San Ignacio

 It was a short trip to San Ignacio - some of the cactus were blooming along the way and I love the purple ground cover as we drive!

This was a cool cactus to see!

There's always military police outside of San Ignacio - we usually have to exit the car and they search it pretty good!  This year was different - they only wanted to look in the back so it was a piece of cake!

We arrived at the yurts and Glenn actually drove by the entrance gate as it looked totally different!  So we turned around and went in - the building that housed the kitchen, inside eating area and office was totally gone and there was a large new construction project going up!

Bonnie and Paul are the owners and told us the story of how a propane tank was draining one old tank into a new tank and it caught fire - luckily the propane truck didn't explode but the fire took the building down - wow!    The brand new one they're building will be very nice though and it will be fun to see how much progress is made when we go back in April!

Then they told us about the river flooding over its' banks and how much water they had on their property - gosh, I sure wouldn't want to deal with all of that!

We unpacked in the "Howard Johnson' yurt which is the one we usually stay in and relaxed!  I walked around some and took some pics before it got dark!  The river is always pretty!

Since it was breezy and cool there too, we donned our pants and coats - dinner was served inside a large tent - we ate a great chicken and rice dish with broccoli and bread, along with a fruity type pudding.  It was all very good!  We all sat at one long table so it was fun to visit with the different people!

We both slept great and had a good breakfast before we headed out the next morning - onward bound to Loreto!
