The REAL Baja
I see lots of posts that refer to the "real Baja".
What is the "Real Baja" to you? Is it Baja today or some happy memory?
Let us know.

there is a place in Loreto B.C.S. that is selling lotts to foreigners in a real authentic Mexican Village. I am thinking about buying one of these so
I can study the real Baja Ca.. where else can you get an opportunity like that?
but you need to hurry they are going fast.

JR, I thought that might be your belief, altho sometimes your posts don't sound like it.
Thanks

JR.... 3,500+ posts.... WOW
You almost have as many as David K!

you need to add the posts as "Ski Baja" which JR used to use.

That's right Yankee, a nice breeze blowing from the Sea of Cortez, a gallon of ice tea, and my laptop out here using the WiFi from inside. How
could life be better than this?

The REAL Baja is whatever you make of it. It has so many faces that almost anyone can find something wonderful....almost anyone....but not everyone.
Thank goodness.
I have certainly found it to be addictive, but then I would not have moved here if I didnt love it.
The growth where I live is terrifying. One day on the way to the beach there are sand dunes; the next day they are gone and a neatly scraped
landscape has taken their places. As of today, I can still go to the beach to walk my dogs but I do believe that those days are numbered. When that
day comes, will I want to leave.....you darned right! But I plan to find another wonderful place here. Jeez there are almost 2000 miles of coast,
surely I will find another place to walk my dogs.
This is my home and I plan to make the most of everyday that I live here
That said. It is 90 on my porch the hottest day yet. So I must say that the Real Baja is hot in the summer.....real hot.

To me the Real Baja, more than anything else, is made up of the unexpected things that always seem to happen there no matter how carefullly you plan.
And that goes for today as well as yesterday. Situations that aren't always pleasant at the time eventually end up as adventures you find yourself
telling other people about--"One time we camped at Miller's Landing and . . ." [A considerate Bajaficionado notices when their eyes start glazing
over, and shuts up.]

When I was a teenager, I used to say... it was when you saw boojum trees!
Then I modified it to be anywhere on the peninsula off pavement!
The truth is there are many 'real Bajas', like when Bob H and Audrey invited us to Coctales Mazatlan in Ensenada!
Real Baja?: It is the people, the place, the food, and the fiesta spirit... it is many things to many people.

82 in Ensenada 52% rh. Light breeze from the ocean makes it feel cooler. Had a late lunch of tacos with homemade corn tortillas courtesy of my lovely
wife. Later I'll grill some bass I caught last night and open up a caguama or two.
Keep Mexico weird

Baja is heaven to some, and hell to most.
A toast:
May you have died and gone to heaven
an hour before the devil knows you're dead..
Cheers
