Well…2 days in a row with internet….are we lucky or what?
Left CD Constitution after a gross cup of coffee and an even worse nights sleep….hotel was fine, bed comfortable, water warm, just on the main drag, and it seemed that every 8 wheeler that came through town made a detour through our room….got to bad at around 11, and to sleep after 4…up again at 530…..definitely had better.
Anyway the day got off to a fast start..132 miles in 1hour 40 minutes.2 stops to strech legs, and then back on the bikes. no curves,,,,mjust dead straight roads….54 miles 1 curve, then around another 40 miles before hitting s few, and then on into La Paz.
The mexicans are big on little ‘altars’ for people who have died on the roads. Here is a picture of the biggest I have seen so far.

Found the ferry terminal, where we needed to get temporary import permits for the bikes. Cant buy a ticket before getting the import permits and cant get the permits without a stamp in our passports. So have to hang around in La Paz until the immigartion offices open tomorrow morning, then back to the ferry to get the import permit and ONLY then can we buy the ferry tickets. Not going to Mazatlan as that is a truck only ferry. Will hit the ‘mainland about 200 miles north and then go down south again. The ferry ride is only 6 hours and not 18 as we were expecting.
Had lunch between La Paz and the terminal,,,,,really beautiful place. Had a few coronas and then a red snapper…..me done wih food for today.
I am suffering a bit with a sunburnt head. Need to get some sun screen. Other than that we are all doing great. Mark is bummedout by the delay, and Matt is enjoying the enforced break. Wont go running with Mark either.
We booked into a hotel called Hacienda Bum something or other. A little expensive, but check the murals on the walls…..
After checking in I sat at the pool and had a few cold beers. Mark went for a run, and I ended up going for a nap….now its three blocks to the beach and we are going to se if we can find some tacs or burritos or something to fill the gap.
Sun is just going down, and its starting to get cool.
Hope its not too wet in Seattle….
More tomorrow
WOW! That shrine is something serious! And the beach is gorgeous! When you get back you should make a scrapbook of your trip or something. I’m glad you guys are having fun and being safe. Make sure Matt stays on the bike.
