Mexico/Baja California Adventure travel 2005
We have completed another day! 90 km - 58 miles and have ended up in a most delightful campground past San Quintin Bay: Cielito Lindo campground, motel, restaurant ++. A dog just crossed the dance floor as we finished a sumptuous meal. He made us think of the pack of dogs that crossed highway 1 today. Couldn't believe they get across unscathed in the middle of all this crazy Sunday afternoon traffic of buses, 18 wheelers, SUV's, and local cars sputtering diesel and kicking up dirt. The 18 wheelers are still polite; the local bus service, less so; and the big SUV's from California. a little ruder still! But on the whole, we are receiving thumbs up and smiles, as riders in the cars hang out of the windows to holler encouragment. Thank goodness - we need it! Our touristas are still causing us to flag. This morning we had a difficult time, but after a terrific lunch (the Mexican food is tasty and bountiful), we perked up until we hit about 80K and still couldn't find a campground. A son and his parents who had lived in Oregon for 9 years, returned and opened our lunch restaurant - a very nice establishment in the midst of a thriving pueblos. As we continue to settle into this new culture and environment, we wonder why someone would leave the states to live here. The answer: "Because I am Mexican".
