Hasta La Vista!


Had to cut my trip to Asuncion in half due to health problems and emergencies on the home front.

We had a good time in Asuncion and met many new Baja amigos. Thoroughly enjoyed the many fine get-togethers and also the quiet & peaceful nature of the village.

Sunsets and beachcombing were a huge plus. Wind and dust were a huge minus!

Surf fishing is usually good, although my timing was bad. Offshore fishing in April is not so good, as the water is too cold. Of course, that makes for lots of quality reading time on a patio lounge or cozy sofa, or some popcorn-and-a-movie nights. Oh yeah, we watched a ton of videos.

The broken pavement is what it is, and one can and should take precautions. Simple fix.

So...There are many good reasons to visit this place on the Pacific, and those far outweigh the bad. It's old-time Baja ...and that's very okay.

I'll be back someday...when the water is a mite warmer and the fish are jumping in Juan's panga.

ADIOS TO A SPECIAL PLACE!





I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Glad you enjoyed yourself...each season offers different opportunities. Family and I are counting the weeks until our summer trip....safe travels.

Sorry your trip is cut short and do hope you will return. This is definitely the windy season in Bahia Asuncion --- and not the fishing season. It is often a good time to explore the surrounding desert as the climate is very different there.

So you can return at a different time of the year, do get that BP down and all of your health returned, and I hope the other emergencies are not so difficult.

Thank you for all of your reports!
