San Diego - Santa Rosalia, MEX

After we could crash at Lorraines place, we entered Mexico in Tijuana. The landscape and the driving style changed immediately, even though therewere so many cars from California. The journey to Santa Rosalia took us 3 days. It was a really nice trip. We saw a lot of beautyful landscape, met a lot of nice and friendly people, saw cactuses in the desert, whales, birds, a carneval and a lots of deth animals and crashed cars on the way. Santa Rosalia is a little village right on the Sea of Cortez located in the Baja California Sur. Its a little charming place with a lots of Mexicans and only a few northamericans or here in Mexico "Gringos", which is perfect for learning Spanish as fast as possible. Here we met also the brother of Reyna - Antonio Campos. Hes a Capitan in the Mexican Navy. Hes such a nice guy and helps us whereever he can! Since yesterday we visit every morning a privat Spanish course for 2 hours. In the evening weve the possibility to partricipate in some normal business lessons in the local University. At the beginning its really hard to fallow and to understand, but it helps a lot! Antonio organized everything. Without his help it would have been impossible to study Spanish in such a small town. Muchas gracias! As it looks now, well stay here for 2 weeks till well continue our journey down to La Paz, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Acapulco...

Despues la noche en San Diego nosotros conducimos para Santa Rosalia, un pueblo en la Baja California Sur... En nuestro viaje vistimos mucho paisaje bonito! Los cactuses, las ballenas, los pajaros y muchos animales muertos. Santa Rosalia es un pueblo encantador. Tiene muchos hispanohablantes aqui. Es muy bien para aprender espanol aqui! Nosotros visitamos el hermano de Reyna - Antonio Campos. Es un capitan de la Naval Maxicana. Es muy sympatico y ayudanos mucho! Ayer nosotros tuvimos nuestra primer dia en escuela aqui. En la manana tenemos 2 horas de un curso intensivo de Espanol. En las tardes tenemos la possibilidad de ir en las clases economia en la universidad. Es muy dificil de comprender, pero creo es muy bien por aprender espanol rapid. Antonio ayudanos con la escuela. Es solo possible para ir al escuela en un pueblo con aqui con el ayuda de Antonio. Muchas gracias! Creo que nosotros vivimos aqui por 2 semanas... Hasta luego ;)
