We did it! We rode the entire Baja top to bottom! We left LaPaz this morning at 9:30 with light jackets and rode the 40 miles to Todo Santos over a smooth, new 4 lane highway. We wandered around the town, had a margarita at the Hotel California (not a contender for best of Baja), then headed out to Cabo San Lucas. We knew about the road construction outside of Todo Santos and found it to be hard packed and in small stretches here and there. Then it was a smooth road until about 10 miles outside of Cabo when it turned into nothing but a hard packed, washboard dirt road. We did not expect that, but we did make it through without jarring too much off of the bike, however, it will all be a great highway when it is finished. After driving through the neighborhoods of Cabo and removing all the clothing we could (it got hot!), we eventually found the hotel we were looking for - the Mar de Cortez, and checked in about 3:00. It's a nice little hotel with the breakfast claim of World's Best French Toast. We showered and changed (I have a dress on - I feel like such a girl!), then went to the marina for dinner. We had a very light breakfast and no lunch, so we were all really hungry. We all had fish tacos and margaritas at 'D Joint and the margs are in the running for the best! At 5:30 we headed for the Jungle Cruise boat and boarded for our sunset booze cruise. It took us out to Land's End, cruised the area during sunset, then headed back towards Cabo with music blasting, everyone partying and having a great time. We saw small stingrays jumping all around us - there were dozens of them - and they would just fly out of the water. We have never seen that before! We docked at about 8:30, then walked over to Cabo Wabo and Giggling Marlin. No one was in the bars, so we walked back to the hotel and called it a night. We have lots of miles to ride tomorrow so we do need to get some sleep.
