We spent the last of our time at Baja on the beach, sea kayaking and hiking around a really cool area with tons of boulders and huge cactus, Catavina. We had an amazing time in Baja, we really didn't know much about Baja or what to expect before we left. Traveling here has allowed us to really get a sense of a new place as well as meet lots of awesome people. We have had such a great time getting to know people, and everyone has been really nice to us. People we had just met let us use their kayaks, brought us thanksgiving dinner, invited us to campfires, and David even got a job offer! We'll definitely be back to Baja sometime, its a great combination of beach and hiking with so many great people.

On one of our last days of the trip, just as we headed back to the beach after a morning of kayaking and were ready to pack up the tent and head north,we had a quite a surprise. We ended up running into Tim, our neighbor and friend from last summer in Yosemite, who had just pulled in to set up camp. Of course, we changed out plans to spend an awesome beach campfire with him, and also made friends with two guys riding across North America on motercycles.

We bid a fond farewell to the beach and headed up North for some hiking in Catavina.

| So many cool rock formations! |

On the way north, we again passed by huge fields and greenhouses miles and miles long. If you're enjoying a delicious strawberry or tomato right now, this may be where it came from. The scale of the operations are astounding and more than a little eery.
