Gosh this Spanish keyboard has a few differnces! I can´t figure out a few of the keys, so excuse my grammer. In short Baja is very beautiful and the people are friendly. Crossing the border at Tecate was a good choice, it is a very nice city. The scenery was incredible and has been improving every day. In Tecate we had our first Mexican meal at a restaurant, the first of many. Riding out of Tecate it was a bit hot and the climb was steep. I did not realize we were only 20 minutes for Tijuana.
We arrived in Escanada the next day and found a good hotel. It even had english television so I could watch some of the Super Bowl. We ate at a wonderful Chinese buffet 'Escanda has wonderful Chinese). The next morning we found the grocery store and then headed for La Bufadora, where the world´s second largest ocean geyser is located. Unfortunately it was not exploding much, but the campsite that night had wonderful views. We shared two 6' packs of Mexican cervasa for about $10. The next day we cycled back to HWY 1. Before riding on we sampled a recommended seafood cocktail 'octopus, srimp, clams). That afternoon the weather became quite warm, around 80 degrees. Later in the afternoon we turned off the HWY to head for the beach, headed for Coyote Cal´s hostel. The last 3 miles of road were horrible and the hostel was very overpriced. Fortunately we camped for free, did laundry, got more beer, and enjoyed a good dinner. Unfortunately I threw up six times that night, most likely due to the seafood cocktail. The next two days were absolute misery. Try riding with a sore back, dehydrated, no food in your stomach. Trust me it ain´t NO fun. Two days later and some quality toilet time later I´m better.
So now we our South of San Quinten and planning a rest day on the beach. Which is good because Dave´s snoring abilities have drastically increased in decibils. ARG. So here´s to nice weather and good health. At least I´m not in Ann Arbor where it´s 20 degrees today.
P.S. Sorry about no photos, but the computer is very slow.

Sorry to hear you were sick. It was probably the fish, but could have been anything. Are you drinking enough water (bottled)? Try getting some gatorade or other bottled sports drinks and saltine crackers. And don't forget to take the Cipo. Hope you feel better.
Also, that much beer probably didn't help- your body's not used to that brand, so take it easy, tiget.
Glad you guys are having fun!
Thanks for the suggestions. I don´t like sports drinks, too sugary. Would differnt beer really matter
