Nov 14 -16 Loreto

Three days in the clean little town of Loreto. Had a chance to do some shopping and relaxing. The sheltered harbour holds many fishing boats which get covered with pelicans.
We were hosted to an excellent Fiesta Night at the home of friends of the wagon-masters. We had an excellent meal complete with margaritta's/wine and mariachi players. 
Today we travelled 23 km up a very winding but paved road then 9 km of rough gravel to get to the Mision San Francisco Javier finished in 1759. This mission is considered the "jewel of the Baja California mission  churches".


We stopped on the way back for lunch at Del Borracho a western style pub and had a great meal. After the meal some of the party decided to try the 3 saddle seats and were promptly served shooters in a boot like glass.
