La Paz, B.C., MX

What a runaround to get on the ferry!

[Sorry, but the next few posts are terribly terse, and somewhat disjointed. I want to get them posted while they're still fresh in my mind, and I have a decent Internet connection]

Friends, do make life easy on yourself - get your vehicle temp import permit from the web site or a local Mexican Consulate -- well before you travel. They're available 6 months before, and can last 6 months.

The Baja Trap. Like Hotel California. Or a mad house. Getting in is the easy part. Too easy. [see previous post -- Tecate, MX]

There are Push-to-talk phones everywhere here. Makes even a coffee shop sound like a construction site.

Oh oh. My stomach is starting to bubble. I probably shouldn't have eaten street food before getting on a 10 hour sea crossing. Ya think?!

Appropriate attire for female Mexican office workers -- if it's not too short or too tight, why bother?

Where Rebecca spent the night
I have fond memories of Catholic school girls striving hard to alter their uniforms to achieve that certain level of ... ummm... 'easy' ... that would give a nun a coronary.

Unlike with the other B.C. Ferries, those in Baja California load motorcycles last.
The good thing is that you get to see the long, carefully orchestrated process involved with loading an ocean-going ship.


Didn't really want to see them loading this on the ship!

I'm looking forward to sailing across the Sea of Cortez tonight...
