meeting the boys

in the morning we get up leisurely since all we have to so is get to san ignacio to meet jim and john and its only about 80 miles on pavement. we want to look at santa rosalia and the iron church designed by gustave eiffel of eiffel tower fame. there is a lot of military roaming about in santa rosalia, and we later hear that this town is extremely corrupt. it must be since we see two truck loads of troups in this tiny town in the matter of an hour. it's a shame because it looks like a cute town and it would be fun to hang out there.



we look at the church but can't really go in because there is a wedding. we run into some other travelers that thought they knew paige, because how many women with pink pig tails on motorcycles are there? turns out, more than one, i guess there is another one in LA.



we do the remaining 40 miles to san ignacio, and try to find a hotel. this is the first time we run into booked out hotels, so we have to Enter The American Sector and take rooms at the La Pinta. they do have a swimming pool, but in this weather who cares?



at about 4 we make it to the zocolo and wait for jim and john who show up a little later all wind blown and tired from a 350 mile ride to get here. i'm glad they are here and we get them situated in the hotel and have lobster for dinner in town and make plans for the next day. alex isn't sure if she wants to come to scorpion bay down south but we decide that she should at least come out to the bahia de san ignacio and watch the whales with us, because that was really the whole point to meet in san ignacio.



i can't wait to go out on a boat and jim know's this guy antonio from antonios ecotours, so we'll find him tomorrow
