Whiskey got us up just in time to watch the sun rise this morning at around 7:05am. It was really pretty. Not a cloud in the sky the whole day, but there was a really strong wind that made it not as nice. I'm sure we won't get any

On the beach
Friday December 21...10:30pm
We ended up having to pay $8 to stay over last night...definitely not worth it, but we had already stayed, so would have had a hard time arguing this morning. Paid it...and we're on our way.

Didn't sleep the best last night. We parked under a tree, and although it didn't rain last night, it was really humid and the dew dripping from the tree onto Sherman's roof was like the Chinese water torture!

Left the campsite at Bahia de los Angeles and drove into town to try the internet, but couldn't get connected. We planned a bit of a longer drive today because there's not much to see in the desert between here and San Ignacio.

Bahia de los Angeles (day 2)
Tuesday December 18...9:00pm
Relaxed for the morning. Clear and sunny...temperature about 22 degrees. Spoke to one of the regulars here...an older guy from Alberta who says that the last week here has been terrible weather. Hopefully today is the start of a

Up early again this morning. It was going to be about an hour drive to the turnoff towards Bahia de los Angeles, a little rustic beach community that apparently has abundant sea life and nice scenery. The road is mostly flat in

Catavina
Sunday December 16...10:15pm
Up and on the road by 8am this morning. We figure on doing no more than 3 hours driving on the days that we do drive, so by getting on the road early we can be pretty much set up by lunch hour or thereabouts. Plus, it gives lots of time if anything unforseen happens along the way.

San Quintin (day 2)
Saturday December 15...10:00pm
The guy two doors down had his generator running at 7:55am. Now we were already up and awake...but that doesn't matter. It's just not good campground etiquette to be running your genset when others might be sleeping. Some people's kids...! But despite that, we had pretty much already decided we were going to hang around here for another night.

On the road by 9am, and it turned out to be a good thing. The road south has some twisty windy parts, and overall it's pretty slow going. I'd think we probably averaged about 60 km/h if you took into consideration our checking

Another nice sunny day today. Gets a little chilly at night though...we figure it went down to around 10 degrees. Back up to about 22 around lunch hour, and then it starts cooling off fairly quickly during the afternoon. Still, it was

Woke up around 7am and took Whiskey for a walk on the beach. She really seems to like walking on the beach...lots of different sniffs and smells, and she can run around with no problem. It was a beautiful clear blue sky this morning, Temperature about 10C.

Ruth's post - Meeting up with Kevin
Ruth and Colin's Day - Tuesday December 11
I am only writing my day up until I meet up with Kevin as he has written the journal for today. We had breakfast and cleaned up, moved into the parking lot so that we could fill the water tank up before heading across the border.

I was up early this morning....around 6:30am because my couchsurfing host David was going to drive me up to the main border crossing at San Diego and Tijuana. We dropped his son off at school first, and made our way

Ruth's post - Shelter Island, San Diego (day 2)
Ruth and Colin's Day - Monday, December 10
We had a nice relaxing kind of morning, Sherman was moved to the parking lot off the street where we will stay for the day, before going back to the street tonight. You can`t park overnight in the parking lot, they only allow parking between 6am and 10pm, but there is no problem parking on the street at night.

I didn't sleep well last night. No alarm clock, and no wake up call service...so I was all worried about not getting up in time to get the bus from Manzanillo to Colima. So after a tossing and turning type of sleep, I got up at 7am.
