The Boarder Crossing (Paper work before the job is done)
Nov 1st

We drove through the boarder and made a pit stop at the immigration office. Because we are going so far into México we had to go through customs and register the motorcycles. This process included going to the immigration office to fill out forms, then to the bank to pay for customs, then back to the immigration office for a stamp confirming that they saw that we paid, then back to the bank for confirm that we got the stamp, then to the copy office to copy our documents and registration forms, then back to the bank to pay for the temporary Mexican vehicle permit where they made more copies of what we just copied. Fortunately there were no lines and it only took 2 hours. A security guard informed me that on the weekends each office line has about a 2 hour wait..

Off to San Quintin (We are not in prison)
Underestimating our travel time we went against now obviously good advise about driving at night in Mexico. After a beautiful day of desert mountains and breath taking views of the Pacific Ocean, we pulled into San Quintin to sleep. It was sort of not by choice. Driving at night in Mexico includes: dodging cows, goats and dogs, extremely dusty conditions while driving through towns, cars with missing head lights, tail lights, turn signals, no lights at all and sometimes semi-trucks trying to pass you on narrow roads if you are not going fast enough. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see much of the town as we pulled out pretty early in the morning.
