Another great experience. We pulled into San Ignacio where we met up with a beautiful young, 22 year old, lady from France. Her name is Laurene and she traveled with us in the motorhome for a week. We were very sad when she had to leave us and go back to Mexico to continue her travels. We miss her alot but she said she would come spend more time with us and we would love to show her the United States.Lovely Laurene.
So much fun to be with.

This was an exciting time for us in Cabo San Lucas.
While camped in Cabo San Lucas we were approached by a film production company. They wanted to know if we would like to use our motorhome to be part of the crew for a commercial that was being filmed in the area. When we found out who the star was going to be we jumped right in. In addition to the star, I must say that the Production Manager that worked with us was the nicest lady I ever had to work for. Diana was wonderful and I would do that again in a heartbeat. The star of the shoot, George Clooney, was also a "Sweetheart" and I say that because he was very down to earth unlike most "Hollywood Actors". Inbetween takes he would chat with folks, skip stones into the water or play practical jokes on his fellow actors, extras and staff. He seemed like the kind of guy you could sit down with, have a drink and an enlightening conversation with. Although we love visiting the Baja this was definitly a highlight on this years journey South of th Border. There are more photos but due to the fact that my Motosat internet system failed, I have limited internet access but will try to post more photos when the opportunity arises.
