Most friendly place in Baja. Stop telling the BAD guys. Babvaso is on his
way may 2nd. Reno Joe should be on his way by the middle of May. Great article.

In April, 2006... I made Shari's first web page from photos of Bahia Asuncion she sent me, to promote the town... It seemed to work, because Nomads began to go check the place out! http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=16453

It is great she reached out to the Nomads with her warm invitation and hospitality! We met the following year and experienced the hospitality ourselves. The growth and success of Bahia Asuncion as a vacation destination (and home site) was all due to Shari's efforts!

Yeah.....but it's a GOOD crazy....:saint::cool:

shari - 5-2-2014 at 01:07 PM

Ha..I really dont know if it was a typo or I wrote it wrong...but I do suck at math and all the years sort of mesh together...it was probably around 1996 or 7 when I first came to Asuncion and started camping in San Roque then bought a little beach shack in 1998 where I began dating Juan...ah those were the days eh!

I remember meeting you Gato in Dorita's store...you and Zac were probably some of the first gringos I ever talked to in town.

Baja.com asked me to write a story about how I found Asuncion and I enjoyed recalling how I fell so in love with the place.

It has been an amazing journey and we aint done yet!

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone...I look forward to meeting more of you and seeing our old pals when they come back to visit.

Next up....a new triple room for fishermen



a couple photos I snapped a few days ago in a groovy sunset.





We have been working on the bufadora side of the complex building rock wall, planters, planting palms and finishing the patio in front of the dolphin room.

Udo - 5-2-2014 at 01:14 PM

Looks really fabulous, Shari...regardless of what date you first arrived in BA.

I do LOVE the photo of Juan's shack before it became what is is now.

elgatoloco - 5-2-2014 at 04:01 PM

Good times! Viva Asuncion! :dudette:

mulegemichael - 5-2-2014 at 05:35 PM

there are, literally, no two other folks in all of baja that work harder to enhance folks "baja" experience....we just love the way this couple works together to give the ultimate adventure!!!

Bajaboy - 5-2-2014 at 06:02 PM

Fun to watch all the progress in town. I've seen many, including Juan and Shari, create their own little kingdoms. As Shari said, poco y poco!

acadist - 5-3-2014 at 06:18 AM

Thanks to Shari my boys have I have explored this great corner of Baja and met many more great friends. Shari, Juan, and Asuncion are an example of what makes Baja awesome
