Day 8 Loreto to Ciudad Constitucion


So there really isn´t a whole lot to report today. Our plan as of yesterday was to make it to La Paz today where we will eventually catch the ferry over to the mainland. HOWEVER...we spent a little too much time patronizing the local Cantina in Loreto last night, causing us to wake up a lot later than planned this morning. Not wanting to push it and risk arriving in La Paz after dark, we decided to shack up in Ciudad Constitution this evening. Ciudad Constitucion is a larger industrial-agricultural city that doesnt see much tourism.

Not the prettiest town on the Baja, however Constitucion has it´s hidden gems including awesome taco stands and cheap hotels. That reminds me that I wanted to mention that the food has been mindblowing and super cheap everwhere weve been so far.

On a side note, I am really impressed with Kyle´s Spanish translation skills. His pronunciation is bad enough to make Cesar Chavez roll over in his grave, BUT he does have a hidden talent understanding natives as they speak to him. His translation skills have really come in handy. So he´s got that going for him...

Also, I added some more pictures in the posts below. Above is a piture of Kyle talking to the infamous Coco of Coco´s Corner. This picture is totally out of sequence, but just a really cool shot. Coco is a Baja legend and has a little compound set up in the middle of nowhere on the dirt road shortly after Gonzaga Bay where you must stop and drink a cerveza and listen to Cocos stories if youre passing through. Almost anyone who has ridden a motorcycle down the Baja know about Coco. Learn more about Coco here, http://www.bajaexpo.com/coco.htm

Enjoy, and Buenos Noches.....

  3. me too. sorry dude but we are in puerto vallarta tonight and will probably be past acapulco in the next couple of days. One other thing that will probably disappoint you is that I have been shaving on a regular basis, after about 2 weeks of not shaving I felt so uncomfortable i had to shave in order to preserve my insanity.
