The next day we arrived at Loreto Mexico. One of my favorite spots in Mexico. Population of 15,000 people with 1/3 being Americans. Most people speak English with the help of the Americans and Canadians volunteering at the local schools teaching students English.
There are only a few cruises each year that stop here. The town is located about half way up the Sea of Cortez. The town is so beautiful. It was a very hot day but the overhead foliage makes for a lovely walk through town.
This is part of the town square where there is a marker in the pavement that marks the beginning of Highway 1, the original El Camino Real, which stretches the entire west coast all the way to the Canadian border.
This hotel is farther down the from the square. I would love to stay here someday. So beautiful.
The lobby looks like a quiet spot to while away a hot afternoon.
This spiral staircase goes to the roof where the pool is located.
The bottom of the pool is visible from the inside of the lobby.
This is a very old church, has a lot of great details.
And here is the mayor's house and gardens, the gate was open and he invited us in to have a look around.
The town was filled with beautiful foliage, too.
Someone just built this grass hut. I wonder what it's use will be.
We found a donkey cart to take us back to the dock.
So many Fishing boats.
Again a great view of our waiting ship.
The moon was so bright as we headed back out to sea on our way to Puerto Vallarta.
Spotted this Iguana sunning himself on the rocks.
View from our balcony before I headed off to shop at my favorite dress shop.
Last look at town before sailing 3 days back to L.A,
Happy Travels!
