you know Toners, I never heard the expression that Mexico teaches you patience but IT DOES. It most certainly does.

BTW some friends of yours from Mulege were here the other day: Benjamin and Lynette. They are so nice ! They brought some really neat friends from Australia with them .... unfortunately, I was sick most of the time and the days went by in a daze, but they were great about taking care of themselves !! They had dinner with Joaquin .... but we had bad luck with a fishing captain who simply did not show up at the beach. Good guy but we will NEVER use his services again, that's for sure !!

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

Blanca,
Ben and Lynette rented the casita across from me a couple of years ago. Great people! He is a good fisherman too. Too bad the captain didn't show up. Are they headed for Mulege?

I hope you are feeling better now.

Maybe it is the same thing, Chino is all inclusive?


Years past in China and most of Asia all Europeans were called "Englishmen"

Are you kidding? I won't even eat Sushi...or whatever the correct word is. It should be on fish hooks.

I've heard more than once that China has the worst Chinese food in the world.
It's hard to beat California for avant garde foods and methods.


I've been to China, and the food is different than the Western interpretation of Chinese food. One of the hardest things to get used to is that they serve the same things in the morning as they do for lunch and/or dinner. Also, they cut the chicken bones diagonally which changes the whole dish. They serve stuff that seemed weird to me such as frog soup. We have an ethnic Chinese neighborhood here in Sacramento, and their food is similar to what they serve in China. Again, it's different than our interpretation of Chines food. There is only Chinese writing and only Chinese people eating there. I try to go there as often as I can.
