We are in La Paz!

We are in La Paz!

Had a great calm motoring day yesterday, no wind and flat ftat calm! We did boat chores, showers, beading ( I mad a necklace and worked on yet another beaded bag) reading, ect. Saw more dolphins , different kind this time – they were black. And jumping and flipping about 5ft out of the water!! Amazing, Maya took some photos so will put some on the block – if you look closely at the kids hanging in the bolsuns chair at the bow on the previous postings you can see dolphins just below them in the water. ( that’s for you mom, I took lots of pictures last time just couldn’t get any decent ones with the digital camera, took some with the 35mm one,just have to get the film developed)

We arrived in La Paz around 4:30pm – and found our buds on Malachi – Jay, Marg, Jocelyn,Jenny. Ended up knowning a few boats here, so had many a drop in before we had a chance to scoot over to Malachi. Had a great visit with them and they came back to Orca III for and early night – tired we were!
There are a lot of Canadians around here too!! Internet is tough as everyone is secured but I will find one too use soon enough.

La Paz is great. Probably our favorite city in Mexico. Last time we were there, Marina de La Paz had an open wireless network that you could use from bar (or from the dock if you had the range).

Make sure that you head the block and a half up the street from MdLP to "Rancho Viejo" (I think that is what it was called) and order some "arrachera" (again, spelling could be wrong) - its bbq beef and it is ordered by the kilo. Yummmmmmmm.

Are you guys on the hook or are you in a marina?
