... br><br>Well, this afternoon we noticed that Blackie's neck has a serious laceration. <br><br>We'd heard of Bajadogs, is a non-profit rescue that aids injured or ill dogs. So we got in contact with them and headed out to their property. It is a 20 minute drive off hardtop road. Baja desert, dust and cactus. And lots of lizards. So we ...

... cove, played catch with Tanka, and watched a group of small boys thoroughly enjoying their huge, shallow play area. <br><br>We pulled out our chairs and drank a few beers and just kept sighing... so peaceful.<br><br>For dinner, Paul cooked up some milanesa (thin steak) for beef tacos with onions, jalepenos, garlic, beans, rice &amp; avocado... hmm-hmm good!

... really cool about this site were all of the canyons carved into the rocks. It made for some great exploration and some fun swim-thrus. What sucked? Current!! It became intense here before long. The cutouts offered some protection, but when it was time to find the line to go back up, we found ourselves really, really working. We wanted to find the stern line to the back of the boat, but it just wasn't making itself that obvious. Instead, we ...

... of dive gear came in right at 50 pounds, and my carry-on didn't seem much lighter. TSA certainly didn't like the "clutter" of my bag, to put it politely. I found a Corona bottle opener that will get a fair amount of use back home. Maybe even here! I also found small sun and moon wall hangings that I thought were perfectly sized for future placement next to some of the photos from this trip. Other than that, it was great just to ...

We then went ashore to alocal bar,where they sang to me,rang the bells ...

... ride to La Paz. However, once we got closer to the city we were both tired, hungry, hot and my butt hurt like hell!! Entering town we drove close to the malecon (seaside boardwalk) and found a cute B&amp;B called Casa Tuscany run by an Aussie-Kiwi couple named Patricia and Ken. The place was gorgeous and it had a fast wireless internet connection and awesome breakfast (and coffee!!). The entire place only had 4 rooms and only one other was occupied by a young Italian ...

... We finally got sorted and are staying at a great hostel, with a kitchen and internet. It is $23, which is a lot more than we have been paying, but it is great for this part of the world. I wish I had pictures to show you what it is like here. The beaches are white sand and the sea is clear blue and green, it is really very pretty. The people here are really nice and the fish tacos are to die for!!!!

... Our first impression of Mexican towns was that of cheaply-erected concrete buildings, often painted in bold colours, and scores of car repair centres. Not exactly beautiful but not exactly ugly. There was a refreshing lack of adverts, after our stay in California. What adverts that did exist were mostly for Tecate beer and Coca Cola (of course).<br><br><br>At the small bus station we were led by a kindly man to another bus station. He even phoned the hostel for us and booked us in ...
