BAJA PENINSULA, MEXICO

This set is from our fun adventure to the beautiful southern tip of the Baja Peninsula of Mexico in June 2006. We spent very little time living the resort life of Cabo San Lucas and instead, we did a lot of exploring up the Pacific and Sea of Cortez coastlines and caught brief glimpses into the mountains of Sierra de La Laguna. Along the way, we met a lot of friendly people in towns like Todos Santos and Santiago, and our humble attempts at speaking Spanish were well appreciated. The great scenery kept my camera happy! Enjoy!
