This will be a mini-trip report beginning with my meeting Bernie in front of Hotel La Perla & taking him on a short sightseeing drive out to the
beautiful white sandy cove of Balandra. He was appropriately bedazzled by the natural beauty of the cove for a few moments....until a car pulled up
next to us & a lovely young Mexican chiquita leaped out of the drivers door & immediately began showing her joy in life dancing to the music
of the song on her radio. Lest Bernie forget, she was dressed in a white t-top, green bikini bottom with a yellow sarong tied low on her hip. I
wonder which memory will first come to mind when Bernie next hears a reference to Balandra; the natural beauty of the terrain or the natural beauty
& spontaneity of the lovely young girl? Hopefully he'll retain the image of her beautiful surroundings in his minds' eye,
too!
From Balandra, we made the short drive out to Tecolote where the waves hitting the beach were the roughest I've ever seen in that area as we walked a
short way on the beach. This was the first trip I've made to Tecolote without seeing one pelican; possibly because of the rough waves.
As we headed back into town for dinner, bajalera responded to the messages I'd left for her & we picked her up to join us for dinner at Tres
Virgens. Pleasant company, great food & hopefully, no one witnessed Bernie's leaving the ladies room!
Jesse joined us after we'd eaten & he & Bernie reminisced! We left Jesses' excellent company to join the
throng of cars & people on the Malecon.
Hopefully Bernie acquired some pleasant mental imagery which will be brought to mind whenever anyone makes reference to places which were formerly
merely names on a map!
This evening, he'll be able to put faces and voices to several people who have merely been online Nomad names, at the "Flan Gathering" at BMG &
lili(etc)'s!

It was so great to meet you last night Bernie! Thank you, again, for the wonderful gifts. We shall treasure them always.

No longer in La Paz....not sure about the having fun part! Bernie called this
AM while waiting for his flight at SJD airport to say thanks & good-bye. He should be home by now.
Lovely long legs

That beautiful vixen that you referred to will forever be etched my mind as will so many of the wonderful meetings with Nomads in the city of Peace.
Would that I could be so free in my appreciation of this wonderful place as she announced with her wonderful dance………..sadly her male friend frowned
and said something that stopped her fantastic dance that reminded me of the dance of the Seven veil’s.
No! as I told Longlegs (and they are) I never even noticed the dance nor the lady…………..just the fantastic blue waters of the lagoon…Absolutely
amazing!!!!
You were very gracious when you neglected to say that I ran from the small waves as you bounced over them with feet as you were born with. I guess
you didn’t mention it because I copped out that I only brought one pair of shoes and could not allow them to be ruined
Okay, not a trip report yet…sleeping this night and then my fingers will dance.

Really liked your last line and I am sure that the trips will happen as often as I 'need'..............oh! Heck! as I 'want'....Good thoughts.
Gathering my thoughts and my notes and when I have paid the bills that stacked up...........then I can play and try to re-live a wonderful
trip...........So many new friends and I live for old and new friends..........that is, for sure, what makes the world go around for me.
Diver I just re-read you comments and they are all so true!

Bernie,
So glad to read about your experience in La Paz being such a positive one. Gives me hope that you will again return to us in the South, for sure, the
sooner the better as far as I am concerned.
bajalera - 4-16-2008 at 09:13 PM
Amen to that.
Thank you Lee
Baja Bernie - 4-16-2008 at 09:14 PM
We should have danced--but then all of the kids would have felt bad!
