Hello, I'm a Nomad and I didn't even know it
I thought I was keeping track, but got distracted about how to balance and reply to Baja gringo/well meaning people as opposed to gringo/P-nche
distinctions.
WTF, I can't sort it out, I like that the forum rolls on its on, with the good spirited engaging in full-on punching matches in the ring with the mean
spirited, along with a fair sprinkling of the crazy, obsessive and indifferent-to-turmoil- just-want-to-surf-and-fish-and -tell-lies-about-it-all
contingent. *Cough, sorry, edit, I meant to say "tell stories"*
The dos, the wannabes, the tourists, the dive-in-headfirsts, the serious scientists that give their all to discovering, cataloging and recording; we
all find something spiritual, passionate and rewarding about the place.
Baja is our refuge and where we find our "realest" selves.
Cheers to all. (Glass of champagne and

Hey Hey Gypsy Jan! Way to go!
I just became a nomad too!
(Sheesh... this sounds almost like an AA meeting: Hello, I'm bajaandy and I'm a Baja Nomad.)
But I raise my glass in toast to you and alll the other nomads.
See you in the Baja.

You go girl!! I am honored to be a Nomad of some ilk because it brings me just that much closer to my beloved Baja, esp. BOLA, when I am soooo far
away. Reading the content of the various posts reminds me of the saying "You gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince" I learn something new almost
every day but have to be willing to deal with the chaff that comes with the wheat. How is that for mixing the old metaphors.
