Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Todos Santos Visit

After the beach, we headed in to town for a cold one, exploring and lunch!

First stop, the famous "Hotel California" and no, The Eagles did not write their song about this place...However it was certainly cool enough to write one about!
The courtyard...
The decorations...
The mirrors on the ceiling...
The colors...
The gift shop with beautiful artwork...
The pink champagne on ice...
The bar...
The mariachis...
The furniture...
The ambiance...
The lighting...
The bathtub Jim wanted to bring home and put in the cockpit and fill with ice water...The ice cold micheladas...Even the front sidewalk was beautiful!Then a walk around town to see the sights, the architecture, the places to stay and find lunch!Lots of art galleries and "not the average Mexican" art.

















Then more sweating walking around town with a stop for water and to see the Mission.

















Time for the air conditioned car!
And more water...

Then a drive around the North side of town where we ran into the people we met on the beach, found some juice oranges, saw some incredible gringo palaces, heard some loud thunder and watched the thunderheads grow over the mountains...Time to head back so we don't get caught in a downpour!
