La Paz1

Up and on the road by 8. I love these early starts as we are usually in our camps around noonish and have time to explore. The day began driving through the plateau ( it is really big ). But the green quickly faded and it became what I thought the Baja would be like.





By 11, the Bay of La Paz was in view, and we descend down into a busy metropolitan area. Our camp (Casa Blanca) is in the middle of town, beside the hospital. It is a very nice spot – and the showers had hot water, and lots of pressure, and sprayed the water on you, not all around the room. It felt really good. This place has a nice pool ( unheated and cold right now ), tennis courts ( and local kids were getting lessons ).

As we were packing up, a lady came over to say hi - Bonnie Towne from Hatzic Prairie. I couldn’t believe it. George had both her kids when he was principal. It’s really a small world.
