Tomorrow we leave for Baja Sur, Mexico. We will be down there for four weeks. I plan to study Spanish for one week and Kay will be studying for four weeks. We will be studying Spanish in La Paz, Mexico which is located on the Sea of Cortez. Ken Williams, my ex roomy, lives about 60 miles south in a town called Los Barrilles and we will be spending time with him also. On our first day we intend to drive to, at least, Pecos, Texas
and spend the night in the parking lot of the FlyingJ fuel stop. Thursday we intend to drive to mile marker 194 on I-10, just west of Tucson, Az. where we plan to spend the night at a Wal-Mart Super Store parking lot. Friday we will make it on to Potrero County Park, about eight miles from Tecate, Ca. http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/parks/Camping/potrero.html.
Were planning for a early morning crossing into Mexico at the Tecate crossing and plan to travel about 225 miles to El Rosario. The next day we plan to travel 224 mi to Guerrero Negro and spend one or two days. In Guerrero Negro we plan to take a tour to see the whales. http://www.malarrimo.com/. We plan to stay in their RV lot and take our tour from their also.
From Guerrero Negro we will travel about 348 miles to Constitucion, Mexico and from Constitucion we will make our final 134 miles to La Paz.
A single lady friend of ours will be following us down their and back. A couple from Northern California will be following us down their but not sure about the rest.
Margereta, our single friend, is German and is retired from the US Army. She trained dogs to sniff for bombs. She has one of them and his name is Argo and he takes all his commands in German. She walks with a cane and has some problems getting around but doesn’t let anything get in her way. Her and Argo are all over the US, Canada and now Mexico. Oh! Argo travels with his European passport.
After returning home on 19 February we plan to leave for San Antonio on 22 February. Keith gave us four very good tickets plus parking to a Spurs game so we are taking Richard and Billie with us.
