Good-Bye Baja

 The last couple of weeks of life in Baja were nice and slow!  Some of our friends left - and the ones that were there had several get togethers!  I enjoyed a lot of swimming and Glenn did his best at fishing, even though there wasn't a lot to catch since it was transition time in the sea from cooler water to warmer water!  The weather was NICE!  In fact, it was pretty darn warm a couple of the days and the overhead fans were on all the time1

We bought some great shrimp and not only had some done up inside one night but also kebabs on the grill - yummy!

Packing up to go home is always a little sad - but this year I was more than ready to head home!  There's always plenty to do the last couple of days to get ready and we enjoyed one last meal with our good friends before we headed out the next morning!

One last picture of the beautiful sky as we left at 6:00am!

And one last look at that gorgeous ocean!

Unfortunately we hit rush hour in LaPaz so it took a while to get through there but then we were on a roll all the way to San Ignacio!  We stayed at the yurts once again - always so peaceful there!

When I went to book a couple weeks ago, there was only 1 yurt left!  It was one we had never stayed in before since it had 3 queen beds in it but it was sure roomy!  We had a great meal that evening and enjoyed visiting with the owners!  Breakfast is always good and we said our goodbyes and headed out!

Glenn had decided he wanted to stay in Mexicali this year and not cross the border till early in the morning - that was a mistake!  We made great time and found the hotel - it was in the middle of a crazy busy part of town with lots of traffic!  But the hotel was nice and clean but pretty bare bones inside!  Luckily we could walk to a restaurant so we didn't have to get back in the car!

We headed out at 6am since we were only 5 minutes from the border but I guess everybody else had the same idea!!  We sat in line for 1 1/2 hours before we could get through - so we won't be doing that next year!  

It's always a great feeling to be back in the USA!  We were surprised at the high gas prices when we stopped for breakfast and gas in Yuma!  And then it was onto Albuquerque for the night, which was full of smoke from the fires! We drove by the fire the next morning and it still continues to burn!

6 hours later we pulled into home!  And a big smile covered our faces as we were finally home!
