Wonderful trip report. Such good writing and the pictures, amazing!
Having been to many of the same places this winter, I can attest to the accuracy of your reporting. I will bookmark and return to the wonderful
travelogue.
Thank you again for sharing this wonderful adventure with us.

Msfish and I had the same reaction to the food at Rice and Beans, ho, hum, and no internet.
There is so much wonderful food in Baja, it is a shame to waste even one meal on mediocre food. I really appreciate such detailed reviews.

What a great trip report.
Can't wait to get to Campo Rene again.
Hopefully I will get to Gonzaga this fall.
Keep up the great work.

Wonderfuly written! Great story! Awesome pictures! In the end, it's not why we write or even what we write about, but that we DO write. Sometimes
sharing the story is almost as fun as creating it in the first place. Thanks for taking me down those dusty roads and to those far away coast lines.

That was a wonderful story, and the photos took me right back to last October when I was in the area. Thanks for sharing your good times with us.
There is so much exploring to be done! And what a nice surprise to discover you are not a spring chicken (as I had assumed from your prior posts), but
rather an older hen...but probably not as old as me, since I'm in the stewing chicken range! Thanks, Diane

Jose and his older son were working away on the roof of the mission. It really was nice to see that the family is once again taking care of things---I
remember when you wrote about them being stopped. It is one of the places to which we really owe you a big THANK YOU---we might have never gone
that way.

That's great... and it is my pleasure that you enjoyed a place that I did as well... The really big thanks must go to DOUG (BAJA NOMAD) for
maintaining this site that we all enjoy so much!
Support Doug's efforts by clicking on the ads, buying your insurance from bajabound.com, and shopping the Nomad Tienda... Does everyone have a Baja
Nomad shirt???
Here's Jose and family in July, 2003...

Great family shots... How fun to see the kids grow up!
The oldest daughter (Brisa) I believe is married now...?
Here she is with Sarah in '03...
Diane, you can edit away all the 'listings' of edits from before... that way just one edit line will remain.

Sorry, but I know Jose Gerardo (father) and Brisa... but don't recall the others...
Here is the son in 2001 when he made the cover of this bi-lingual magazine about the Camino Real and missions in Baja California...

It was so nice to see pics of our old friends at the San Borja mission...Sirena is Brisa´s good amiga and I look forward to seeing her baby...the
youngest daughter is Noni and a real character indeed.The donations are really important to maintain the area and their family. We always bring things
like coffee, sugar, milk, tea etc. and of course goodies for the kids...this family always invites people into their home and serves them drinks and
food and they really need the financial help the donations provide.

Here is a picture of our guide last year. He indicated he lived there with his family. His name was Angel. Is this the son? Looks a little
different. He spoke good english and was very friendly.
By the way in the photo he is showing us his grandfather's gravesite.

Okay, we have Brisa & Noni, what about the two boys? How about the mama (Sra. Gerardo)?

We are friendly and like meeting and talking with people, but we are not terribly social. Perhaps we are simply curious Baja snoops.

So thats what we are called, Baja Snoops. Your report has inspired us to slow down and get off the road more. Thanks Diane!

Diane, when you posted this report we were getting ready to go north, and the words "very long" discouraged me from even peeking. By chance this
evening I stumbled on it, and have spent some time reading and looking at pictures. Very definitely my good fortune! Thank you so much for all of
your work in showing and telling-- never again will I find myself "too busy" to experience your travels. If you come toLoreto, I hope that Don and I
will be lucky enough to meet you and John-- let us know when you'll be here, and we'll be at your disposal--
Paula
