From the Actor

Come along on the adventure of a lifetime! The adventure begins at the busiest border crossing in the world. WE take a tour with the U.S. Border Patrol. Today's Tijuana is much different from the run down place many of us remember.Ensenada is famous for its fish market, the blowhole, Estro Beach and Hussong's Cantina-the "bar that built a town". A side trip takes us to San Felipe on the Sea of Cortez, a beach playground for RV'ers. Sierra National Park, looking much like Northern California, is home to the Pico Diablo, the highest mountain in all of Baja. Our route takes us south to San Quintin and El Rosario, the home of Mama Espinosa's famous restaurant, where we talk to mama herself. Bahia De Los Angeles, one of the most beautiful places on the peninsula, is home to a wide variety of wildlife and provides access to the Midriff Islands and life forms found nowwhere else on earth. Guerrero Negro is famous for salt productions and the world's friendliest gray whales, who get close enough to pet. We also visit a reserve protecting the endangered Peninsular Proghorn, which have a population of less than 200. In San Ignacio we tour the mission and enjoy a parade honoring its patron saint. Santa Rosalia's history features mining and french colonial style architecture. Mulege, the oasis in the desert, offers palm trees, dorado fishing, birding and a hike to nearby cave paintings. Camping on the beach a few feet from the beach makes many consider Bahia Conception the ultimate Baja destination. Loreto is one of the most pleasant towns in Baja featuring a mission museum and a four wheel drive side trip to San Javier and its well preserved church. A visit to San Carlos allows us to explore Magdalena Bay with its mangroves and esturaries. La Paz is noted for an attractive waterfront walkway and some of the best scuba diving on the peninsula. The adventure ends in the popular tourist resort of Cabo San Lucas. This is an adventure packed 75 minute video experience!

happy Mr. and Mrs. C couple - See all my reviews

This review is from: Czech/Slovakia Land of Beauty and Change [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I really enjoyed this video. We have a rich Czech/Slovakia heritage in our city that we live in and I wanted my kids to get a feeling of what these countries are like. I homeschool my kids and they found this to be very interesting. It brought the history of this area alive. Much better than just reading about it.

This video is full of wonderful information and has some humor in it as well. Definately recommend this!!
