Day 16 - 4 Points RV Park, Ciudad Insurgentes to Campastre Maranatha, La Pez

After spending a wonderful evening at the 4 Points RV Park in Ciudad Insurgentes we said our goodbyes to our new friends and set out for La Paz, 3 hours away. The road was mostly straight except when we crossed mountains. The speed limited is a maximum of 48 MPH or 80 KPH. I kept under 80 on all systems of measurement and stayed out of the perro casa. Driving in Baja has been an adjustment because of the extremely narrow roads, often filled with potholes. When crossing the mountains it is like taking a motorhome pulling a car on a crazy rollercoaster. I am a very safe, consciousness driver and have kept our Family safe over 35,000 miles since we've had the motorhome. That being said, I needed to make some adjustments in Baha and now we all feel a lot more comfortable.

We got to La Paz and easily found our campground. The camp host were very nice. The RV Campground is very large with a lot of amenities. We are comfortable here but a smaller space with less people is more our speed but we are near a large town than we have been in so far so that comes with the territory.

We met a couple from Germany who now live in La Paz permanently. Herman and Giselle love Irish Setters and lost their last of 4 they had had last year. They travel in a two-story German RV that looks like it should have some gun turrets on it. Herman really wants another Irish Setter but Giselle says no as the are 80 now. 

We traveled to the Malecon (sea walk) in La Paz. It was so full of light and laughter. Kids flocked to see the Boys and teenage Boys wanted to take pictures of them. 

I told them "Nuestros perros son setters irlandeses. Tad tiene 3 años y Lincoln tiene 12 años y ambos son muy amigables y aman a los niños." 

"Our dogs are Irish Setters. Tad is 3 years old and Lincoln is 12 years old and both of them are very friendly and love kids."

Janice tracked down one of the few places in Baha that has IPA beer. We had pizza and beer and both were good but not up to the extremely high standards we have at home. Umpqua beer, Old Soul Pizza and Salud tacos et al are better than anything we have consumed, but that is no surprise.

We chatted with a young man named Antonio who lives in La Paz. Coincidencently, he is a Minnesota Vikings fan so we became fast friends. The barkeeps, Luis and Simone were very nice and we talked to them a lot as we were the customers in the small brewpub.

La Paz is a very quaint but laid back town. We strolled the small street after struggling to find a parking spot. We ended up parking in a free lot. It is a magical place.
