Hotel Posada De Las Flores Loreto

... I was his girlfriend, so that became a little uncomfortable.... but otherwise it was fabulous. We had lots of music that everyone danced to, food and fun guests. It is for sure a day I will always remember. (And now that I´ve written it down in this blog, I will for sure never forget!) J


Ok, I am almost done, I promise!!! As we allll know, last Thursday was my favorite day of the year, Turkey Day. I was really upset that I wouldn´t be at Uncle ...

... which was converted from a theatre. Is amazing with paintings on the roof, several tiered stories and of course the stage which is a cafe. ¿Quanto questa la torta?

Getting used to wandering around the city. We're right near Av de Julio which is a massive 11 laned road where you dash across each section when the man goes white. Juggling boys and men selling beach balls come running out as the lights go red to try and sell their goods. Nice ...

... has kept us stoping often for cafe con crema, but that doesnt bother us much - happy to relax with a cup of coffee anytime!

... Casa Rosa, the seat of the national government. We were going there to take the English tour which we had to book, unfortunately when we arrived we were told that there were no more tours of the building, even though this months tourist guide told us there were. In the end we could only get pictures of the outside, which included the balcony where Evita gave her famous speeches. After this we went for lunch and then after went to the museum of the Cabilado. This building is ...

... Think I am just being cynical? We have to travel about 183 nautical miles tonight to La Paz....the ship is moving at 10 knots an hour....I can run faster than that!!!! They call it "scenic cruising"!! LMAO!!! We could leave Loreto at midnight and be in La Paz by 7:00 am tomorrow with no problem at all! If you're looking for a place to spend a week....or better still a month....in the sunshine, Loreto, Baja California Sur is the place! Hoping all is well at home!

... to head in the direction of a block with a variety of restaurants for dinner. I hung a right (directionally speaking) out the front doors and wandered through a pretty desolate area. Our cab driver a couple nights later pointed this out as the not nice part of town. Whoops...D- in map reading for Karen. I did discover that Mendoza will be remembered as the city of trenches (used for drainage). The trenches you will see in my pictures are the ...

Reminded me of 19th century leper colonies except that in this case their isolation is a result of their Tim Horton's mugs and inexplicable devotion to ice hockey. We spent a couple nice relaxing days on Santispac Beach, walking and biking during the day, spending our ...

... telephone, nous montre ses photos. Ca donne trop envie mais ca n'a pas l'air evident, les sommets atteingent facilement 5000m, les plus hauts sont a 6500m, on verra ce qu'on peut faire. On cherche un nouveau sac pour Lucie en vain avant de rentrer a l'auberge pour un enorme barbecue. Je n'avais jamais vu autant de viande et les argentins peuvent en manger sans fin.

... mechanics we have realised just quite how screwed we may be. We hope there may be something we can use in Ensenada, a mere 500 mile backtrack. So tommorrow we set off, one bike down. Heres hoping. Ok, so, Chris put on his best talking trousers and managed to engratiate himself with two Tijuana-egan atourneys who were riding their BMW bikes down Baja. They suggested that we try their amigo Bucho, a local ...

... truck key-getting process, I'm planning on scooting myself directly over the mountain-range to the Pacific ocean side . . . with my surf stuff. (San Somewhere here I come! -- "shout out" to Juan & Juan ; ) Esteban
