October 2005 - Finally entering Mexico (Baja California).  The flag at Ensenada.

My first meal in Mexico - at a little taco stand in El Rosario.

My first look a the Gulf of California.

 

Some of the fantastic roads in Baja California.

It pays to be alert!  Horses, Cows, Dogs, Children are all 'free range' animals in Baja California.

My first evening in La Paz.

Eating dinner at Rancho Viejo with a new friend Kevin.  Rancho Viejo has the best tacos (and beer) you will ever have anywhere in La Paz. 

Kevin was a fantastic help.  Not only did he give us the grand tour of La Paz and the surrounding area, he let me stay at his home and let us all know that we are welcome anytime - I can't thank him enough.

Cafe Exquisito Malecon in La Paz.  Great view, great coffee and free wireless internet.

Allan Karl - One of 2 riders I ran into in La Paz that are going to Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego (the other is Lana Lowe - pictured with the Mexican Police below & pictures #3 & #4 top right).

Like myself, Allan is continuing his tour around the world after Ushuaia.  You can follow Allan's travels at http://www.worldrider.com/.  

 

The local kids in La Paz get a kick out of the tourists and take a moment to 'ham it up' for the camera.

The waterfront of La Paz.

La Paz - a great place to catch a sunset.

The little taco/surf hang out in the small town of Todo Santos where we had lunch.

Lana Lowe - pictured here with the Mexican Police is also riding to Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego - You can follow Lana's adventures at http://www.lowerider.ca.

One great thing about Lana - when she is around the Mexico Police Officials don't even bother with me, they give her their undivided attention.

If you want a great steak when you visit La Paz, Buffalo Bar-B-Q is the place to go.
