Alright so trek back to this most recent sunday...

10:00 AM - Wake up, wish Robin, Jeff, Reef, Crispy, and Jordan a kind farewell. Dink around for a little bit and go watch US lose to Canada in Hockey. I almost snap bought a Parise jersey, meh I still may cause I thought that was a mega epic goal(way better than Crosby's gfy buddy!).

4:30 - Go home and make up for lack of sleep
8:30 - Wake up, pack. Get Kyle moved. Get ready to leave
1:00 - Leave La Paz for a straight trek through the Baja Peninsula with my friend Chris to accompany me.

K, enough of the time stamps. Not far from La Paz I get pulled over for doing like 110 km/hr in a 70 I think(lol mexico speed limits). He wants to take us back to the office and charge us about 200 usd, I ask him "how much" and he clearly understood what that meant. We haggle for probably 10 minutes and I do my best to wait him out, but the lowest I can get him to go on the spot is 1000 pesos($80, fml). I proceed to feel like a big bitch and pay him, whatev I'll just watch my speed in towns from here on out.

The rest of the drive actually went fairly smoothly actually. We ran into a guy that hid flipped his truck around 6am. It looked like he dodged a pile of rocks in the road and overcorrected, he had a nice Toyota that was def totalled. We helped him get all his stuff out, and realized he had quite the strong liquor smell on his breath but he was physically alright. Hooked the man up with a Gatorade and waited for his friend to come and we moved on.

The rest of the trip really just consisted of alot of driving. We hit 7 different military checkpoints, because our our espanol is muy poquito we had to get out at every stop. I gotta say though the Mexican military guys were really pretty cool in general, we able to joke around in some ways with a few and most of them just looked like young guys doing their job.

I slept on the way down through the North Coast of the Baja Peninsula, but I gotta say it's a really fuckin beautiful area and kinda caught me off guard. It was much more green than Baja Sur, and some realllly cool beaches around Ensanada. I felt like I was in a South American country more than a Mexican one. I think I would def consider a vacation in Ensanada, seems like a pretty sweet area.

Right after Ensanada was Tijuana, we actually only got lost once there and we were able to get right back on track. I was pretty happy we got through Tijuana quickly(It's easy on the way up Jeff!).

We got across the border around 7:30 PM, so 18.5 hours on the drive. I think I slept maybe one hour the whole way. Rented a room at La Quinta and slept harder than I have in quite a long time. Sorry for the lack of pics but I kinda gave up on my camera but I should have some vids from my flip soon.
