Valentine's day in gringolandia is only good until around the 6th grade.
A country that bases its communications on one of the romance languages is the place you're going to get feedback on this.
I took a box of homemade white chocolate dipped strawberries into the restaurant of a blue-hair Canadian lady in Barra de Navidad and had a hell of a
time escaping -- much to the screaming laughter of my kids.

Valentines Day is a big deal here...Dia de Amor Y Ammistad..so for friendship too, not just for lovers. Everyone you meet all day gives you a hug and
a handshake and says Feliz Dia and lots of chocolate and fake flowers are given.
We spend the day lovin on gray whales at the lagoon and the staff decorate the restaurant and have a special meal and some music and dancing usually.
A couple years ago, we found a whale that had a beautiful heart shaped scar on her side and named her Valentina!

Great story about the whale Shari. Spread the love guys and gals!! I am acutely aware of our limited life on this planet, so enjoy and savor every
last minute. Heading out tomorrow to see fellow Nomad Dick Kashey who worked very hard to enjoy his retirement in Baja, only to be cut short by a
devastating illness. Good news he has recovered well enough to get out of the hospital for a few weeks and will spend them with friends. Make those
loved ones a priority this Valentines' Day. It will help your health and theirs.

Call him again David. He said as of yesterday you didn't call him but with the way he is feeling he might have missed your call. Call midday and he
should answer his phone. From what his friend told me, he's not using the computer much if at all. | Quote: | Originally posted by David K

We are on a beach south of Mulege. It's fun to watch the traffic on the road as they see the hearts and slow down. Often the truckers will blow
their horns in appreciation of our "beach love". At Christmas, we do lighted cactus trees with a panorama of lights.
Canadian, eh!!!

This sounds lovely! I'm planning to be there Friday. What time will you be going out? Will you have room for another passenger?

On the beaches south of Mulege, the only time we see them is when they come to collect for their "Christmas party"!!! Cops in full dress uniform
with sidearms...how could we refuse to donate????? Had a motor stolen, reported it to Federales, promised to visit the "crime scene"... never
came!!!
