Baja California Vacation
We had a wonderful, relaxing, fun and sunny trip to Baja. We were lucky enough to be there during Carnival, swim with sea lions, see the lunar eclipse while eating tacos on the beach, and see whales and fish and bat rays galore.
We arrived in La Paz and rented a car to visit La Paz, Cabo Pulmo, and Todos Santos for 7 days. We saw so much in those few days and had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, drinking "floofy" drinks (and light beer..) on the beach, and just relaxing in the warm weather. Although most of the places we visited were somewhat tourist-driven they each had their own local flavor and style, amazingly it didn't detract from the wonderful atmosphere of the place. The food we had in Cabo Pulmo, a tiny tiny little village, was really amazing, the surfing was great near Todos Santos, and Carnival in La Paz was really a blast.
Somehow, Portland has had some warm weather since we got back.. maybe we brought it back with us?
You can see the rest of the pictures here, but here's some teaser photos:
