La Paz is a big town with lots to do. It also has lots of people, traffic, and noise. We opted to find an out-of-the-way place to spend a relaxing day. The water was so warm that we had to join the dogs in frolicking in the ocean. No pictures though because Salt water and phones don't mix. Plus, we forgot our bathing suits. Apparently no problem for Kasey.
The dogs had a blast in the warm water and Lincoln even ran around which was surprising since he has been limping a little lately.

The sand was so hot, I had to get the shoes we used for snorkeling and put them on Lincoln so he could walk back to the car, which was about a hundred meters. Tad is so fast, he barely touches the sand anyway and was at the car in the shade in no time. I had given the keys to the car to Kasey since he was walking ahead of me and Lincoln. Once Lincoln and I started walking back to the car, I spotted the car keys half buried in the sand and scooped them up without stopping. Sorry, no picture. Kasey was sure glad to see the keys in my hand. Before returning to camp, we scouted the Elf Owl location that I determined from iNaturalist. I haven't seen or heard an Elf Owl so I wanted to try since we are in their prime habitat. This owl is tiny, about the size of a sparrow. It is the world's smallest owl.

Roads here quickly go from pavement to dirt. Some of it really soft and if you don't have 4 wheel drive, you could end up in a soft section of road.
