Baja - Day 4

Dorothy and I walked over to the kitchen this morning and got the guys breakfast tacos.

The road turned inland today so we only saw glimpses of the Pacific Ocean – miles and miles of pristine beach. Whenever we got close to the water we saw osprey nests on electric poles.  When was the last time you saw glass insulators?  The road was less mountainous and straighter. The pot holes are bad enough but all the small towns have “topas” which just adds insult to injury!

A weird driving rule here – you never turn your left hand turn signal on when making a left hand turn – you only use it to let traffic behind you know it is clear to pass! Go figure!

Fruits and vegetables are not allowed to be brought into Baja Sur so we all cleaned out our RV’s and gave everything to Maria at the ranch last night. Today we passed through an inspection station where they charged us 20 pesos ($1.00!) to spray our tires, axles and undercarriages with pesticide.
Reminded me of Emily, in Kuala Lumpur, running into the house and shutting all the doors when they sprayed for mosquitoes, saying “you can’t breafth that stuff!”


Dinner tonight at the RV park – excellent food and margaritas!
