Guerrero Negro, BCS
Day 4 A day editing the hundreds of whale photos and writing about our experience from the day before. And doing laundry. I had noticed a “lavanderia” (a Mexican version of a laundromat) a block away, and while doing laundry in a sink/bucket is relatively easy, the drying (in a sand-blown town) is kind of… Read more…

Day 2: Chores We have a small 1-bedroom AirBNB house rented for 5 nights in Guerrero Negro.
