More Baja de California, Mexico

After a long final day of acquiring Mexican insurance and gearing up in Yuma, we finally got the hell out of dodge. We still didn't hit the border until nightfall but we were bound and determined to spend a full final day of '09 in a sweet place so we drove until the wee hours all the way to San Felipe. Long night drives south of the border bring back the memories. A cold balena of XX between my legs sure helped.



The cursed topes... speed bumps from hell.

This is the place: El Malecon de San Felipe.
