Hotel Plaza Loreto

... we read about but passed on it due to unfriendliness. Did hit a good taco stand before moving on to Loreto - yeah! Loreto and Mike and Julie's Iguana Inn!

Met Lee who was the only other guest (4 rooms total), walked a bit on the seawall walkway, enjoyed some bread & wine from LA Cetto and cooked quesadillas on the outside grill setup. A delightful afternoon/evening, listening to the ...

... on our laptop has become a nightly ritual. How else would we keep up with all the new pop culture references such as: "As a matter of fact, Kenneth, socio-economically speaking you are actually an inner city Latina." "Hola!" Laynni also strongly recommends that I mention the fact she beat me in a race down the beach. Of course, I gave her a pretty good head start, left some change in my pocket that turned out to be very distracting and at ...

... e*rly evening. Mulege is * l*id-b*ck sm*ll town on * river close to the co*st. We hooked up with fellow Brit Mick from Cortez Adventures, who took us snorkelling *nd introduced us to his 'office' - the Se* of Cortez. The visibility w*sn't gre*t but it w*s * good pl*ce to get f*mili*r with wh*t's out there. From Mulege we c*ught the bus down the co*st to the l*rger town of Loreto where we're st*ying for * few d*ys. We got * room ...

... be more of just an experience I'd rather not have to repeat anytime soon. I did have a good time, don't get me wrong, but I can think of many other places I'd rather get drunk and pass out in a cheap hotel. If you haven't been there go just for the experience and the t-shirt.

... where the grey whales breed each winter. We camped on the beach beside the lagoon for one night, listening to the whales blow water out their blowholes. After spending 2 nights farther south near Mulege (another small town), we are now in Loreto, the first bigger, somewhat tourist-orientated city on our trip. It's a nice change from the dust and sand. We have on our "city" clothes tonight. Highlights of the last 2 or so weeks: - seeing the sights in LA ...

... than being let in!). Quite an interesting walk-over border crossing - no-one seemed remotely interested in the traffic coming this direction (the same can't be said about the other direction - gotta love US immigration!). Anyway, found a place to stay, (i,m fairly sure the usual length of stay in this partular hotel is around one hour..) and managed to last a good 14 hrs in 'TJ' before it got to ...

... miljon ljudi povsod ... No, po voznji po Coastal Hwy in opazovanju valov in prelepih hisk in kjer je imela vsaka kul hisa (big ass vila) - svoj semafor :) in kjer dejansko zgleda tko kokr v movies - in kjer je dejansko CISTO!, sva se ustavila na polovici poti in sla pogledat sunset (ja, tuki VLAK vozi ob obali) in pol pocas nazaj (ker ni tok blizu kokr zgleda). Sla sva se jest v Mehisko v surf paradise cityu, kjer majo surfers hall of fame (HUDO) in najbolj ...

... clean all for only N$250.00 per noche or about $22.50USD. Cuarto seis, our room, opens onto a pleasant shaded common terrace with a few rocking chairs and several friendly cats. Desayuno or breakfast of fresh fruit, croissant, and coffee is included in the price. The young Mexican woman who operates the Posada is leasing it from the owner and fixing up one room at a time as the pesos come in. She's very friendly and keeps everything clean. She also operates a ...

... I stayed in for another night of Black Jack (I think I am getting good and might have to return to Vegas to play), and accidently spilt my rose wine all over Pedro's table mat. Whoops. He wasn't too mad though. One of the ladies who was playing was from new Jersey and I couldn't help thinking of Madonna in Who's That Girl - I told her and she found it funny - I was glad about that. Alcohol induced sleep soon followed.

... was moving in with us for the remainder of our stay. Lucky girls got the showered version of us. They oohed and ahhed at the fabulous condo (as did we and everyone else who came by). Sze and I went grocery shopping at Star Market on S. Kihei Road (note: everything that I give the street location of is S. Kihei Road). We bought a couple of pineapples ...
