T.G.I.F.

Well... we got through the first week of school. Whew!

The school didn't pamper us old folk. We are not exactly accustomed to four hours a day of intense concentration, plus an hour or so of homework, but we survived. This school seems to use the "shotgun" technique. They blast the students with information and hope some of it penetrates. We both feel overwhelmed but I'm pretty sure that some of the information is sinking in. We are both going back for another week.

Some of the other "estudiantes" finished their session today so a few of us got together for supper on the Malecon (the beach drive and promenade).  Don & Bob, other motorcycle riders are heading to Cabo as well, then up to San Ignacio to watch part of the Baja 1000. Bruno, the bicyclist, is also riding the Cabo loop before taking the ferry to Mazatlan to continue his expedition to Ushuaia.

This weekend we are taking a holiday inside a holiday. We are taking a circular route from la Paz that goes though Todos Santos, Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and Los Barriles before returning to la Paz. It is about 400K round trip so will stay overnight somewhere around mid-way.

The bike is running smoother now. We found a small motorcycle shop nearby and they installed my spare chain and counter shaft sprocket. The rear sprocket is OK for now. I might be able to find a new one in Cabo San Lucas is I'm lucky. Never the less, it should last the rest of this trip since we are not planning to travel that far.

Linda is packed and checking for hotels on her Ipod. We will take a few more pictures to show you over the weekend and next week.

Till then....
