Leaving San Quintin, Baha California, Mexico

We arrived in San Quintin and ended up staying at a 4 star Hotel that night named Maria Celeste Hotel. It was really inexpensive and even had wireless Internet. The hotel staff was very polite and the accommodations were clean. We went out to eat at a local restaurant recommended to us by the hotel personnel. The restaurant was named Mision Santa Isabel. It was really good food, but we thought quite pricey for where we were located – in the middle of nowhere!Friday, January 11th and we are off to another full day of driving. We filled up in San Quintin and the speedometer read 178290. Since we left Calgary, Alberta, we drove 3,235 km. Friday the drive was very spectacular, however the mountainous highways were quite scary at times. The road was very well paved most of the time, but it became narrower and the steep drive through the mountains was quite adventurous. We drove about 9 hours and decided to pull into an off-the-road hotel in San Ignacio, Baha California.
