N 27*17.907 W 112*54.907
We left Catavina this morning and drove 240 miles to San Ignacio in Baja California Sur. (There are two states on the Baja California Peninsula; the boundary between the two is the 28th parallel, where we also crossed a time zone and are now on Mountain Time). This distance took about 5 hours. We found a couple of inland stretches where frankly there wasn’t much interesting scenery and we felt powering through them was the best way to get to the places we prefer to be. We’re staying at a campground amusingly named “Rice and Beans”; it has power, water, free unlimited Wi-Fi we can get at our campsite, and much to Cathryn’s delight, free hot water showers in the nicest bathrooms we’ve seen since we left Olalla! Bathrooms continue to be an ongoing “issue” for her. We dropped the Chalet off at the campground around 2PM and went a mile into town to make arrangements for tomorrow’s gray whale-watching boat trip at the San Ignacio Lagoon. We spent a pleasant couple of hours wandering the town square and sitting in a sidewalk café for a cerveza. The high temp today was 82, and we are currently sitting in the camper at 8:30 at night with the door open, while it’s 70 degrees and not windy. San Ignacio is the most beautiful town we’ve seen yet. It is a date palm oasis about 40 miles inland from the Bahia de la San Ignacio lagoon with a river running through it.
