the hotel plaza loreto looked like a really neat spot - we might try that next time too. there were a lot of vacancies and empty restaurants and bars. apparently it's not 'high season'this time of year. they say that the fishing is better when its warmer. we only toured to mulege - next trip we'll do the mission in the mountains and the oasis. every february sometime, a couple from the u.s. holds a pig feast for gringos. on the saturday, all the men are invited to go up to a ranch in the mountains to witness the pigs being slaughtered, and then i assume they get into the piss. at that time, this couple buys two more piglets and gets the farmer to raise them for slaughter the next year. then on sunday, the pigs are cooked in huge vats (in their own fat i guess) and both men and women this time are invited to partake. after the meat has been removed the fat is cooked a little more until it becomes crackling and everyone grabs a bit of that. the mountains are so beautiful. i couldn't have imagined how lovely the desert could be, especially at sunrise and sunset. probably the fact that there's no pollution makes them appear to be etched. i really loved it. -rosita
