La Paz, B.C.S.

Bahia de Conception. 22 May 2005.

Four days and we have hitchhiked 1000 miles, nearly the entire length of the Baja peninsula.

What a difference a day makes: From camping beside the highway in a dusty farm town to sleeping right on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

We've had a dozen or so rides to get here, the most amusing being a cucumber truck and a candy truck. And for the most recent 200 km, the back of a pickup.

Now we're relaxing briefly in La Paz, capital of Baja California Sur, before (hopefully!) catching the boat to the Mexican mainland.
