A major haul through Baja

[Above: A shot of Rolf driving through Baja by the light of the maplight. The first week of Drive Around the World has involved lots of night driving and high-mileage days.]

Just checking in here briefly to let everyone know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Rather, I am busy driving across the face of the earth.

Indeed, the Baja run of Drive Around the World has been mileage-intensive, and I haven't been able to keep my journals up to speed, what with all the night driving and my group team duties. I hope to find some down-time in Mazatlan to catch up on entries through Las Vegas, entry into Mexico, and the Baja run.

One reason why I've been neglecting this blog is that I'm editing the team blog for Drive Around the World. Thus, for a real-time account of what we're up to (albeit one that is not written by me), surf to the journal page of the DATW website. A different team member writes an account of each day of the week, and those entries can give you a vague idea of where I've been, as I try to get my own travel tales written and posted here.

All best from mainland Mexico...
