About a week before our six-month Mexican tourist visas expired, we drove up the east side of the Baja peninsula from Loreto to Santa Rosalía to catch the ferry to Guaymas on the mainland. We left late in the
morning when the sun was high and the air was warm. It was Semana Santa (Easter
Week) and we had been warned that the roads would be crowded with travelers.
Mario, our neighbor just back from Mulege, told us that the beaches along the
Sea of Cortés were packed with campers.
