For the first time in about three weeks, we pointed the Taco(ma) north and began our voyage up the Pacific side of Baja.
First stop was in Todo Santos, the location of the famous "Hotel California" from the song by The Eagles. This is located only about 50 miles north of Cabo San Lucas so we arrived early in the day.
The hotel still stands proudly in the Center of town but much of the rest of the town looks as though it took a sizeable hit from the oft mentioned hurricane of last fall. There just happens to be an Art Festival taking place in town and several tour busses were busy offloading tourists who were rapidly filling the town.
We stayed long enough to take a look at the hotel and a fair number of shops and galleries before deciding to continue on.
The next town up the road is La Paz, where we had left just a couple of days ago. Instead of returning for another evening, we consulted the map. Ciudad Constitucion was the next city on the highway, but not too far from there is a small town on the Pacific coast, Puerto San Carlos. It can even be accessed from a paved road!
We booked a room at the Hotel Alcatraz, a very cute little place on the edge of town that has received great online reviews.
After settling in, we took a walk around town. That revealed a fishing village with a mix of clams and shrimp seeming to be the main stays.
A little dinner back at the hotel and we'll be good 'till morning. Not sure yet where we'll end up tomorrow.
