On the way to loreto we met the canadian couple that jeff befriended in san jose del cabo. They saw us looking at maps by the side of the road and said we could camp in the yard. They have a loreto family that stays in their place to take care of it. The family had a 1 and 2 year old that decided tents and motorcycles are very cool so we interacted a lot. At least I knew more spanish than the two year old miguel angel.
One cool thing in mexico is that in places where the road curve is tight and they want you to slow down, they place bumps that set you up on a regular cadence. The bumps get progressively closer together as you go after that, usually downhill, which gives you a sense of speeding up down the hill, causing you to slow more. It is an interesting use of tactile feedback and psychology.
The other thing I have noticed is that in baja 1/3 of the dogs seem to have swollen teats from nursing. I guess spaying and neutering haven't caught on here.
