Loreto History

Is this a Spanish looking building or what?  It's actually City Hall, located right on the square where most people meet on the weekends!!

 There is one street that leads to the town square and the trees are trimmed to look like this!!

Here's a closer up look of them - I LOVE walking under them!!!

This is the Mission of our Lady of Loreto church - I believe the oldest church on the Baja!!  The top portion is really neat looking - and I'm wondering if they ever ring the bells!!

Now here's a picture of the entire church - and no, I did NOT take the picture crooked - that's how much it is leaning!!!

And here's the town square - most every Mexican town has a square with a huge plaza around it - Friday night they were having some type of a reception there!  Loreto is located on the Sea of Cortez and was the first settlement on the Baja.  It's 360 miles north of Cabo and at one time, was the capital!

Glenn and I went out for breakfast at Cafe Ole this morning!  Ham and cheese omelet for me -delicious!  Then we walked on down a ways to see if the liquor store was open for a special type of tequila that Glenn likes but it wasn't open yet! But we did check out the larger store for baggies and they had them - then it was off to the pharmacy for some cream that Glenn needed!

We had to be back by 10:00 as the guy was delivering the smoked marlin so we rushed back and made it back just in time!!  As our freezer was full, we put it in the owner's freezer!  We got the rest of the fish packaged up and all frozen!

My afternoon was spent at the pool, mostly reading and sometimes getting in the nice refreshing water!!  Glenn even donned his suit and got in too, I'm sure wishing he would have got in earlier!!

We decided to have Happy Hour out by the pool with the owners, Steve and Josie.  Glenn walked to the store to get me some avocados and I made a large batch of guacamole - we also had a large chunk of the smoked marlin that we ate with cream cheese and crackers - it was delicious!!!

After eating and drinking, we had no desire for dinner that evening as we were so full!  So we walked over to the video/library case and picked out a movie to watch!!  It was one fun evening!!! To Be Cont'd......
