Mexico

Hola from Baja!
Tonight we are in El Rosario at this awesome motel:This place is only 27.00 a night, about 350 pesos! There are more pictures of the room, but uploading here takes forever and I want to post pictures of other things.
Last night we were near San Quintin at El Pabellon RV park. It was right on the beach. Here was the view from our van:















So far, Baja has been pretty fantastic. The people are friendly, the food is great and its beautiful. Although, the weather is a bit colder than I was expecting. But tomorrow we are heading to Bahia de Los Angeles where it is supposed to be warmer. But I am having a hard time looking up weather in Mexico in english so I actually dont know. The language barrier is definitely tough at times. A lot of people know english, but when they don't, I struggle badly. Perhaps I should have learned more spanish before I left. Here is Jack learning some spanish:
















The first campground we were in was about 20 miles off the highway on this crazy unpaved road. It was an awesome place that was free, right on the ocean. The tidepools were pretty amazing. We saw big starfish, fish, crabs of all sorts and lots of beautiful anemone and urchins. I also saw this crazy pink thing that looked like it had a bunch of arms on it. I dont know if starfish have more than 5 arms but I dont know what else it could have been. It rained super crazy our second night there and the road out was way worse than when we drove in. We were almost out on the highway when we hit a puddle that was a lot deeper than we thought (it was like a small lake!) and the van stopped because the engine had been flooded. So we had to sit there for quite awhile until it dried out. But I must say we had the cutest roadblocks ever on the way in:
















Baby cows! Cute!

Well, I am going to go lay down in our big ol' king size bed for the evening.

Miss everyone!

Lots of love

There are some starfish with a whole bunch of arms, so perhaps that's what you saw!

Also, amazing. Continue to have a wonderful time (and see some birds, even if accidentally :D)!
