Ahoy sea dogs!

Hello there, since we last spoke it has been quite an eventful time. I have escaped the sort-of cold of mexico city and am now writing to you from marvellously hot Mulegé on the east coast of the baja peninsula. So what has occurred between times you ask?

I tell you: I arrived into Los Cabos on the point of the peninsula and immediately caught a bus to La Paz a few hours north to escape the price escalating and Brandon infuriating american vortex that exists around Cabo San Lucas. So, on arrival in La Paz, annoying english girl in tow, we found ourselves a nice little place to stay and booked ourselves in for a trip the next day to the outer islands of a smaller peninsula coming off near La Paz. THE TRIP WAS AWESOME! I swam with either seals or sea lions (I´m still not convinced I or anyone else can tell me the difference) and spent the ay cavorting on isolated beaches with crystal clear water. The seals were amazing and so friendly and curious. One of them spent a little while play gnawing on my flipper just like a puppy would. So cool. On the way back we were escorted by a frienly group of dolphins and also saw a whole bunch of flying fish, rays and some more seals/whatever were thrown in just for good measure. In the end our boat ran out of fuel and we had to be dropped off at a different beach. Shame. The beach itself was gorgeous and so were the beers. Good times. This was then unfortunately followed by a self important canadian ¨traveler, not a tourist¨(his words) who irritated everyone for the rest of the night at the hostel. Oh, and I managed to get two, one litre cups full of beer back to the hostel a good 600m walk away without spilling a drop. If this medicine thing doesn't work out I can probably still get a job as a beer wench in munich. May have to shave off the beard though. Or not I guess, if it's one of a ¨different¨sort of clubs. Anyway, not important.

So, busted a move from La Paz to Loreto yesterday, and then to Mulegé today, because Loreto was overpriced and fairly soulless I thought. Did have probably the most amazing road scenery I have ever seen on its' way in though. Just spectacular.

Good, so Mulegé is a town of about 4000, with an old jesuit mission and is reported to be the prettiest town in Baja. Dunno- it is pretty amazing, but again, that's a pretty big call. Off tomorrow to do more snorkeling (the diving part was full) which should be great too. I am running out of time though. Boo. I need to be in LA on the 5th, and this will either mean one big long haul bus trip from somewhere near here or a few shorter ones with less time in each place. Neither are super appealing but I guess if that's my biggest problem then things are going ok.

I'll try and get some photos up but if I can't, then you'll just have to wait until after the 7th when I get home and you buy me a beer.
