Southern California, Mexico


Friday afternoon we flew into Los Cabos with three suitcases, two cats, one large bike box, and the clothes on our backs.  The weather: sunny and 78 degrees.  In La Paz there are 340 days of sunshine per year.  Inland it is arid but the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez have the place surrounded and the shoreline is lush.  It only takes 1-2 hours to drive from one coast to the other.

Axel having mango smoothie in our hometown of the moment: La Paz, BCS, Mexico.

Hermes, coming out of baggage claim.  Maggie is in there somewhere, too.

Los gatos y la bicicleta

Jon manages to wedge la bicicleta into the rental car.

I manage to wedge Axel and the cats and the suitcases into the rental car.

This guy has way more elbow room than us.

We found the wide open space very soon.  Here Axel shows Jon a rock from at Playa Balandra (Whale Beach).  There are many whales and dolphins around these parts.  Jon and I saw a whale on the drive in.

I could probably fill an album with pictures of happy beach boy.

An homage to mi padre, who will be arriving here for a visit on February 13th!  This is the sunset from the rooftop of our apartment.

Last night we went out to a fancy restaurant and Jon fed this feral cat clam ceviche.

After dinner we strolled the Malecon, which is dotted with many fine statues.  Above Axel poses with Jacques Cousteau.  Senor Cousteau said that this area is the world's aquarium; we will get out snorkeling soon.

Axel liked this statue.

Jon liked this statue.
