Where in Baja is Biola?


During the three weeks we're in Baja we'll travel more than 700 miles south of the border. We'll be traveling in large vans making frequent stops for roadside rambles, both for lectures and observations of the landscape and the towns. In general, we will not be in places where we can be reached, however, there are internet cafes in several of the towns we visit, so we will have intermittant access to email.

Here is our itinerary, as we have planned it. We will be in these loctions more-or-less on the days listed. I've included a notation next to the towns we know have internet access, and a link to more informtion about each of our different stops.

Use the map to see where we are as we travel around Baja.
