?Mi Baja, No Hurry, No Worry? is a fun tale of living and playing in Baja California, Mexico" written by Bernie Swaim, a retired San Diego police captain.

This 185 page book is the story of one man's escape from the pressures of reality to the other side of the border; a place where worries vanish, the need to hurry ends, and life's problems are delegated to ?ma?ana?.

?Mi Baja?? is also the story of several colorful characters Bernie meets and interacts with, as he builds his dream home on the Mexican coast at La Salina, north of Ensenada.

A community grows to form one of the most interesting inter-personality centers in North America, and as more ?Norte Americanos? migrate to La Salina, the surprises never cease. The new town centers around the Cantina, where tequila is the medicine of choice to cure all of civilization?s ills. ?Mi Baja, No Hurry, No Worry? may become the first 100 proof book in your library.

?Mi Baja, No Hurry, No Worry? will leave you smiling as it covers nearly 40 years of history and the impact the following lesson had on its author and will have on you: "Once the dust of Baja settles on your shoulders you may never shake it off".
