Debra and Matomi
Debra used to be (and still is in my mind) 'Travelpearl'... a lover of adventure and professional globe trotter.
Just over three years ago she was seeking answers on another board and I knew she would find them on Amigos de Baja, where we all (then) hung out. So,
I invited her over... Right away, she knew she had found her new Baja family.
El Camote was hosting a group campout at his digs in Baja and I was leading a tour from there. Debra wanted very badly to attend and even offered to
fix us all her famous spaghetti dinner. Alas, being 1,000 miles north of Baja makes a quick trip to San Felipe a bit difficult. Her enthusiasm however
was magnetic.
That trip she missed was the first MATOMI group event on Presidents Day 2001 http://vivabaja.com/shell and
http://vivabaja.com/matomi
Travelpearl did finally meet us as a member of the Viva Baja Van Gang which started at M's BBBB #1, Cielito Lindo http://vivabaja.com/van1
Others in the Van or traveling with us in a poor old truck included: El Camote, David Eidell, Desert Rat, my kids, Miguelito, Mike and MaryAnn
Humfreville.
We camped at Paulina's ('P') place in L.A. Bay and had great campfire talks that lasted until 'moondown'.
Anyway, Matomi was involved in the start of our knowing Travelpearl... or 'Debra'.

Sheeseh David, Thank you....but,
I hope that you didn't post my SSN..... (just kidding!)
LONG, LONG TIME AGO.....(it was more than 3yrs. ago David...more like 4).....I came home after being at the hospital with my pregnant daughter that
was 'T-Boned" in a car wreck (my 2yr. old g-daughter was in the car also....they had to cut them out of the car) to find an email from David K.
inviting me to a Baja chat....there that night, I met, David, Paulina, "RockieRoad" Emma, Glenn..(what 'handle' are you using now Glenn?") "M" and a
few others...what I found was the most caring, calming, nicest people you would ever want to meet, and I DID! Soooo, a few months later I hopped on a
train and was greeted (in the dead of the night I might add) by David K. and his daughter Sarah (who greeted me with a HUGE HUG) Love you
Sarah!.....From there I've met many people that I hope to know forever....kind, caring, amusing people....even (you know who "Jeans" .........we laugh now)
That trip, the first BBBB, and the trip after, cemented my already love for Baja, there is nowhere in the world where you meet nicer folks.
Brendan and I are going exploring in Baja next month (be there awhile, we have to be back for his birthday 6 Aug.....give a honk to a gray/green
4Runner with Wa. State plates, not hard to spot.....old woman driving with young blond son in co-pilot seat

The people who love Baja are as interesting as Baja itself. That is what promted me to have annual Viva Baja parties and M to have BBBB parties... so
we who have Baja Fever can associate and know we are not weird or strange because we love a peninsula!
I did host a chat room called 'gobaja' on TalkCity.com before 9/11/01 when war changed how we spent evenings. That was fun, and we had some great
conversations.
More than friends, many of the Baja loving people I have met are like family. I am closer to more of you folks than what little family I have left
alive.
My first Internet friend is Baja Mur and just yesterday he talked with me nearly an hour by cell phone as he was driving from Arizona to California
(to pick up fishing buddies for a Baja trip), just to chat about life and stuff. Since our trip to Mision Santa Maria in May, 1999 we have been Baja
Blood Brothers. We both took spills of our dirt bikes/quads climbing the 'widowmaker' grade, shedding blood on the rocks.
Anyway, Thank you Baja Amigos and Baja Nomads for great times in the past and great times to come!
If you would like to meet Baja loving people, start by introducing yourself here on Nomad... You will be included in invitations to camping, fishing,
or exploring trips... You won't regret it. See http://vivabaja.com/204 for a fun camping and exploring weekend. http://vivabaja.com/404 was with new amigo 'jide' who I met before sunrise when I picked him up on my way to Baja... I look forward to future
trips with him. The wine and cheese was great, too! I can't say it enough, some of the greatest people are readers of Baja Nomad.
