On Land in Loreto

Our days in Loreto have woven into a similar pattern.
  • Wake at 6:30 am
  • Eat breakfast
  • Check email etc.
  • Meet at dive shop just before (or just after) 8 am
  • Head out on the boat for two dives
  • Return to Loreto between 2 and 3 pm
  • Shower and veg out for a while
  • Go out for one of the following: beer, coffee/tea, popsicle 
  • Download the days' photos & video
  • Go out for supper
  • Review more photos and videos while trying not to nod off too early in the evening
  • Fall asleep within about two minutes of head hitting the pillow
Wake up the next day and repeat!

In other words, it's been a busy but relaxing time! We love the quiet small town and the local people are so friendly. We're staying in a nice little studio apartment about a block from the water and just steps to the main town square. We keep saying we need to stay longer and take a few days off from diving to do some more exploring around the area. There's so much to do and it's such a beautiful place.

Here's a few, mostly land-based, photos from the town and area.
