Sadly, we could not stay in Zipolite forever. We had to pack up our sandy belongings and climb back into Lorraine for our trek back north through Oaxaca city, and eventually home. They say that the roads in Oaxaca are terrible and the drive from the coast to Oaxaca City through Pochutla is no excep…

Back in the USA.

New post up! See our week in Zipolite - we eat a goat, have a shootout with the Terminator, and get mole all over our car. http://www.overmoon.us/journal/2015/3/8/zipolite-our-home-away-from-home

Ahhh. We take a huge sigh of relief when we pull in to Zipolite. Nothing to do for a week but bask in the beauty of the beach from our respective hammocks, while eating ice cream. No lie. Zipolite is a place we've spent a lot of time in. We first discovered it back in 2005, and lived and worked the…

Leaving Guanajuato and heading to the border. Should be back in the US sometime tomorrow afternoon. Chicago, here we come! (Please tell us it's above freezing!)

Heading up to 10,000 ft. To camp on Volcan Malinche, Mexico's 5th tallest peak.

New post up at the Overmoon blog! We avoid Acapulco and accidentally eat an insanely expensive fish. http://www.overmoon.us/journal/

Leaving Zipolite today - heading back inland to Oaxaca, and ultimately to Chicago. We will miss you, Zipo! Hasta luego.

While we're stopped here in Zipolite, we decided the let the local welder replace Lorraine's busted plastic tailgate guide.

Very cool project truck. It's a rare one. If we were in the market, we'd jump all over this one!

New blog post up! Featuring Mosquitos, Ferry rides and Coco Locos. Check it out: http://www.overmoon.us/journal/2015/2/14/la-paz-to-ciudad-guzman

La Paz is a city where one can get down to business. Which we did. We were stopped there for two days, while we waited for the ferry that would take us from Baja to the mainland. We got our laundry done, cleaned out the dust that had accumulated in the car and caught up on some internet time. We als…

A few more shots from Stone Island and the road to San Blas and Ciudad Guzmán. We made it to Cassie's! More pics to come!

12/02/2015

After a pleasant, though slightly odd smelling ferry ride from La Paz, we've made it to the Mainland. Spent a few nights in Isla de Piedra, Mazatlan, and now are in San Blas, a tranquil little village on the coast. Tomorrow we head to Ciudad Guzman for a few nights with our pal, Cassie.

New post up at http://www.overmoon.us/journal/ if you want to read more about our week in Baja. Off to the mainland tomorrow.

Comment ¡Baja! February 7, 2015 The last week has taken us through some breathtaking vistas: desert and beach, rocky cliffs, salt flats, dusty cities and mud. Lots of mud. Lorraine has been a trooper the whole way, despite her lack of air conditioning and the many creaks and grinding sounds emanatin…

Sunset at Beacons Beach. Not too shabby.

30/01/2015

We have arrived in San Diego. After a much needed shower and a meal, we climbed into Lorraine and passed out, comforted by the fact that we would have a few days in the same place before crossing the border. Even the trains, which roared by 10 feet from our heads all night, didn't bother us. It was a relatively pleasant night's rest until about 6:00am when we were woken by a crazy person pretending to be a cop. He was looking for someone who wasn't us, and went on his way. But there was no more sleep for us after that. At least he waited until 6:00.

Well, we survived our first night sleeping in Lorraine and got into and out of the extremely confusing Grand Canyon National Park. Unhelpful signs included "stop for children crossing the street" and "don't drink water from the toilets". Helpful signs included . . . None. The Canyon was grand, though.
