A spectacular sun rise and no scheduled plans today! John and I enjoyed a long walk to the Puerto Escondido harbor before driving into the town of Loreto (pronounced Low-ray-tow). Loreto has a population of about 10,000 people so it is a fairly large city. We enjoyed the Malecon and the pedestrian shopping area that surrounded the church. This mission church built in 1679 was the first of over 30 eventually constructed through Baja California and what is now the state of California. It was pleasant shopping as the street was covered with arches of trees. We had a nice lunch before driving back to Tripui RV Park but first we drove through a newly developed residential area called Loreto Bay, built around a golf course and on the coast of the Sea of Cortez.
We got to take a nap, check our email and Facebook posts, collect the laundry the hotel did for us and then have drinks with the group. This was as close as we came to celebrating Fat Tuesday.
