You described those important things so very well--I agree with them all.
Right now, we travel between two worlds, both of which we like very much. Sometimes it is like being in a time machine. We travel back and forth
about every month or six weeks, with more time in Baja than Imperial Beach at this point in our lives. And, it is the people of Bahia Asuncion that
keep us there longer.
So we often don't think about what we are missing at either end---we just enjoy what each world has to offer. We want to keep both even if we don't
spend as much time at either location.
We need to get moving again and travel the mainland, get back to Central America and we have only traveled in two countries in South America. I still
need to see tierra del fuego. And there is a longer list just waiting for a little improvement in the economy.
We feel fortunate to be living two different lives---it works for us very well right now. What our next adventure will be, we do not know, but for
us, change keeps us going.
Now, if you ask our dogs, there is no question. They miss running free through the dunes and on the beach. They miss the dry land walks on the dirt
roads with no leash.

Thanks in Revese
I really love the sharing and the kind compliments.
I believe that Baja Time heals our souls.

Mood: Missing Baja

You all make me miss it even more: the ocean, the people, the friendliness, the food, the smell of the food on the street, the courtesies, the
language, the smiles, the hugs, the stars that seem brighter in the skies over the water, the sounds of the water truck, the gas truck, the neighbor
kids passing by on their way to school, the ladies hanging their laundry outside, the dogs (do I really miss the barking dogs??) yes - I miss it all.
I am so jealous of you who can go back and forth more often. What a wonderful place. Those who only read about the violence on the news have no idea
what dear, sincere people live there and really care about each other.
