Cabo to La Paz is a relatively short day mileage wise compared to some of the other days we´ve put in. The coolest thing about this ride is cutting through the town of Todos Santos. Todos Santos is probably best known for its miles of epic surf breaks that are known all over. This is apparent by the countless number of gringo surfer bras wondering the streets of Todos Santos and calling the place home.
Another cool thing about Todos Santos is the urban legend that it´s Hotel California is where the Eagles´ Don Henley originally wrote that infamous song. This has been both disputed and supported by critics, but seeing it in person it seems the perfect place for the origination of the classic. Todos Santos is probably my favorite town in the Baja so far, even though I didnt get to spend much time there. Definitely a place to return.
We arrived at the ferry building in La Paz later that morning, got our vehicle import permits, bought our ferry tickets and waited for the ferry to depart at 3pm. While waiting for the ferry we got lunch and cervezas at a little joint down the beach. An absolutely beautiful place...check out the pictures.
The Chihuahua Star was quite a boat and actually seemed like a hand-me-down american cruise ship from the 80´s. Anyways, kinda tired of writing blog posts right now, plus I´m drinking beer out of a large styrofoam cup. They give you the cup at the store when you buy the beer and expect you to put it in the cup and leave the bottles. They return the bottles to the plant for money which are then cleaned and re-filled, no melting down like in the US. Until next time...anyways it looks like theres a cool billiards hall across the street...
clay just ripped me a new one in 8 ball at least 5 games to 3.
