We arrived in La Paz, just a short distance from our final southern destination of Cabo San Lucas. We'll be heading there tomorrow.
The truck was showing its hard miles and often rough trail with several pounds of dust in every nook and cranny imaginable. To do it, and us a favor, our first stop was a well deserved car wash. The truck is looking pretty darned nice now. A few scratches are evident along the sides from the cactus and other bushes that were trying to impede our off road excursion, but they are only in the clear coat so I should be able to buff them out.
We are staying at the Hotel Perla in La Paz. A very nice hotel just across the street from the malecon and waterfront. Built in 1941 but obviously kept up to date through the years. La Paz, by the way, is the capitol of Baja California Sur.
Since we are only spending uno noche (one night) here, we only had time to visit a couple of our favorite spots: Stella Cucina Alforno and Tailhunter Restaurant Bar & Fubar Cantina. It also happens to be La Paz Carnival this weekend.
Because of the carnival, the street along the malecon is lined with fair type games, rides and vendors. It was fun to walk along and see the excitement on the faces of the little children with their families, anticipating all of the thrills, trinkets and sweets.
Sunday morning we will leave here for Los Cabos. As long as the roads have been repaired since last year, we will take the 2nd longest route to Cabo, continuing along Highway 1, through San Jose del Cabo and into Cabo San Lucas.
