If you take time out of your "busy" Baja trip to photograph some beaten down old trailer like this(below). You might be a Baja Nomad (and a
REDNECK!).......proudly!

You know you're a Baja Nomad when....
you give your new Oregon born and bred duck dog a name all the neighbor kids in the Colonia can pronounce...

You might be a Nomad...
if your wallpaper is a lizard photo taken from Nomads and your passwords relate to Baja adventures

You're a baja nomad
if you can recite entire sections of 'Baja Catch' by heart.
if you visit Death Valley and find it wanting because it doesn't have enough water to look like the Sea of Cortez.
if you fall asleep each night examining your precious baja rocks .... mumbling 'Rosebaja'? <groan>.

HEY- mine is a Hummingbird and the Velvet Sunset photo - ZOE.
Beside being guilty of checking this forum many times a day.
Changed password to a mexican.
Serving tortillas on weekends.
Buy mexican beer rather then local brands ( tell you, had to cut down on consumption).
Have more mail contacts in my mailinglist from over there, then from elsewhere.
My 11 yearold nephew telling me, he wants to go where I took those great scorpion pics, and the ground shakes from volcanic actions ( after telling
him from Sharis shaketown), and fossile sharks teeth are to be found ( he is a fossile nut - Zoe?? - told him about your find), and the whales are
shaking the boats.
ALTHOUGH he has never been there - just listened to me and saw my pics.
GUESS I am a BAJA NOMAD and soon my Nephew too.
Will let him subscribe to Sirenitas site asap.

You know your in love with Mexico when along side the bottles of Tequila, dried jamaica,and bags of pinto beans, you bring home a bottle of
Fabuloso Can't buy the stuff in Canada and it brings me back everytime I walk
into the house and smell things freshly cleaned with Fabuloso!!!!
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Or on your long drive from Canada to Baja, you spend a morning having breakfast with a Nomad in Vista, at Sunrise Cafe to get some details to have
more fun by!

You might be a nomad if you go outside in your back yard every morning to:
check on the health of your 3 foot tall cirio (boojum).....
check for new flowers on the giant cardon ......
wonder if a new Baja plant will do well in that empty corner of your lot... or.....
Use the automatic checkout lane at the grocery store using the spanish menu so you can keep fresh on your Spanish...
yeah, you might be a nomad..,

Steve, please show us your transplanted boojum tree!
If you remember, I had a 'liberated' boojum cutting (a branch about a foot long, since 1984). I was able to root it, and kept in a container for 19
years... It grew a few inches. I transplanted it into a bigger pot. Most interesting was every year it would grow out the long stems and leaves and
they would drop off later... the last few years it would flower each year! I brougt it to my Viva Baja party for a show and tell.
The end happed a couple years ago when termites invaded the pot and destroyed my beloved baby boojum.

FABULOSO!!!!!!!!!!
Marie-Rose, that is priceless! For a full year I could smell what the laundry used on my clothes in Oaxaca-- it brought tears of joy to my eyes.
edit for inept typing.

If you lost three hubcaps and don't give a s...
If you notice that gringos rarely smile at each other, let alone wish you avia bien.
If you notice that norte food tastes like plastic.
If you are still afraid to drink tap water after a month back.
You still notice how soft the toilet paper is.
You find yourself talking with every Mexican you see in your bastardized
Spanish, just to try and recapture a moment.....
You laugh your ass of at Carlos Mancia cause you "get" him......
You find yourself daydreaming about how much you could sell your house for and how little it would cost to buy in.........................

Your Children may be Bajanomad's if:
- they prefer to do home work on totes on the beach
- they don't mind driving for 38 hours straight just to get to Baja
- Every time it snows in Saskatoon, they say tht it is stupid, we should move
- They still have peso's that they want to keep "for the next trip"

If you notice that your toilet paper doesn't have knotholes in it......you're probably a Nomad.

...speaking of toilet paper, you know you are a nomad if for weeks after your return home, you are looking for the garbage can to dispose of toilet
paper!!
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

You might be a nomad if
you keep looking for the other car that has the license plate you lost on the dirt road.
you carry a screwdriver in the front of the truck to reattach fallen parts as you drive.
