For the uninitiated, there is little that can be said to fully express the beauty of Baja California Sur. From the moment one leaves the populations of Colonet & San Quintin, makes a requisite gas stop in El Rosario, and heads into the heart of undeveloped land of cardon, bojum, cholla, poloverde, cirrius and more [...]

… too much time in baja! ….
Posted: October 13, 2011 in Baja Living, Beach Dogs, Casa de Catalina, Environment, Family & Friends, Food, Gardens/Plants, Loreto, Sea of Cortez, Sunrises(coming round again) You my have spent too much time in Baja if: You open the refrigerator and are stunned it’s not filled with Coronas. You can’t drink anything unless it has a slice of lime. It’s not a meal without salsa fresca and chips. You greet everyone with “Hola” or “Buenas Dias”. You keep [...]
beach days are some of the best :-)

Jeanne had this great idea – “Let’s take the boat over to Coronado for the day. Picnic. Swim.” And so we did. She barbecued chicken, tossed up a couple of salads, loaded the cooler with beer and a bottle of champagne and invited her friends. That would include me , Norma, Tom, and next door [...]
I’ve been out of Baja for over a month, and there’s a nagging need to find my way home. Tacos de pescado, arroz con salsa .. possible una cervaza – o dos. Stateside for work, which is bountiful, and for which I am extremely grateful – but the press of the City takes its toll. [...]
Okay, I admit it – I am totally grossed out! Tacos de cabeza? Tacos of head? Oh for sure, I am gagging in the corner. I’ve seen two signs in two days – one for de rez and one for de birra .. We are talking cow and goat here. And while I’m sure the [...]
Great Baja Girlfriends!

Figures that I’d meet friends for the ‘rest of my life’ in sleepy towns south of the border. On a surfing safari to San Juanico, a beautiful blonde approached me at pizza dinner, claiming that for sure she knew me. I was taken aback, but she was so emphatic – almost as sure as I [...]
Bananas Domingo

Shopping at Yargoza, a small local market with fabulous produce, I picked up a bunch of the smallest bananas I’d ever seen. “¿Que son estos?” I asked the young produce girl. “Domingo,” she responded, and pointed to a tag where the name was listed. I love trying new things, so .. bananas went into the [...]
Christmas at Picazone
Posted: December 27, 2010 in Baja Living, Coronado Island, Family & Friends, Food, Loreto, SunsetsChristmas Day, 2010, Loreto, BCS. Dawned with north east breezes, clear skies and crisp temperatures. Shared hot coffee and Christmas cookies with Jeff Kahan who had stopped for a couple of days on his journey south to La Ventana. We took a long beach walk and let the fresh sea air waken us into the [...]
The ‘other’ side … and Picazone memories …

This morning, I found myself back in the United States. It’s then that Baja Dreaming really takes on meaning. For starters, the temperature was a full 30° colder than the climate I left behind. The chill in the air seemed almost biting, but for those who have continuity, it was short and t-shirt weather, while [...]
