . . The whale touched a human!
And Emma bought the t-shirt to prove it!
A great whale watching Day!
And on the way back - a special treat.
Lounging in the Sun
What a life!

A stop at the Salt Mine manufacturing plant


Is it SNOW AND ICE? . . .  Nope. Just salt and water!  

"After-Party" at Malarrimo
A Celebration Dinner for everyone tonight!
Onto San Ignacio for a quick trip to the TROPICS! 


 An oasis in the desert. Midway across the Baja.
And the old Mission church in the typical cobblestone town square.
A Sunny-Flowery lunch stop at Rice & Beans in San Ignacio

And, then back it is  - once again thru the Cirio "Forest"

At Coco's Corner - on the old Dirt Road  (Across Baja on the authentic route) 
These bathroom stops keep getting weirder and weirder.....
 
Final evening in San Felipe and then it will be back home.

The drivers are just gonna rest up a bit . . .


And, we'll be all ready to go again soon.

SO . . .Who had a good time?
