Thanks again Paulina. She is a wonderful writer. Must have got it from her mother. I particularly like this description of PSFO she wrote:
"The whole place is like life strained down to its simplest and most wonderful elements...sea, sky and sand. Sun, stars and moon."

I read it years ago Ken, and you never need to apologize for reposting it... IMHO
There are hundreds of new Nomads (or more) who have not read it or seen the link the last time it was posted...
I thank you!

A very true statement, unfortunately it seems like Baja is the one changing right in front of our eyes. She's not giving us a chance to get old and
visit our favorite places as many times as we can before our clocks wear out.
Is it one of those questions we ask ourselves when we see our children grow? Are they getting older, while we stay the same? Is Baja getting older and
changing, but we're not?
I feel that way, but maybe it's only me.
Now if any of that made sense, I'll be surprised.
That was a wonderful story Ken. Coleen is a gifted writer, that is for certain.

Paulina I've been reading and re-reading what you said here and the more I read it the more profound it gets. I feel the same way, like I am staying
constant and everything else is changing. Maybe that's because, as we get older, each increment of time becomes a smaller percentage of our lifetime.
I still see great passages in my kid's and grandkid's lives, but I feel like I am staying constant. I think that's why it was so satisfying to find
that PSFO was still pretty much the way we remembered it when we made that trip seven years ago. ++Ken++

"There are a lot of guys named Jose"
I think this was Jose who worked for Genaro when I first visited in 1989. He was a great guy and kind of the social director.
As soon as you landed he would drive an old beat-up van out to your plane and drive you to your palapa that was only about 50 feet away. In the
evenings he would play guitar and sing while sitting on the beach wall of the bar. One dark evening he stopped playing abruptly and grabbed a fishing
pole, ran to the waters edge and came back a minute later with a good size yellow tail. He had us snacking on sashimi and grilled yellow tail in an
instant and then went back to playing his guitar.
I returned to San Francisquito 15 years later and asked Genaro about Jose. He looked a little bewildered and said "there are a lot guys guys named
Jose". RIP Genaro
