Another day in La Paz --.
Nancy and I made a short trip to the "Malecon". It is a beautiful sidewalk next to the bay, with a small beach and lots of water. The first picture of Nancy is at the beginning of the Malecon. The second picture is looking towards the city from a pier extending into the bay about 100 meters. We passed a couple of people fishing with hand lines and catching what appeared to be needle fish. For perspective, we started our walk on the bay just past the half way point of the picture.
We stopped at one of La Paz's ice cream stands and enjoyed fresh mango sorbet. Yuuummmm! This shop stands out to everyone because of the polka-dot tree at its entrance. Thanks to David and Sherry for this recommendation!We managed to drive to a supermarket for some supplies. Side note about adventures in language ~ La Paz is a Mexican town, not a real tourist town. We are making the effort to shop in the local stores, so each trip becomes an adventure. I entertain the locals with my pantomime and poor Spanish. Fun items to look for are coffee filters. No luck today, but we will take a filter with us when we shop tomorrow.
What you see is not always what you get. I am shopping for some power steering fluid. The front of the store I enter has nice signs for Quaker State and Pennzoil. I walk in and find out it is a plumbing store. ???!!!
.
We use a map to get around La Paz. So far we are doing fairly well, even with the surprising lack of street signs on side streets. Nancy is saying, "I think we go 6 more blocks." She is a pretty good guesser.

I will expand on the driving another day. You find there is a stop, a California stop and a La Paz pause.
