Yelapa to the Baja!

I don't have a lot of photos to share. I forgot my camera in the truck when we went to Yelapa and then we spent much of our time travelling and doing little else over the last couple of days. We drove from Puerto Vallarta to a town named Culiacan in the state of Sinoloa. Then we drove the next day to Tompolobampo, a town outside of Los Mochis where we arranged to take the ferry.

The ferry left at 11pm and we got ourselves a cabin since it was late at night. I didn't think it would be too comfortable for us trying to sleep in regular chairs in the passenger cabin. After seeing it, I was relieved. We slept rather well and the entire trip was over in a blink. We arrived around 6am but it took until 8am to unload the boat and get everyone through the military check point.

Unlike what I had thought in advance, the military guys are very friendly and most of them smile and even have conversations with us.

After arriving in La Paz and finding ourselves feeling quite awake, we decided to hit the road and we are now in a place called Loreto on the East Coast of the Baja. The Sea of Cortez is quite blue and the beach is littered with whole shells.

That is it for tonight guys, here are some photos.

A tree on the malecon in Tompolobampo, the last town we spent time in on the mainland in Mexico.

A quick pic taken out the window of the truck by Holly. The Baja is full of tall cactus instead of trees.

A view of the road ahead, taken by Holly. There is a little speck in the photo... that is Shawn getting way ahead of us.

This is the view of a little place called Juncito or something like that. It was a tiny little village that appeared to be touristy and there was an RV park nearby on the other shore. I wanted to go down and see if they had anywhere to stay but Shawn was sceptical.

No pics of Loreto yet... perhaps tomorrow.
