You and Laura are most welcome John and thank you for the review. We will give it a try our next time down. It was a delight to meet you and sooo
many others. Now, if I could only get the real and chat names together I would really have it all.
The big question is: did Laura return to Kansas? I would have bet many things that she would have given you a kiss on the lips and a pat on your back
as you boarded the airplane. Seeing the Baja coast fresh through her eyes is a wonderful refresher on just how special the place is. Tim

Tim,
Pretty astute about your observation of Laurie (not Laura but that's ok). She said several times on Sunday and Monday morning that she didn't want to
leave (and she wasn't kidding) and that she now knows where she wants to move to.
And really it was great seeing Baja through her eyes. I warned her about the squalor of the area and the area, while it offers much to support
tourism, IMO is not very "touristy" (a good thing for me).
I hear many complain about that Baja Norte is getting too touristy but I've been going for years and I'll take it over Cabo, Acapulco, Puerta
Vallarta, Cancun, Cozmel, etc... anytime. Most of Baja is REAL Mexico - where you see squalor and the way real Mexico lives. For me that is part of
the charm. The prices are realistic, not ridiculous like Cabo for example. I don't know how long it will stay that way, but I suspect it will always
have some of that magic for us. If it hasn't gotten rotten yet - even with its proximity to San Diego and All of SoCal then perhaps it never will?
I mean the area between TJ and Ensenada alone, is within 3-3.5 hours of over some 12 million Americans (or more)?
Any way I was concerned that Laurie would be rattled by the poverty and not see the beauty that is deep within the area. It obviusly didn't bother
her at all - ha ha. She loved it. Wants me to start planning the next trip (hopefully this fall).
I actually would like to spend a few days in San Felipe - never been there but I have read about and studied the area for quite some time. It's about
time I ventured to the Sea of Cortez someday. The only time I have been to the Cortez side, was on the Cabo East Cape (Cabo Pulma) back in 1998 or
1999.
John

Me No
I had to laugh at you crazy statements! Granted I do not know you but I do know David and consider him a friend.
Your statements are boadering on much more than the silly.
I have worked very closely with Keri for the past three years in an attempt to make this a truly International Event where authors from both countries
come together to celebrate our mutual love of Baja. I guess you could say that I have a vested interest in seeing that this event is 'successful'
Many people help in the endeavor and David is a minor BUT inportant player--as are several other people---*******************.
****************

The EVENT was a HUGE success THANKS to all of the positive people who worked on it and who attended it because of their love of Baja.
Keri and I are sure to follow up with an even greater HAPPENING next year.
Thank you so much for allowing me this opening to brag!!!!!
And Thanks to Keri for allowing me to help her make HER idea a success. What a Lady!

True Bernie
I don't have much in the way of friends because of something called worthiness
I do on the other hand have many non white friends because I prefer folks who sing every day!
Black bamboo is still in the plans but it's probably easier to get in the states. On the other hand though, I just finished planting Guadua
bamboo. Diameter of about 6 " and it's sprouting and growing.
Glad you guys had a fun event at Keris.

I said non white
and that covers a lot of territory my friend. And it has always been a sense of pride to consider you a friend amigo no matter which color you may
be, the key part is the singing

David, thanks for the photos. Just got back from 2-weeks on the road touring the upper mid-west. The photos are great. I hope to make it next year.
See all of you, hopefully, the end of July in El Rosario! (Baja Cactus get-together!)

Thanks Bob!
The Pyramid event om Apr. 23 was followed a week later by Guadalupe Canyon trip! You can see those photos too...
Just click on my link (below) to my Baja Notebook. I re-edited it last night with links to each trip web page taken this year... and the Save Mision
Santa Maria project note and photos.
See you at Baja Cactus, El Rosario July 22-24 for the big festival! 'El Rosario' will be 231 years old on July 20 (1774-2005)!
