MEXICO - DAY 10 - Urique, México, Entre de Amigos Hostel. A wonderful place to stay. There is a well kept, very large vegetable garden grown by Tomas. The guests are invited to share the fresh produce and fruit. Marta also works at the hostel and is a very kind woman. We washed our clothes in a rock sink, rung out through a manual ringer and hung on the clothes lines. Tomas kept the fire going to keep the shower water hot. We sampled foods we had never had before and r...

MEXICO - DAY 11 - Divisadero, Mexico. We stayed this night at the Hotel Paraiso del Oso (Yogi Bear), we shopped in the market at Divisadero and ate lunch from the 1/2-50 gallon metal drums that are used for cooking. We visited the Hotel Divisadero Barrancas, which is directly above the market. The hotel is beautiful with a wood carving on the outside of the door and painting on the inside. The view from the bar and restaurant is beautiful of the canyon below. The Hotel Paraiso del Oso was a wonderful stay and Hugo was a wonderful host.

A beautiful ending to a great trip. We ended in Bahia Kino on the West side of the Gulf of Baja (Sea of Cortez). It is a beautiful beach front city without having been ruined by the "modern" things like fast food restaurants, etc. We watched our final sunset over the water and it was very peaceful. It took 3 days drive to get back to Utah. The historic residents of the Bahia de Kino region were probably first documented in notes taken by Padre Eusebio Kino during his travels to the region in 1685 when he visited the bay and named it Bahia San Juan Bautista (Doode 1999). The local indigenous population was widely dispersed in small hunter-gatherer groups ranging from the Guaymas area as far north as present day Puerto Libertad. They called themselves Comcaac (Seri). The harsh environment of the coastal region dictated that the Comcaac live with a high degree of flexibility and resourcefulness, a characteristic that allowed them to remain free of contact with, and exploitation by, the Spaniards.
