So here's where all the tourists were hiding

Jonathan:
I'm not sure we realised how isolated we had been from other Americans until we showed up in Loreto-- the multitude of extremely white legs, black socks, and "totally wasted in Mexico" T-shirts came as a bit of a shock. I guess that's what comes with the nice beaches and access to fun activities. Either way, we've been having a pretty good time in the southern Baja.

We took a snorkeling trip to Coronado Island yesterday, just off the coast of Loreto. We got to swim with a few sea lions, and we even saw a massive humpback whale from the boat while we were out there. They are such majestic creatures, but a little intimidating when you're in such a small boat! Last night we caught a bus to La Paz, and we've spent most of our day today just exploring this town... we've already stumbled upon some of Megan's design work advertising Paraiso del Mar (a project she was working on before we left).

Tomorrow night we'll catch a ferry to Mazatlan (back on the mainland) for some much needed down time with friends... and it smells like it's about time for us to do some laundry as well.
