Much of the Baja is rugged
mountainous desert with one road, we continued heading south and
called at Santa Rosalia to see Iglesia
de Santa Barbara, a Gothic inspired structure of galvanized steel
designed by Gustave Eiffel of Eiffel tower fame. Originally created
for the 1889 Paris World Expo, it was left in a warehouse in Brussels
then discovered and sent to Baja by officials of the mining company.
Section by section it was transported and reassembled. We had moved
across the Baja from the Pacific side to the Sea of Cortez on the
eastern side, where we camped on the beach – beautiful! Water
temperature was wonderful – Jamie said! We just paddled!

Called
in at Loreto and found a sort of proper Supermarket, life here seems
far removed from home, but great to experience. There was a cruise
ship in and the place was full of Americans. The road then took us
back to the Pacific side, more agricultural and populated from the
central Baja and maybe chance to whale watch again – watch this
space!
