"Bad roads, good people. Good roads, all kinds of people."


Mama Anita Espinoza will be 102 this October 16, 2009. She is a very humble lady who would never call herself an Icon so I will because I know her to be one of the most beautiful human beings in the world. To me she is the closest thing to a saint that I know.

The City of Ensenada and the State of Baja California thinks she a pretty good gal too.

I pass by Hector's shrine every time I go to El Metate. Descana en Paz Hermano Héctor.

Bob,
Good one of you and JR. I remember using that photo for something or another regarding JrBaja. I think David K. gave it to me. Rest in Peace Brother JrBaja.

I also used another picture I think was donated to me by David K. to make this one.



I never had the pleasure to bandy words with him but read a lot of his posts. What was it he said about “Chicken Coopers?”


Y que descansa El Señor that Pompano painted too.

David, I see many times the two different spellings for Mama Espinoza/ Espinosa... Event the two awards have the different spellings... books, and even Espinoza's business has had the two ways painted on their signs... Do you know which one is correct or does it not really matter to the family?

When I go to El Rosario on October 13, 2009, I plan on asking Mama who or why their last name "Espinoza" was mispelled on the front sign of the restaurant. David K. the correct spelling is Espinoza!

Beautiful photos from everyone!

Here are a few of the images that seem iconic to me.

It was nice to see these fellows a few times on the way south.

The early morning migration of the lizards from their hiding spots onto the warm granite.

From a certain angle...

Shade!
