Ahhhh, Mexico!

Well, we are officially "enamorados" with Baja (in love)! I have a lot to catch up on here in our little blog - so much has happened, so many "little stones of adventure" have been overturned in such a short time, it feels we've been gone for months. This won't be a "once in a lifetime trip" down here, because we are definitely coming back. We would like to come and stay for a few months, like many Norte Americanos in their RVs do - from January through March. There is so much to do and to really relax and enjoy it, it would be wonderful to be here for a longer time. We have plenty of time, but as spring progresses, it is getting warmer, and we would also like to make it all the way to Alaska by summer, with many explorations in between, so our self-imposed schedule sends us back north fairly soon.

We are currently in Loreto, Baja California Sur, and enjoying some city life luxuries along with the quirks of residing in a Mexican town - the Giant Megaphone cars that drive by on a regular basis announcing who knows what to the neighborhood, for example, the water vendor with his Woody Woodpecker horn, the roosters crowing before dawn, and here in the Rivera del Mar RV Park, the sounds of wind in palm fronds, and Orioles and Sparrows singing while building their nests. Oh, and a laundry and internet access!! All for $14 a night - quite expensive by Baja standards, but well-worth it to catch up on things like the blog, emails, laundry, groceries, etc.

What I will try to do is update in installments - separate posts throughout today detailing the last week or so of experiences - look for posts on beautiful beaches, great food, flora and fauna, deserts, jeep roads, whales, towns and people!

This has been a wonderful trip so far!

More to come soon!
