Ellen ordered a LARGE cappucino! |
Barbara demonstrating her yard alterations back home |
Driving north on "Highway 1" |
A visit to Todos Santos |
Bougainvillia abounds |
Such intense colors |
The famous Hotel!! |
The famous Hotel's bar |
It's rather whimsical inside |
Ellen's idea for an artsy photo |
More views of the bar |
Did the Eagles sit right here? |
Beautiful outdoor courtyard |
With a nice fountain |
And mariachis on top of the roof |
Church in Todos Santos |
The girls in Todos Santos |
Another artsy photo |
Church in a tiny town (Triomph) on the drive home |
Hanging fruit (which was really delicious!) |
Accidentally got into a goat farm |
They were so cute! |
Got Milk? |
Boiling water to use on our hike |
Cooling down said water, to put in plastic bottles |
Road Runner! (he'd actually RUN across the ROAD!) |
Cows along our road |
A sweet baby |
More cows |
Driving to "Table Mountain" for a hike |
One of the intrepid sandy road drivers |
WHERE is the trail?!?! |
Barbara taking off cross country, sans trail |
Ellen is brave too |
Cyn likes the rocks |
Well, now where do we go?! |
Looking back at our little car |
LOTS of cacti along the way |
Had to back-track for a lot of it |
Artsy again |
On top of "End Table" mountain (we wanted SOME sense of accomplishment, so we named it ourselves) |
Found a cool cave |
yeah for the rocks |
Flagstone everywhere |
A few girls on End Table Mountain |
Some rocks were red! |
Finally, we found the trail! |
Salivating vultures overhead |
Circling the potential dinner (us) |
Along the actual trail |
Rugged country |
We called this "Side Table Mountain" |
These look like marula trees to me |
Barb and Ellen take a rest on the steep hill |
Cacti and rocks |
A view back down the hill |
We round a cairn marking the trail! |
FINALLY: the view from the top of Table Mountain |
The Sea of Cortez from the top |
Looking northeast back towards our house |
Girls on top! |
Girls and sea |
YEAH!! |
Mighty deep crack in the rocks |
We built our own cairn |
Found some pretty interesting ones along the trail |
Clever cairn |
Clever cairn 2 |
Clever cairn 3 |
Looking back |
oops, ended up IN another farm! |
Guess we took the WRONG trail |
This is just before the barking dogs came |
Happily leaving the farm without being eaten by dogs or bulls |
Interesting large cactus |
Cows on the drive home |
Majestic faces |
Cute babies! |
Hello |
Barbara really liked this cactus |
Back to our rental house |
Quite windy! |
