Whoops!

It seems that tourists permits are no longer available in La Paz. The border checkpoint at Guerro Negro told us they no longer issue them, and we needed to go back to the international border or on to La Paz to get one. Migracion (INM) in La Paz said we have to return to Tijuana to get them. What? Thats ridiculous. We're here trying to do the right thing and you won't let us? We better get out of Migracion before they arrest and deport us!

Sigh.  I'm writting this on my phone, onboard a flight to Tijuana. In the morning we plan on somehow getting valid papers and jumping on a return flight to La Paz.

On a brighter note,
we made it into La Paz on the 5th, with plenty of time to catch the ferry the afternoon of the 6th. On a darker note, we waited too long on the permit and the ferry has now left without us. But on the upside, there is another ferry sailing on the 7th, and we should be returning on the 7th. But unfortunately, our flight arrives after the ferry sails. There is another sailing on the 9th, but that will seriously delay our arrival into Guanajato.
I think we're going to bail on the Baja Ferries and try to get at least some of our money back. Theres another Ferry (TCM I think) thats a little less money and sails later on the 7th, we're going to try and get on that one.

We Made it into Tijuana, and after alot of blank stares and blah blah bla we managed to get our tourist permits. We're going to try and get our return flight changed to the earlier flight in hopes of catching a ferry today.

Sorry, no pictures for this one.
