These are the Adventures that make The Baja Experience! I always remember the breakdowns over the regular visits?! Now I know all the local info regarding economical hotel/pensiones in LB. You can hang out in the abandoned 2nd Arroyo palaps left over from wind/air winter events. Vacant beach palapas, Yurts, Bartender diggs. Hemmingway still lives!:O Hope the repairs/parts are made withn a week! If not, send for reinforcements!! Sale Tio

Hotel Los Pescadores 624-121-8786 Patti is the owner of this new hotel - all new furnishings and a great bar. Inexpensive.

Cactus


Not sure where your truck is being repaired, but, on the highway next to one of the repair places, Banana's, is the Cactus Restaurant and Jose the owner has a motel just behind. Great inexpensive food and walking distance to where your repairs are being done. I think he rents the rooms for 300 pesos a night, I am sure you can get a rate for a week.

Success!


The truck is repaired (much to my surprise and pleasure - I thought this was going to take much longer) and we're on the road again. Next stop, El Chorro for a soak in the hot springs, then on to Playa Higuera near Nine Palms for some surfing.
