On the way to town



The cardon cactus is all over the Baja...it is the tallest cactus species in the world, growing less than an inch a year..some of them are 400 years old!! The 20 minute drive to town is beautiful....lots of views....this is Highway 1 that goes the entire length of this peninsula...over 1000 miles.....this roadside shrine is common in Mexico, they are to honor the dead in traffic accidents or the Virgin Guadalupe.
