Don & Linda, welcome to the wonderful world of Baja home building. Those wonderful photos of the 'Before' part will thrill you for many years to
come.
I wish I had given you a copy of my old favorite book of Baja building. "God and Mr. Gomez". This light-hearted read will keep you smiling...and
comparing notes!
Buena suerte, amigos.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

God and Mr. Gomez
Pompano.....you are right about that book. I bought it after someone recommending it. I think it was from the Nomad site awhile back. Thanks for
considering us with that. I need to get it out and read it again!

wow... great trip report! we are so glad you arrived safely and are enjoying your new venture.
On behalf of Shipwreck Sarah and myself, we thank you for taking the time to pick up her care package from Jordan. Not everyone would go into
Hollywood to do that for someone they've never met...you are true Nomads who go above and beyond the call of duty.We also thank the honourable
Sr.Pompano for providing the second leg of the package journey. It was a great excuse to finally meet this legendary baja character who's hospitality
is outstanding. We really enjoyed his tales of daring do! Leg 3 of the Package's trip to baja was completed last night and this morning was fun
watching Sarah open her presents of books, chocolate, tea, photos of her boat and loved ones, and most important the unmentionables! Mil gracias
amigos...Via con dios!

Worst area of rocks. At least the holes are all dug in that area. May get wire up tomorrow.

This is a really fun post! Has a little bit of everything in it.

What I did on my summer vacation: dug holes and ate a taco.
Seems like you just got here and now you're rushing off. I guess a person can only stand so much fun.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Rub it in BMG!  Sure would stay longer but the old job acallin'. Back in
June for another stint. Will have a group of high school young people. Will be a different sort of work on that trip.
At least I got to see a section of the fence up before we left this afternoon. This was the section we did this morning.
Was delighted that we had the appropriate colors to fly out of La Paz in this afternoon! Don't know if I could have boarded the plane if it was green
and yellow!
Sitting in the Alaska teminal at LAX and 31B is my doorway home.
Back in June!
Thank you everyone for your interest in our trip report as boring as it may have been at times. It was my first experience at this and was a
challenge at times. It was nice to meet 3 Nomad folks who added alot to our trip experience.
