Baja Bound, Part 11

San Ignacio to Mulegé, Baja California

Early morning breakfast

Mission Nuestra Senor San Ignacio de Kadakaaman

Anders and I were up early, even though the clock was advanced by one hour in Baja California Sur. At 7:15 we were at the Rice and Beans restaurant for breakfast.

I (Liz) had cheese and avocado omelette and Anders had bacon and cheese omelette. Naturally served with beans and lightly fried potatoes, almost like a "rösti" but with a hefty dose of garlic.

Huge breakfast, not bad, good coffee. We watched the sun coming up over the Date Palm trees. San Ignaciao is in a fault of the earth, hence the palm canyon.

In the morning Lynne and Dee came with us into town. We looked at the old Mission Church: Mission Nuestra Senor San Ignacio de Kadakaaman 1728-1840.

The church was restored in 1976 but shows cracks from earth quakes.

Driving toward Conception Bay

Coyote beach

The museum next door was open, exhibiting some rock art/rock paintings of nearby Sierra de San Francisco. All with Spanish explanations, but very interesting.

Santa Rosalia viewed  from Hwy 1 is the ugliest city so far in Mexico! Very commercial and dirty.

We drove out to Coyote beach with the gang. What a beautiful beach and setting....The water is crystal clear and warm. Wow!

After a while we headed back into Mulegé and checked into Clementines B&B. Good!

Had supper at Scotty's Pub in town. Very good.
