We love Santa Rosalia, next to La Paz, this is our favorite
Mexican town. After a quick stop at Sweet Pea Cove we came across the channel
to the Marina in Santa Rosalia.
The town has French architecture and a church designed by
Gustave Eiffel. The French company El Boleo founded the town in 1884 and ran
the copper mine until it closed in 1954. Recently, a Canadian company has
reopened the mine and the town is booming.

The Marina is short on money so there is no toilet paper in
the bathrooms and no propane for the hot water or the clothes dryers. I can use
the washers, but have to hang the laundry out to dry.
The town celebrated their 127th anniversary with
a Mariachi concert in the square.

We’ve been enjoying fish tacos for breakfast
almost daily. Tonight we’ll have Chinese food.

Rick will take the bus to Loreto tomorrow and pick up the
rental car. We leave Friday to drive north to the bay area for a visit. We’ll
be back around the middle of August to head further north into the Sea of
Cortez.
Wow - hate to hear that Singlar is struggling - liked that place. But, it doesn't seem to be slowing down your fun. Enjoy your trip north!
