Remembering the BAJA-ROSARIO CULTURAL FESTIVALS
They were a lot of fun for us Nomads (in July) to meet up at and Antonio was such a great host and put on quite a feast for us Nomads, as well! How
many Nomads can you name?
2005: http://vivabaja.com/705
2006: http://vivabaja.com/706
2007: http://vivabaja.com/707
We look forward to future El Rosario Festivals when they can again resume!

Tomorrow, we will be in El Rosario again... No fiesta, other than the one we make!
The truck is all cleaned out of my work stuff and ready to pack for a week in Baja... For three years this vacation began with the Baja-Rosario
Festival ('05, '06, '07), so we regulary plan a week vacation starting with the El Rosario mission founding anniversary. 
Last year, we got married in Vegas and went to Yellowstone Park instead of Baja. This year, it is our first anniversary... and we will have it at Baja
Cactus in El Rosario, then continue on south...

I never got much out of El Rosario,just a place to get gas. I did get some bad looks from some locals, when we were towing our 14' Duraboat to BoAL.

Too bad you haven't gone off Hwy. 1 to see what is over the hill or behind the block! With such great motels as Baja Cactus and the new TURISTA MOTEL
on the other end of town or Baja's Best Bed & Breakfast... El Rosario can be much more than just a fill up!
On my page of fast links to Baja photos and data http://vivabaja.com/tours I have links to the following under EL ROSARIO:
El Rosario Area
Missions, Museum, La Bocana, La Lobera
Cactus Garden and Sauzalito mine ruins
Petrified Forest & La Bocana Beach
El Camino Real near Km. 80
Las Pintas Fossil Grotto
Los Martires to El Socorro, cactus forests, petroglyphs found!
Mision San Fernando and petros '05
Mina de San Fernando (plus mission and petros in '00)
El Marmol & El Volcan
Agua Dulce historic spring (plus Baja Cactus Motel)
Mama Espinoza Museum & Search for Santa Ursula
To Punta Baja and down the coast road

Funny thing happened to me when I was coming back from my trip last week. I stopped for gas in El Rosario and when I paid the lady the pump said 465
pasos so I give her 470. She asked if I had 5 pasos and I said yes and gave it to her and she said gracias and walked off to the office. I stood there
wondering what had happened looked at the pump again then laughed and went on my way.

Well Tom, that's the problem... you had to pay in pasos instead of pesos... the exchange rate between pasos and pesos is the reason for the 10 paso
difference!

No worries Tom... But, Antonio wants us to let him know anytime someone makes that kind of mistake or whatever it was... He wants Baja Cactus Pemex to
be the best Pemex!

After I left I was thinking she probably thought I WAS 5 pesos low which would have been an honest mistake and I should have said something to her,
like point to the pump etc. If she did catch it I had left before he could return from the office.
