Whale Watching Part 4....San Ignacio

Mid afternoon came around and all 14 of us piled into a 12 person van and took off on our 50 mile road trip to San Ignacio where we would spend the next coupla days.... 

Hasta luego Santa Rosalia.....

It's about a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive because of the mountains that we have to drive through to get from one side of the Baja to the other....the roads were excellent all the way and traffic was almost non-existent but the grades were steep and the blind curves were peligroso, dangerous. 

Good road....beautiful views...not much of a shoulder though..!

Kinda blurry...but will give you an idea of the grade and curves..!

Gorgeous panorama views going through the mountains...!

Pretty cool view....don't ya think???

Down in the desert again.....

San Ignacio is a desert oasis so we knew we were getting close when we started seeing the palm trees....

The palms indicate that we're gettin' close to our destination

Can you believe we are surrounded by a ginormous desert??

This is what a desert oasis looks like if you've ever wondered...!!

Desert?  What Desert??   Blows your mind....doesn't it... wait until you see whats coming in the next installment.... but I'm not done here yet.....cmon' my friends I've got a little more for you today.

 A fire rolled through here a few years ago and burned alot of palms....no one is sure as to what started it....?

While out tromping around we came upon this little shrine or chapel or tomb or something...we never did find out what it is but you've got to admit ....it's pretty cool! 

I guess it's time to end ZW for today but before we adjourn, I wanted to give you a peek at our hotel set amid the palms in this spectacular desert oasis....until next time.....

.......peace to you all my friends....don't forget to hug your loved ones today....seeya
