Isla Loreto cooked our fish perfectly! Ate a good breakfast there too last week. Augie's free taco nite was nothing to remember but they have good
AC and happy hour from 4 till 7 and the beer is reasonably cold.

Loreto is not exactly famous for great Mexican cuisine...I have to agree mostly with Paula's restaurant reviews. I was totally blown away with how
good a meal was at Canipole (Paula introduced me to this restaurant)...authentic Mexican...vegetales en escabeche, great sopes, etc. Giggling Dolphin
(I hate the name...but have eaten at Uvaldo's restaurants for many years...he used to have Amore at the Villas de Loreto) has generally good, not
great, food, but Uvaldo will make things for you that aren't on the menu...once I had a fabulous crab stuffed chile. Have always enjoyed La Cascada,
and I like Las Islas a lot, but don't much like the alfalfa sprouts they put on top of things...too much like horticultural infanticide...but, you can
tell them to leave them off. Everyone (well, almost everyone) gushes about Mita Gourmet, but I have never found that a meal I have had there was
worth the price, and they never seem to have the lower cost bottles of wine on the wine list, but always have the more expensive ones. Happy
anniversary, and let us know where you ate!!!

Thank you Elizabeth... will do... Expect a super trip report within days (hours) after we return in 8 days or so!
My Elizabeth (Baja Angel) had such a great time 2 years ago when we arrived at Mulege and found El Patron restaurant, then our camp at El Requeson was
perfect (even with daytime crowds nearby): Photos of our summer week in Baja trip at http://vivabaja.com/707 .

We will meet up with Phil C once we arrive on Wednesday from Bob & Susan's and check out what is available... We only need a motel room for the
night, not a resort... We will be sight-seeing all day along the coast (to Ligui/ Ensenada Blanca) and at the mission, etc. Comfy bed, AC, good
shower... that is all we seek for the motel.
I plan on taking lots of photos to share when we get back... Thursday we will drive to San Javier and unless it is rediculously too hot, we will go to
Comondu and La Purisima... then back to Bahia Concepcion or beyond for Thursday night... Friday and Saturday working our way back north.

David,
The road from San Javier to Comondu and through to Purisima is one of my long time favorites but I was told two months ago by Guillermo at La Palapa
in San Javier that the road is very bad and nearly impassable. I will look forward to your firsthand report.

Thanks Kurt... a very 'bad' road means on the other side will be really good people... or none at all!
Bad roads are what my truck enjoys...
However, I am leaving that trip from San Javier on to Comondu and La Purisima as an 'option' only because Elizabeth has never been south of Bahia
Concepcion. Her first time for Loreto to Ensenada Blanca may need more time than part of a day for us to enjoy... If we don't go this summer than a
return winter trip is in order!
This is what is so great about Baja... just so many options, so much to see... WHO SAYS: "So much Baja... So little time!"?
