San Ignacio, Baja
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:28 pmSpent the night at a campground in San Ignacio. We met a nice Canadian couple, Stan and Sharon. Had to taste test the local Margies. Yep, still good!
We walked into town and visited the San Igancio Mission built in 1760. The walls were 4 feet thick. It was nice and cool in there.
There was a beautiful Square with ancient Laurel trees.
We did inquire about a trip to see the cave paintings. But it cost 1700 pesos and there was a long drive in a van to get to them. So you will have to settle for a copy in the museum.
We are now in Mulege. I put in this map to let you see how far down we are. This is from a tour guide, so the line on the map is not exactly what we followed, but there is only Hwy 1 in Baja so it's pretty close. Now that we are in Mulege (pronounced Mew ley HAY) I frankly see no need to move on. It is everything we were hoping for in Mexico. We have paid for a week so we will see how long we can stand being Beach Bums. More on that later.
