DAY 4:

We spent the morning snorkeling the rocky shoreline next to our camp spot. Having never snorkeled as an adult, it was like being in another world. The fish were beautiful, and unafraid of us. There was a large school of Mackerel that swam under and around us. I could have done that all day, but all adventures must end. We packed up, and drove north on MEX 8 to the border. It took about an hour to make the crossing into Lukeville.

Note: I used the new Sony Cyber-shot U DSC-U60, underwater digital camera to take all of the digital photos. It proved to be a great tool in the water and sand due to its sealed case, etc.

Special Note: Many people have misconceptions of Baja (Sonora in this case). I never once felt unsafe, or harassed. The personnel at the military checkpoints were respectful and efficient. Just remember, that you are in someone else's country, and if you respect their laws/ culture, they will respect you. Make an attempt to speak their language, even if it is just a "gracias", and a smile. The experience people have at a border town gives them a totally distorted view of the country and its people. I left Mexico with a GREAT desire to return, and I will...
