Loreto in the Past!!


The bumpy streets, the quiet pace,
The calm content on every face.

The roosters crowing day and night,
Not one is heeding dark or light.

Profuse array of stars hang low,
Create an awe-inspiring show.

The sun is brighter, air more clear,
And when i hold my breath I hear,

The sound of living all around,
a Laughing child, a barking hound.

The spark'king sea forgets to roar
as it caresses rock and shore.

Silv'ry fish go chittering by
Frigates and gulls command the sky,

Pelicans dive and sardines run
to them it's life to us it's fun.

Fisheman leave at early light
Returning home before it's night,

Happy faces weathered and tan,
knowing here, a man is a man.

Sands of desert and beach combine
with lava from some past time

Cactus and palms side by side
and climbing blossoms try to hide

Among the branches, leaves and thorn
Splashing brightness, color of corn.

Palo Blanco, graceful Pitaiya
Cirio, Cardon, Tree of Fire.

God let imagination soar
when He designed this desert floor,

And , hopefully, someday you'll find
with sham and pretense left behind,

What seems like desert up ahead
is lush oasis instead.

Your very special secret place
where you, yourself come face to face.

And when you do, you'll almost see
some part of what it means to me--

Loreto's Past

SH 1979


with lave rock from some past time,
Cactus and palms grow side by side
and climbing blossoms try to hide

The roof patio on top of our casita in Todos Santos.

We watch the sunset almost every night. Green and blue flashes almost every day for the last two weeks...

The cove in the photo is on Isla Partida, Ensenada Grande. Not a nice place to be during a Norther. Across the water is Bahia Coyote/Punta el Mechudo area.

Mike's after a long/ hard ride. Best in the dark with no fuel left. Rain and/or snow helps.

Also the entire area around Catavina.

Our place on Calle Zapata in Loreto is hard to beat,but Bob and Marilyn's place (or is her name Jane?) is really nice too.

La Sierra de San Francisco is AMAZING!!!!! And Comundu es muy bonita. The plaza in SanIgnacio is a delight, and the back yard at Casa Leree is so beautifully full of spirits, it may be truly sacred ground. And there is the beach at Coronados, crowded though it may be, and Playa Ensenada Blanca, which I hope we will be able to go to forever, and Balandra in La Paz, especially when the tide is low, and that place between Loreto and Mulege with the pictographs, and SAN JUANICO!!!!

Favorite??? You must be kidding....
