Welcome! I have a rather small recommendation for you based on your understanding of time...............Do not attempt to apply the time you grew up with upon the Mexican culture..........slow down and get to know the Mexican folks.......nothing greater than a true Mexican smile because it always lights up their eyes and comes from the heart. Learn this most simple, but difficult, thing and you will be rewarding yourself with a far greater understanding of your new environment and laughter will be a far greater part of your day.

I would suggest that you get the three books I have written on Baja---but then a few of my fellow Nomads would scream........foul!

Check out www.mibaja.com

You will find that screaming is part of the scene here every now and then.
jejejejejejejejejejejeje (if you don't recognize it the proceeding was Spanish)

I just have this, honest, powerful desire to share 'mi Baja' with the younger folks who will never be allowed to see it because so much of it is gone.

You can rest easy because I have decided that three books about Baja is enough for me.

I plan to continue to write because I enjoy it so. In the future I will address my attention to San Diego County from about 1850 to 1940. A most interesting period that I became a little more familar with as I did my research on parts of Baja that had disappeared even before I started visiting.

Thanks, Bernie ---- for helping keep the memories alive. In many cases, that's the best part of Baja, what it was.
San Diego as subject matter ..... That should keep you busy.

Later ...... Dennis
