Onto La Paz and southward

NOTICE: We've got a fast connection for the morning and have added some photos/ videos to past posts, check 'em!

We drove into La Paz and found it to be as predicted; huge, lots of traffic, tons of people. Time to leave, but not before we hit Walmart to stock up... Wierd seeing that there...
We headed south (or so we thought) looking for a coast road with a bunch of fishing but never found it and gave up to go south to Rancho Leonaro, which I thought was a little hotel / fish camp on the water. We showed up in the dark to a 5 star hotel; stunning. We slept in their dirt lot out front for a night before heading down the road which turned to dirt. First stop was Cabo Pulmo, and Mexican national park and the only living coral reef on the north american continent. People are dive crazy here. Camper ran about with 2 huge Rotts and a great little flat coated dog and Alex and I rid the restaurant of their bee infestation. We had lunch and a ton of beer but moved on as there is no killing (except for bees) allowed here, only looking. We soon hit Los Frailles,

a protected bay and a retirement settlement for Canadians. We heard one was loony and might come bother but luckily for him, he never did. This place has some great fishing and Alex kept catching these tuna style fish that apparently taste BAD, so he let them go...

We stayed two nights before getting bored and skipping on..
