Baja 709-6: DAY 6 PM San Javier, McLulu's, Buenaventura, La Perla
This is continued from 709-5 (DAY 6 AM): http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=40423
More at Mision San Javier:
A last look back for this trip.
Now back down the mountain...
Rancho Las Parras sleeping palapa.
Rancho Las Parras chapel.
Dangerous road or bad driving?
Nice highway!
We returned to Loreto and went straight to McLuLu’s for some more awesome tacos (fish and carne asada). We had tacos there the day before when we
first arrived in Loreto… what a great place!
We then headed north to Bahia Concepcion for our camp on the beach.
The old road (before 1972 in this area), I traveled as a kid in 1966.
For an early dinner, we went to Buenaventura and ordered cheeseburgers for a change from the tacos and fish dinners we have been having so much of.
Mark (Oligucomole) came over after we ordered, and visited with us.
The water was so great, this puppy just walked out and sat in it!
Requeson was full (no available palapas) so we drove south a short distance to La Perla… and it was a pearl of a beach! We were the only campers there
(70 pesos). In the morning we discovered perhaps why!
Back at La Perla we set up camp and swam and swam… The water was a clear as an aquarium and the fish entertained us. That night we had a small fire
and when it was really dark went to the water to see the plankton glow as we splashed the water. Baja is magic! The night was very warm and humid… a
battery powered fan would have been nice.
