Baja - Day 5

I was finally able to publish my blog last night and this morning – good internet at the Rice ‘N Beans restaurant. More breakfast tacos for Roger & Tommy!

The last military stop took forever because the guards came into our rigs and “snooped!” Our guy just acted like he was curious to see the inside – opened the pantry, the frig and the freezer but did not take anything. One tried to take two beers and Wally told him “no, they are mine!” Tommy’s guy picked up his two Bluetooth speakers, handed one back to Tommy and put the other in his pocket and said “mine?” – Tommy let him have it but, John, our wagon master said he shouldn’t have because they’ll just expect bribes from the next group.

We went into St. Ignacio this morning to see a lovely old church on the town square. The local ice cream shop served as breakfast for many.

The weather is beautiful – in the 80’s with a breeze.  We only drove about a 100 miles today – past the Volcan de Tres Virgenes or the 3 Virgins Volcano and then down the Cuesta del Infierno or as all of us called it “The Hill From Hell!” As we passed through the town of Santa Rosalia we caught our first glimpse of the Sea of Cortez – deep blue water with Caribbean blue and sand beaches.
