You ca see it online also on the KPBS site. BTW I am not a big fan of Elsa Sevillas show but I liked this video.

I liked seeing the Cabrillo Ship. Not to deviate fromm the Baja subject but if yyou are interested, one of Huell Howsers last shows was the building
of a replica of Cabrillo's Ship, you can see that video here: https://blogs.chapman.edu/huell-howser-archives/2015/07/09/c...

That is great Ferna, thanks for the links! It was really good to see Harry still kicking... he hadn't been doing so well lately.
The book he was a photographer for (The Call to California, c1968) was a huge favorite of mine, as a kid, and had me wanting to travel El Camino Real
by ATV (so I envisioned).

More Baja missions in the second episode... but they skipped several, and were confused about San Borja (saying the stone church was built 100 years
after it was founded... unless I heard it wrong?).
The ruins they showed at Guadalupe were (once) identified as the long-abandoned military base that was set up at the mission site. The mission
foundation was pointed out to us by museum personnel, about 100 meters to the north of that ruin, on the edge of the terrace, overlooking the river
valley. Both are inside the museum park area.
Then a large portion of the TV was devoted to Agua Caliente hot springs east of Ensenada... Interesting, but kind of off topic.

As I mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of Elsa Sevilla. Notice on minute 4:44 how she places her bare hands on top of the pictures and presses down
with the entire weight of the top part of her mexican body. The pictures actually are stuck to her hands when she lifts them. She does it again on
minute 5:29. On minute 6:53 they've removed the pictures from that part of the table so she can rest her body and cause no harm.
As for the Agua Caliente part, I agree, nothing to do with the subject matter, the current owner is interviewed and who knows where they are from
because the part of the talk is about the early Californios he purchased from some chinese people. Yes, totally off topic.
Now as I also mentioned before, I'm enjoying this series. I liked #1 more than #2.
The funniest parts, on both 1 and 2 is that she thinks a mission is a church and she states that, not knowing that the mission was the entire
establishment, followed by the presidio and ...
A this point, episode 2, I must say that even though I am not her fan, I prefer Elsa than having to see an episode of crossing south with the clown
jorge meraz.

I sort of like that clown. He comes from the mold of eager local access tv goofballs,... He amuses me.
I agree he is a clown, but like all good clowns, he amuses us, so can't complain about that.

Jorge is maybe copying the Huell Howser style in his shows? Another "relaxed" style presenter is Sam the Cooking Guy. However, Sam is actually funny
to watch instead of being just embarrassing.

Jorge Meraz on Crossing South can be goofy at times. Yet I watch his program for the parts that are informative. His latest include a camel ride in
Rosarito (!) and eating at Laja in Valle de Guadalupe. He also has an interesting interview with the present owner of the Rosarito Beach Hotel and a
tour of the private home there.
I too thought the segment on Rancho Agua Caliente was not relevant. I was there on a very hot day in October last year on the way to Cava de Marcelo.
No guests were there, but the manager did give us a tour. I learned some things about the history of the hot springs on the Elsa Sevilla's show.
