We pulled up steaks today and headed to La Paz. Not directly, however. Several people we had talked to, highly recommended we make the trip to see the Mission in San Javier. So we did. The winding little road to the Mission is carved into the side mountain. By the size and number of washouts and slides it appears it was barely hanging on to the mountain for much of its 40 or so kilometres.
The Mission is very impressive and situated in a beautiful little town of about 300 inhabitants.
Back on the main highway, it was about 200 miles to our nights destination. Short enough but the narrow road demands full attention.
We did make a quick stop for a lunch burrito at an extremely cute cocina.
Into town, it was easy to find the hotel that I'd stayed at on a previous motorcycle trip. Located just across the street from their very nice and quite long malecon.
Monday, February 23rd
Now that things have calmed down on the malecon and the work week has begun for the "other people", it was a much more relaxing stroll around town.
We had walked down the malecon for a mile or more then turned up town to see what the town looks off the beach. Pretty much as we had suspected, a working town. Nice place.
We hopped in the truck when we got back and drove out to the ferry terminal to look at the many resorts and fancy communities on the way. A little lunch at what I call "The Sand Bar" and it was time to take the Tacoma for a much needed bath. All of the time spent off road and fording streams can really leave a thick layer of mud and dust on everything.
An excellent dinner at "The Tail Hunter" while watching the sun set. We're leaving for Cabo in the morning.
