La Paz and Todos Santos

With the bow repair completed and Carol's arrival, it was finally time to do some touristy things.  Because a norther was blowing, we decided to get out of Dodge (La Paz), and take a trip to Todos Santos, which is known as a picturesque artsy tourist destination.    Instead of renting a car, I got us on the local tour bus which was cheap, easy and very nice.  We stayed in the famous Hotel California.  (Yes, we were able to leave.)  It was pleasant and interesting, but don't get a drink across the street...the margaritas were $10, an outrageous price for Mexico.  When we returned to La Paz, the weather had calmed down enough for us to try swimming with the whale sharks.  Quite the adventure!  Just scary enough!  We've done a bit of the typical cruiser things too:  shopping, dining out, pot lucks etc.  We have reservations at a nice restaurant for Christmas Eve, a potluck dinner with friends planned for Christmas, and plan for all of us to walk along the malecon at midnight Chrismas Eve when the baby Jesus is added to all the nativity scenes.

Happy holidays to all!!
