Pompano, the picture of the old barber chair is, I think, from Main street or Obregon as you enter town. There used to be this barber that ran that
shop that had the worst shaking hands I have ever seen. I needed a quick haircut and stopped there one day years ago and he did pretty good when he
could stop the shaking long enough to cut, but when he came at me with the straightedge and wanted to shave me, I jumped out the the chair, tried not
to scream, and paid him a little extra to not do anything more.

Interesting about the Pemex stations. I had been previously warned about the Guerrero Negro stations. Too bad the crook has tentacles that roam so
far. I do really think of Santa Rosalia as unique. Unfortunately for the folks who live there, it does not have broad sandy beaches that would
possibly make it a destination resort. Or for the better, their little piece of heaven remains relatively intact.

You're allowed to not like it. |
Absolutely---the diversity in Baja-- something for everyone.
We love Santa Rosalia, and love this tour of the town.
Baja, nor Bajanomads, can be painted with one brush.

Pescador...that must have been my fellow, for sure. Those shaking hands convinced me that IF he was allowed to shave me, it would
only be with a safey razor. It made me laugh at the time, because he reminded me so much of an old barber I go to near my hunting
place in North Dakota.
Only this ND barber, Hank, is 80, steady as a rock...and has a prankish sense of humor.
He puts the 'willies' into newcomers to his old-style barber shop when he misses/hits his strop a few licks with a razor, then shuffles toward the
chair, shaking his straight-edge wildly and mumbling..."let's give this another try.."
Hank's not too worried about building up his clientele. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Roger,
Thanks for the pics. I miss all you fellas at the poker table. And most of all the fishing, and the cold beer, and the fish tacos, and the warm
weather, and the great people. I hate this work crap.
Can't wait to get back, keep posting those pictures.
Scott

Hi Scott, good to see you posting here..and welcome to Baja Nomads. You will see folks you will recognize, so jump in and get your feet wet. I could
post a photo of our poker group, but some are still on post office walls up north.
Work? Hey, you're a good enough poker player to go on tour..then go fishing, eat those tacos, and drink the cold beer in the warm Baja sun. Say
hello to your charming wife and see you back here soon.
BTW, I am boat-researching at the moment and a Triumph CC, like yours, is on my top 10 list. Because I intend to roam and tow the boat behind my
Dodge 3500 & 32' 5th Wheel, I am limited to 17'-19' boats. Where I am going, length restrictions say overall length of rig shall not exceed 75'.
Here's a nice 19' Triump. I like the unsinkable part.. You take good
care up there, Scott.
.
.
And now back to Santa Rosalia stuff..ah, smell those Boleos??...mmmmm
.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

This place brings a smile to my face.
During my first trip to baja with Alex (he was 5) he kept asking me what the people at the checkpoints were looking for.
I would tell him: bad boys. 
And when they caught them they would be placed in El Cereso.
He was always on his best behavior at those stops after that.
Alas, that only worked for 2 years.

Yeah, Skipjack, and now they are saying that you will get picked up by the phanto U-haul truck with the Viejos. Now that is a scary thought.
