Truly free-range animals. Wild stallions. Brilliant blue waters. Shining stars. Steaming hot Chiapas coffee. Sailboat masts galore. Bazillions of RV's. Smiling, curious faces. This is what I will see for the next week down in Baja. Can't wait to roll out in the AM.
Anyone interested in Baja should read this (start at the bottom)- it's a special blog I did ages ago for MSN.com - lots of good pix and deets about a month-long journey thru the Baja. Some of the comments are rich, as well...people get so dang protective about that land. Just like they do with San Miguel de Allende and Isla Mujeres and Yelapa. Three of my other fave spots in Mexico.
And what will I be eating...hmmm...that's gonna be a toughie. I know I'm gonna want the coconut shrimp down on the Sea of Cortez (but, what about Eating Animals, you say? Oh yah, I hear ya). I am 100% certain tamales are in my future. Margaritas are def. on the horizon. I just want to swim and swim and swim away. The water is like bath water right now.
I can already tell you I'm going to be lured to haul my trailer over there, or even sell my little 14' one and upgrade to that 25' Airstream I've been talking about getting and moving it down to the Sea of Cortez. Somewhere near a dusty airstrip cause you know I'm gonna want to get my pilots license. If I did that, then I would have all three forms of extreme mobility under my belt - sail, RV (wheels) and flight. Could you just imagine? And, there is a perfect little strip that pilots use all the time just south of Mulege. It will be interesting to see what tales (re: outlandish schemes) I return with. Could just jump with joy at the very idea of it all.
Lovely photos of beautiful Baja. Who is that distinguished, handsome fellow behind the counter? Oh...forgot...I'm married.
