LaPaz , Baja California Sur, Mexico. Immer noch.
Der Hurrikan hat hier keinen groesseren Schaden angerichtet. Ich auch nicht.
have now I here the entry permits for the Yami and me to get the same motor vehicle liability insurance. So now I'm an ordinary tourist. Chain and sprockets of the Yami I have since replaced.
Another dangerous mood in the air.
But life goes on ...
... and a day to an end.
Am Sonntag habe ich an einem Bootsausflug zu mehreren Inseln in der Cortez-See (dem 'Blinddarm' zwischen der Halbinsel und dem mexikanischen Festland) teilgenommen. Es gab viel zu sehen: Wasser, Wellen, Wueste. Wale und Walhaie leider nicht. Die kommen erst ab Dezember.
Dafuer aber jede Menge Pelikane,
dolphins, sea lions, colorful fishes and fish eagles, all in action.
The Bootfuehrer said that the sea lions are peaceful and playful.
Er wusste es, die Seeloewen auch. Beim Schnorcheln kam der eine oder andere neugierig bis auf ein paar Zentimeter an die Schwimmer heran.
Den Fischen waren wir voellig egal.
Die Adler haben uns mal so richtig gezeigt, wie einfach fliegen ist, oder wie man auf einer Kaktusspitze landet. Angeber.
So the day was spent swimming, eating, lazing around until sunset.
Am 15.9. Mexico was the day of independence from Spain. On this occasion the whole family moved to the government palace. There are fireworks, music, food, drink, dance, children's toys. But before a speech by the Governor with many 'Viva Mexico'-call, so the day here' is called Dia de grito '(Kreischtag). My hosts have me summarily declared a family member and dragged along.
Today was a trip to the Cape Peninsula to the program. Get out just floating.
here - by the way south of the Tropic of Cancer (in Arthur Miller Memoriam) - reach the Sea of \u200b\u200bCortez and the Pacific together.
They say the waves were, especially in November / December fuer Surfer noch interessanter als jene auf Hawaii.
Da kommen auch die Grauwale und Walhaie und sehen zu.
Angelika & Reinhold, I think this is something for you. There are around 100 km around the corner is the largest American reef, directly in front of a super sandy beach. The road from there back to La Paz leads winding through a mountain. What more could you want? To South America. It's time to move on. On Sunday, the ferry to Mazatlan.

LaPaz , Baja California Sur, Mexico
Hier bleibe ich.
There are no chain and no other parts for the Yami. 10 to 14 days would take it on, says a nice dealer. I ordered the parts in Germany. Until they are there, I repaired, and everything here have seen what I consider worth seeing, I will stay with Alicia, Vicente and their families. It just takes a hurricane through the country, with wind and rain. Unkommod something for camping. Luckily make itself felt in La Paz (The Peaceful) only spurs the cyclone. Alicia provided me mothers from their excellent cuisine and is also a patient language teacher. Vicente is an educated, many interests painter and musician. He shows me proud (to right) and his city (he discussed with passion -But consistently well-founded, I with language difficulty) about God, the world, history, music, visual art and politics. English. It goes. He is just awesome, take both literalness. The best school that I may have. Alicia wants revenge: I want her to cook German food, good grief. We'll see, but actually I will do this for all the friendly people.
