We Lived in Our RV in Baja Mexico for 6 Weeks (Loreto, La Paz, Cabo)

Okay, so we just made our first grocery run in Oaxaca. We went to the supermarket here in Loreto. We just needed to get a couple of things. We got like some milk, eggs, and some pomey tortillas. So excited to try those. We're running out of drinking water so we're about to go to a purification station so that way we can fill up our water jugs that we already have. Because that's as people mainly hear about Mexico is that you can't just drink their tap water so. I think we have a reservation. It's like what was it 400? I think it was 400 dollars. 350 pesos. Oh 350 pesos for one night which is a little pricey but it's okay. But we wanted this spot so we can walk into town and kind of enjoy the town. We are walking the streets of Loreto trying to find some chicken and waffles. Come to Mexico, eat chicken and waffles. It's kind of a Nashville thing. I don't know why. You're sweet aren't you? You're so sweet. You're so sweet. You're a sweet boy aren't you? All right, bye. Just got back from dinner. It was really fun. Chicken and waffles was so good. We got a long drive tomorrow so we're gonna call it a night. We're walking down to the shoreline to go catch the sunrise this morning. We should have left a little earlier but I think we're gonna make it. Well we got our sunrise. This little town's just starting to wake up. People are starting to get their boats ready and fishing and opening their little coffee shops. I think we're gonna go get some coffee after this. Cappucito. Cappucito, sorry. Here we are parked on the streets of La Paz eating some lunch. Just here waiting for Andrew and Susanna to get their spearfishing equipment. Now there's a stop sign. Stopping here is kind of a suggestion I guess. After we get everything in order here we're gonna head I guess north. I don't know. And we're gonna go park on a beach. Live the beach life. Yeah this is a cool little town. A lot going on here. I think it's like 250,000 population or something like that. We've been on the beach for about a week now and it's been nice to kind of get back into a more relaxed routine. But today we're going to leave this beach here in La Paz and we're going to head down to La Ribera if it's open. I don't know if it's open or not but we're going to find out. But first we're going to go to La Paz. We're going to get water from a purification center. We're going to go to a Walmart. They actually have Walmart here. I think it's pretty minimum there but we can get groceries and a few things. But then we'll head down to La Berra. Find us another spot to camp on the beach and I think we'll be there another week or so. Probably about a week and then we'll keep heading south and go down to Cabo and kind of make our way back up. We are at a water purificada. Because, you know, drinking water is notoriously known to be not good for Americans. So they filter the water and you can fill up your RV with it or your water jugs and drink it. Kind of a slow process but we only have 30 gallons so it's not too bad. But it's pretty cheap. I think it's going to end up being about 150 pesos give or take. We're going to go to that. We were going to go to that supermarket. It's a little bit more westernized food. It's supposed to be a pretty cool experience here but there was no parking for us so off to a Walmart instead. Almost snagged that one spot but that lady would have moved. It's busier. Just got some groceries from Walmart. Took me a little bit because I had to translate everything. But our next tour is to go to a dump station about an hour and a half away. From there to a little town called Ribera. La Ribera. With a B, not a V. Gotta get gas first and then we leave. La Paz. Just got parked here on the beach. We're getting the Starlink set up. Not too many people here. They said on our overlander that it was closed and maybe it was at that time but it's not now. But I think it's keeping people away which is you know. I don't add to iOverlander and I don't take it away. I just let it be so yeah not too bad of a spot. What's the bucket for? It's going to be for our feet so that way we don't bring as much sand into the RV. All right we got our bucket. That's all we needed. Maybe that helps with the shade. I don't know where we're going for lunch now. We'll just kind of play it by ear. Oh we're gonna eat some croissants. Why? It's a girl. Ollie would like her. Yeah give me one of those donuts. You get one too? I'm not gonna just get you a donut. Got two donuts and this bread for 99 pesos so whatever that is in dollars. It's like five dollars. It's like five dollars yeah. It's not bad. I'm excited about this bread. All right our bread, our tortillas, foot washing bucket for the sand. What do you think Ollie? You want to see it? Ollie's very territorial of the beaches that he stays at. He thinks he owns all of the beaches down here. This morning we're getting some breakfast real early. It's like 6 40. It's about 50 degrees outside. It's a little chilly but we're gonna go to a waterfall this morning about 20 some miles away. Cost us 400 pesos to get in here but they got a little restaurant in there and some like turtles and things like that. It's a neat little place. We're gonna eat lunch here too. That's where we're going down there. Getting excited? This isn't too bad of a hike down probably a tenth of a mile but it's a little rocky. It's a little bumpy getting the RV up here too but it wasn't too bad. I'm gonna see if this water's cold. It's a little chilly. It's not bad actually. Last night was our first night in Cabo. We stayed at a beach like in between Cabo San Lucas and Cabo San Jose. But this beach is really great for snorkeling and it already looks great from here. So I'm gonna bring our little waterproof camera and do some scuba diving and after this we'll go back to the beach and probably just sleep. Now I'm gonna go see I think there's some kind of art art show or art gallery or something going on downtown. Madison's getting ready using all our solar. Well we just got to our campsite for the night. I think you could call it that. It's more like a parking lot with just dirt. But we're in walking distance from the town just like right over here. That's kind of why we did this so we can just walk and not have to worry about our vehicles. So it's fenced in here. I think it's like 150 pesos a night. Is it 150 pesos a night? So far it's free. Yeah that's true. Until they ask us for money it's free. I thought I heard 150 somewhere. Got some churros. Some horchata. Try it. Let me see. Oh I love that. Yeah. You like that? That's good. All right take a churro. Good? Oh my goodness. We should have gotten this one.
