In sickness and in health

We spent another day in Santa Rosalia before heading back on the road on Sunday. Reason: Jeff was in a very very bad place due to food poisoning. I won´t say anything more about that. Anyways, he´s feeling much better now and we just rolled into a pretty decent sized town called Loreto. The last couple of days have been really really beautiful...Here is the run down

Leaving Santa Rosalia and heading south, we came to Mulege. Following Mulege, we were right along the coast of a beautiful bay called Bahia Concepcion (bay of conception). No word as to who specifically was conceived there. Many people I´m sure, because it was a very beautiful place. After coming out of Mulege we had two priorities, the first being to find a beautiful place to camp for the night. Second would be to find a place where we could maybe catch the super bowl. We took this long dirt road off the highway to this beach to this pretty small smattering of campers and shacks on the beach. It was 20 bucks a night for a shack of our own right on the beach..great! We assumed that the downfall of choosing such a beautiful and remote spot was that the super bowl was out of the question. After chatting it up with our hungarian neighbor, Gaborg, he casually asked if we followed football, because there was a super bowl party just up the beach. What??

So he walked us over there and there is like about 20 retirees in this decked out shack with a big screen tv and surround sound, full kitchen, grill, couches, everything! These people just move down here for like half the year from Canada and homeschool their kids and kitesurf and wakeboard and have a family band and cool stuff like that. What a life! It was a very cool super bowl experience.

Perhaps the funniest moment was when we were headed out the next day and swung by to say goodbye. Their little 6 year old said ¨do you guys live together?¨ We honestly didn´t really know what to say, so we answered ¨for now, yes¨ because we pretty much do. I think her dad may have had to answer some questions later. Hence the title of this blog post lol

We headed out the next afternoon, seeing how far we would get south along the bay. We got only about 20 miles before we found this gorgeous beach that at low tide, there was this sand bar where you could walk out to an island. So we camped there..it was by far the most beautiful campsite that I´ve ever stayed at. Got an early start this morning and hope to ride a ways past Loreto today. We have some mountains to cross tomorrow.. We think about 3 long days of riding until La Paz and then two days down to Los Cabos! The end is near. It has really gone by so so fast, but it seems like such a long time ago that we got started. We will be trying to make the most out of the time that we have left!
