This Doesn't Look Like L A

During our drive today two RV’s had problems due to the narrow road and one large semi hogging the road.  He clipped the mirror on Debi and Phil’s rig and caused Gary and Rita to go off the side of the road.  Due to some skillful driving and a desire to not hit the oncoming motorcycles, Gary was able to recover without incident.  John and I watched in horror as he slipped off the edge of the pavement.  It could have been so much worse.

Since we are still on the Baja, it is not LA, California - it is Bahia de Los Angeles, Baja California.  A very small community of about 500 residents, this town is on the Sea of Cortez and was established in 1746.  The bay is protected by Isla del Angel de la Guarda or Guardian Angel Island so it is very calm and peaceful.

This area was pounded by a hurricane last fall so there is still evidence of recovery or lack of recovery.  An example is our campground, Villa Vitta RV Park, which used to have nice concrete patios for each motorhome and nice flat spots to park with electricity and water.  Now the patios are falling apart, most of the sites have crumbled into the sand, there is no water and the electricity is an extension cord running to each site laying on top of the dirt.  After all, this is Mexico!
