This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 31 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken May 14, 2012 from 21:12:29 to 21:21:35 GMT, on a pass from west of northern California to southern Mexico. This video begins looking southeast over California and the Pacific Ocean, with the Sierra Nevada Mountains off to the left of the video. As the ISS continues southeast, the large city of Los Angeles can be seen on the coastline, north of the Baja Peninsula. The pass ends overlooking northern Mexico.

Overlanding Baja California Mexico - Agua Verde to La Paz | Ep 15 | Baja Overland Adventures
This is episode 15 Overlanding Baja California Mexico - Agua Verde to La Paz of my new series from 2017 Xmass trip called: Baja California Overland Adventures
On day 14 of this Baja California road trip, I've wrapped up with our baja mexico camping in very scenic area of Agua Verde, which I call Grand canyon by the sea.
We've departed with Brad and Brett and headed further down Baja California Sur for 4-5 hour travel to La Paz Mexico.
Overlanding mexico in general means hitting dirt roads when you least expect them. One moment you are driving on highway that can suddenly turn into unpaved highway, and your Baja overland trip may just suddently become spontaneously more fun. Agua Verde gave use another taste of mexico dust that we enjoyed very much before hitting civilization again.
We arrived in La Paz Baja California Sur Mexico closer to sunset and finally had a chance to clean our trucks before going into the center of town for a little slow ride down the beach road looking for just the right and cheap hotel to stop at. The food was delicious and moderately priced, boozing our way through the evening we hit jacuzzi and then called it a night.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Baja California (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbaxa kaliˈfoɾnja] (listen); English: Lower California), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California), is a state in Mexico. It is the northernmost and westernmost of the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. Before becoming a state in 1952, the area was known as the North Territory of Baja California (El Territorio Norte de Baja California). It has an area of 70,113 km2 (27,071 sq mi), or 3.57% of the land mass of Mexico and comprises the northern half of the Baja California Peninsula, north of the 28th parallel, plus oceanic Guadalupe Island. The mainland portion of the state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by Sonora, the U.S. state of Arizona, and the Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortez), and on the south by Baja California Sur. Its northern limit is the U.S. state of California.
The state has an estimated population of 3,315,766 (2015) much more than the sparsely populated Baja California Sur to the south, and similar to San Diego County, California on its north. Over 75% of the population lives in the capital city, Mexicali, in Ensenada, or in Tijuana. Other important cities include San Felipe, Rosarito and Tecate. The population of the state is composed of Mestizos, mostly immigrants from other parts of Mexico, and, as with most northern Mexican states, a large population of Mexicans of Spanish ancestry, and also a large minority group of East Asian, Middle Eastern and indigenous descent. Additionally, there is a large immigrant population from the United States due to its proximity to San Diego and the lower cost of living compared to San Diego. There is also a significant population from Central America. Many immigrants moved to Baja California for a better quality of life and the number of higher paying jobs in comparison to the rest of Mexico and Latin America.
Baja California is the twelfth largest state by area in Mexico. Its geography ranges from beaches to forests and deserts. The backbone of the state is the Sierra de Baja California, where the Picacho del Diablo, the highest point of the peninsula, is located. This mountain range effectively divides the weather patterns in the state. In the northwest, the weather is semi-dry and mediterranean. In the narrow center, the weather changes to be more humid due to altitude. It is in this area where a few valleys can be found, such as the Valle de Guadalupe, the major wine-producing area in Mexico. To the east of the mountain range, the Sonoran Desert dominates the landscape. In the south, the weather becomes drier and gives way to the Vizcaino Desert. The state is also home to numerous islands off both of its shores. In fact, the westernmost point in Mexico, the Guadalupe Island, is part of Baja California. The Coronado, Todos Santos and Cedros Islands are also on the Pacific Shore. On the Gulf of California, the biggest island is the Angel de la Guarda, separated from the peninsula by the deep and narrow Canal de Ballenas.
