The drive was 9 hours on Saturday, January 12, 2008 and we finally stopped in La Paz, Baha California Sur Mexico, and the capital of BCS. This was probably the most insane drive and Steve drove most of the way because I had a close call with a semi truck as he veered into my lane and I could not stop shaking for a few hours after that. Prior to arriving in La Paz, we had a close call with not being able to find a gas station, luckily we found an off-the-road station at Puerto Escondido, a huge port just past Loreto, BCS. By this time the speedometer read 179170.
We stayed at Club El Moro Hotel (

) on the main strip in La Paz. This was a pleasant hotel and the service was very nice. The balconies were lovely as well. The wireless Internet did not work very well in the rooms and we had to sit out on the patio for full access. The room was a bit more than what we wanted to spend since we are on a budgeted trip but it turned out to be a great experience as we ended up driving the main strip and got to see a lot of what La Paz has to offer.
