Hell’s Half Acre

I am having a difficult time coming back from whatever happened on Thursday. Systemic, local, reaction, whatever. I have had severe GI issues (which are supposed to be a sign of allergic reaction, according to Dr. Jamie-Google), sweats, foggy head and dizziness. At least the fever is gone and I think the [...]

I’m not a religious person. I don’t believe in a God. But you have to have a stone heart to listen to Martin Luther King Jr. preach. Goosebumps. Tingling. I have to stop work, gaze into the distance and sink into his words. The man brings tears to my [...]

Baja is a different county.  It is hard to recognise that the penninsula is simply two more states of the United States of Mexico, because it is so incredibly different.  We’ve only been in mainland Mexico for 2 days, but it feels like we’ve travelled to a different country.
Municipal markets are in every town.  Very [...]

We made it to La Paz but a full update will have to wait til later.  Tomorrow I hope to check ferry schedules and see if we can get a booking.  Love to all and nice to see Papa and Tata back in the swing again!

They’re in Nevada, headed for Texas and then to the Yucatan.  All good; they just don’t update like those of us who can’t stop jabbering.  A note for everyone who contacted me, worried about them. 
I’ll answer emails tomorrow; sorry about the delay.

We spent the entire morning in San Ignacio, walking around the plaza; walking around the center of town (well, in actuality, that would be the plaza and about 2 blocks surrounding it); walking around the iglesia (1768 church).  I spotted a tortilla factory and thought the kids might enjoy watching the tortillas made.  When Jesse [...]

Some pictures of the town; we walked to the plaza and all around the plaza this morning.  We found a tortilla factory and the boys bought two dozen.  (una docena de harina, por favor?)  It took them about 5 minutes to memorize the phrase and the tortilla ladies were quite taken with all four.  We [...]

It seemed like we were surrounded by fog when the sun came up this morning; the light was filtered and grey instead of the bright orange we normally get at sunrise.  We experimented a bit with the Interstate batteries and the generator; we ran the generator for one hour and got 4 hours of juice [...]

We have been concerned about power for a while now but thought purchasing 2 additional RV batteries and the generator would solve them.  We left Guerrero Negro last night, headed for the lagoon (and campground) at 6:30pm.  The sun was setting and looking West was a gorgeous sunset.  Looking south, however, was frightening.  The sky [...]
