After seven days at sea we find ourselves in the Azores on the island of Terceira. The 7 days was nice but it feels good to set foot on solid ground.The island is rolling green hills, cows, and white houses with terracotta roofs. The streets are black and white cobblestone. Pretty.

I need to leave the Baja for a moment to catch up with where I’m sitting at the moment; Pompano Beach, Florida) but before I do, I’m posting a few pictures and places we recently visited on our drive from Fort Collins, Colorado to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.

Fincael del Mirador, Guadalupe, (Rt. 3 a short drive from Tecate)

Note our white Jeep. Finally in retirement.

Next stop: San Quintin, drive toward the ocean and stay at Mission Santa Maria Hotel.

Catavina, another planet, check out the cave paintings and feel bad your rock garden is never going to look as good as this.

San Ignacio Springs Bed and Breakfast. As advertised “Your Paradise in the Baja” but must like: kinda camping, jungle, starry nights, swimming, kayaking, and good food.

Next stop Loreto then Ciudad Constiticion.
