Straight outta Baja

Alex and I headed north when James did, hungover. After a grocery stop we hit Cerritos for the third time on this trip.
IMG_0627 There was no surf on 1/1/09; we were up and on the way to La Paz early. This would be the second time in La Paz for us and it sucked again. Everything we try to do in La Paz ends in failure; be it simple or complex. After the most difficult coffee transaction ever, I backed into a tree (painted white even) and ruined a back window; major bummer.

For now, repaired in duct tape....
Finally, we checked into some trailer park for $16 a night; rip off.

Morning came and we set out to get the hell out of La Paz and found ourselves at the Baja Ferries ticket window with a fresh Vehicle Import Sticker (mandatory and $27.00USD) and a ~$300 bill for putting a huge Suburban, two tired Americanos and a pretty little dog on a boat to Topolobampo, mainland Mexico....
