Easy crossing down to Ensenada; green light and no cops! Gas was 10.7 (10.3 south) per L so was a big savings. As usual, lots of traffic but easy
going thru Ensenada and Maneadero. Nice rooms in El Rosario at El Turista $300p. Baja Cactus full up/reserved for Moto group so make reservations
or check Turista! New rooms, firm bed, & TV. Nice weather and light traffic down the mid Peninsula and tacos
at El Poblano in GN! No construction and good road conditions in gneral. Pre Runners beginning to show for Mil. It first starts to get green out
past San Ignacio and the mountains are drapped in green with yellow flowers. I was still waiting for the butterfly swarms and out past Santa Rosalia
they appeared from the total lushness of the area. From this point south you get the idea of the amounts of rain that has fallen. A Sea of Green.
Roads are clear altho some rocks remain along the sides. Mulege - A/C room at Cuesta Real ($400p) was nice and it was cool enough
for sweatshirts in the a.m. No other travelers? Watched the Baseball playoffs at Scotty's El Candil with Fish and Chips and frosty Pacifico!!
Again, easy drive on mostly new sections of hwy and bridges into La Paz. Five hours and no cop showdowns in C Constitution. Big pot holes
entering La Paz, cuidado. Lots of water puddles, dirt, and other evidence of rains. Careful
entering Todos Santos as they are building a big bridge as part of the new by-pass around TS. The road off the hwy west to my house and the beach
is very sandy with 6ft high weeds filling the landscape. The road into my place is now a narrow single file passage. God I love my gardner when I
arrive home; the gate swung open and Lalo had cleared the growth completely around my casa. And his wife Blanca had cleaned the house! Life is good,
verdad. He looks great in his new Hawaiian shirt and she with new blouse. Now if I can just get them to come out and turn on the electricity, ha,
ha! Bienvenidos, Amigos. Drive safely.

Hola Tio, Tell Selena and Beni I'm stopping in for fish and shrimp tacos first thing when I come back from Nicaragua at the end of the month. I'm
starting to get tired of white rice and tostones, but the langosta's okay.
