Bravo Udo and wife! Thanks for the nicely written trip report and photos. They bring back memories of my trip 6 months ago.
Sorry about your broken new kayak. And that's one lucky designer sunglass-wearing sea lion :-)

Thank you for the detatiled and timely report. I'll be headed down to La Paz next week. I'm driving my full size GMC Sierra and towing a 23' Striper
boat. Malarrimos was to be my planned stop. Is there sufficient room at the Cowboy hotel for my rig?

Nice report! Thanks for taking the time.......
Maybe next time I'll try the lobster at Mama's.
I've grown accustomed to buying 5 gallons of gas in Catavina while heading northbound. It makes the last stretch into El Rosario a little less
stressful, especially if you've been cruising around the Rosalillita area.
Thanks for taking all of us on your trip.

Alan, you can pull straight in on the left side of the lot. Hang a tight U, then back into a stall. They chain the lot after 10p.m.
Malarrimo has the most pull-in-and-out room and their parking lot is hidden by high walls. Just be prepared for bad service.
In La Paz, I have seen your type of rig driven down the middle of the malecon, plus there is a launch ramp at the beginning of the malecon, by the
marina.

We always take the Polynesian room, Ateo. Prices are on par with nice hotels.
The food is also really good!
Best view and view patio: Polinesian
Best water pressure and hot water (i.e. long showers): Medieval room.
Worst mattress: Moroccan room
The place is 20 minutes from Ensenada and 10 minutes from Puerto Nuevo.

That may have even been my rig you saw heading down the malecon in years past but I have found my
best fishing out of Muertos so now I head straight up Colosio and over the mountain. Its always a pain launching and retrieveing without a dock but
the fishing makes it well worth the effort and it is better than a 50 mile run to get to that area if I launched in LP.
I'm not sure about that comment of a tight U turn  I obviously need to scout
that out on foot before I commit. I am sorry about the service you received at Malarrimos. I have stayed there on numerous ocassions in the past and
have always been treated extremely well. I'll probably give it another try and just hope you happened to stop on a off night and it will only be for
one night anyway

Hey Udo;
I recognized that etched bottle of reposado. Did you get that at that lime green tienda in San Quintin? Not too shabby!

Nice update but was curious what rankled you about the retirees in Mulege? Did
you get a chance to talk with any as Mulege is one of my favorite places to visit! Hard to find any towns w/o retired expats. Los Barriles is
crawling with old Gringos and where I live in Todos Santos it has lots of gray hairs/ pensioneers! Even Asuncion has a growing expat community.
Might even find a poker game or meet a Baja Nomad? Tio

I also saw it there, as you did. However, I picked it up at Licores Don Pisto, In Puerto Nuevo.
In my travels, I like to be surprised by what is available in the different areas, and will always buy the local tequila. But by the same token, I
like to have some of my regular booze just in case the local stuff is not that good.
