Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Actually, in this case, it wasn’t.  After spending a week with our new travel companions, this morning we all had aspirations to head to different places, so we did. We drove together from Bahia Asuncion where we camped last night, through Santa Rosalia back on the Sea of Cortez to Mulege, well more than halfway down the Baja peninsula.  From there, Doug, Jill, Greg and Debbie continued south, headed for different destinations, and we turned west 3 miles on a dirt road up into the wide valley behind (inland from) Mulege.

For a couple of winters we’ve intended to spend a night or more at Hacienda de la Habana, but never made it for one reason or another. It’s a highly recommended destination in Mike and Terri Church’s book “Camping Mexico’s Baja” which is sort of the bible of RV campers in this part of the world. The place is unlike any we’ve stayed in the Baja. It’s a large spread containing several homes, a two-story renowned restaurant run by Ray and Favi (the owners), and includes a large, green grassy field containing full hook-ups for RV campers.  There are bathrooms and a swimming pool as well.  Our camp spot is lined with a small orange grove on one side and large hills on the other.  It’s quiet and pretty. We’re glad we came and may stay more than one night if we like it as much as we think we will.

I saw a picture of Bob in a kayak earlier on and now think I see it on top of your 5th wheel. That's a new addition this year, right?
