What's the view from your casa?

Seeing jdtrotter's post of the view from their front door, I wondered what other Nomads living in Baja gaze upon from their homes. We look out across the Bahia de Todos Santos north toward Ensenada. What you see parked out there is either the Paradise or the Elation. This view is spectacular at night.

great thread

i'm pretty sure 'tis neither......

Dennis, Dennis, Dennis

OK - I'll bite. El Centenario across the bay from La Paz.

We're down in the palms out of the breeze.

This is the best we can do.

Doc's Pub View

Mine is almost as good as Bajabound and BajAmigo. But "Puerto SnoConeFrio", where my house is being built, has too many ice crystals in the clouds fogging my camera. Chain law was in effect this morning.

View

I wish this was a view out my window... an unimproved dirt road leading off to an adventure!

side door view

I love looking out my side door at Juans thong at our beach! Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

view from front door

Our front door view isn't the best but it's not bad either...this is Diver's Point (which I named it as it's Diver's new lot) and the pangas are abalone divers...the season ends in 3 days and was very delicious...but Juan caught his first halibut of the season this evening off the beach so we're on to another delicacy.

From Shari's front door view, there is a little yellow dot in distance---that is jd Baja Trotter's casita amarillo.

or the view from above our new place --- the other side of Diver's point --and one can still see Shari's place beyond Diver's point--aka Iralandia.



Beautiful, no matter which direction one looks

All the views are beautiful. Thanks. You're all very lucky.

El Jefe,

Very nice patio cover! Almost as nice as the model.

One of the Coronado islands in the distance.

zoomed in at sunset

you all are very fortunate!!!!

view from my TENT!!!!!

the earth is my pillow, the skies are my blanket!

The view from my 'sun tarp' (last Saturday)

we live in a GARAGE...

We have a fine view of Salvador's used cars...




Five blocks from the water, we wouldn't trade it for any other

Paula, Those date palms are super.

our view

Cypress,
We have a lot of beautiful palms around us. And right out our back door is a nice old laurel de india.



From our front window we see mangos and tabachin.


And farther out the back is a very mature guamuchil. We took one of these out when we bought the lot, as Salvador thought it was too messy. We wanted to be good neighbors

Paula. All those tree's and the shade is free.

Woody in OB

I believe THIS is the Elation, as seen from our bedroom window yesterday. I think it's on its way to Cabo. BTW, for those of us who are geographically challenged, what does "OB" stand for?

OB.

OUT OF BOUNDS

Here near Salvador's Cars we have norteno en la noche, campanas en la manana, and karaoke (yes, karaoke one neighbor's new hobby) in between.

We've learned to sleep through anything

No ocean, sadly. But even though the house is IN the U.S., we do have a view OF Baja California. That's it along the horizon. The tree line marks the Colorado River (what's left of it below the Morelos Dam). The Algodones Dunes are just on the other side. Not a perfectly clear day, but through the haze you can just make out the Sierra Cucupah above Laguna Salada. To the left (South) is Sonora.

This was my view last September:

Larry,

My Spanish is "fair" but I can't get the gist of the article on ING.
Can you paraphrase briefly in English?

I am withholding the name of the insurance company because, if there is any chance of getting payoff in the future I don't want to jeopardize it. Most of the flood victims in Mulege were insured by this company because they had the lowest rates. True, "you get what you pay for", but I paid for SOMETHING and have gotten NOTHING! Only those who settled in October got a very small settlement. My claim wasn't turned in until February because I wasn't anywhere near ready before. I had to collect estimates and also receipts. My claim was very low because I wasn't able to anticipate all the work and materials needed. It wasn't finished until April.

The adjusters stayed in the same motel as someone very prominent in matters of The Orchard. He apparently reviewed the claims with the adjusters and debunked them. One of the adjusters disclosed this to a claimant as a reason for not settling. They were very intimidating and threatening. The adjusters, by the way, are independent contractors, not employees of the insurance company. They are counting on the prospect of gringos giving it up and just going away because it is just too difficult and seemingly futile. I am not going away, but I am running up a bill for time spent on an "assistant" trying to get answers.

Aint Baja but..

It's the view from my casa...Wish it looked like that today!

Foggy and FFFFFFFLLLAAAAAATTTTTTTT today.

unfortunately south is the side of the house, but I had to attach the deck's ledger board somewhere.

1st attempt at attaching a photo. Should be Shell Beach (Punta Chivato) just before John hit from my place.

Keep that picture burning brightly in your mind and one day it will show up here.
