Day 33

Today was our travel day to La Paz by way of Todos Santos.  I would like to comment on the efficient roadways in Cabo San Lucas.  There are very few traffic lights although the traffic moves effectively. They have laterals or frontage roads on each side of the main four lane road.  Knowing this, when we left Villa Serena Trailer Park, we had to turn right and go down the lateral.  To get to the other side of the highway and be going the opposite way, we had to go over an overpass which they call a Retourno, turn left over the highway and down a narrow ramp on the other side.  We proceeded along the lateral until we hit a traffic light where we veered left onto the main four lane highway. From there we proceeded down the highway.  Most of the way we were on a four lane until we got close to Todos Santos.  The highway goes through narrow streets and we had to take the truck route.

We drove through Todos Santos and made our way a couple of miles out of town and dropped our tow.  The streets are so narrow, there isn’t always a place to park with a motorhome pulling a tow.  We drove back to Todos Santos to check out shops.  Todos Santos is where you can buy all kinds of pottery, blankets, glassware, and eat some incredible tacos.

We also checked out the Hotel California.  (A song made famous  by the Eagles). 

We drove back to the motorhome, hooked up and headed for La Paz.  The road was narrow again but to our surprise this was temporary because of construction on the road.  The road turned into a four lane again.  As we drove through La Paz, we noticed a couple of plant pot stores along the road.  We drove past the Home Depot, Sam’s Club and the Walmart and finally saw the Yonkes( junk yards), then turned into Campestre Maranatha RV Park.  Most of the parks have sewer, water and usually good electricity.  This had everything along with intermittent power. Our voltage regulator was clicking on and off all night. Only in Mexico!  The Baja is certainly impressive up till now!
