International Members
(besides Mexico)
I notice there is becoming a wider scope of international Nomads. Personally, I am interested in pictures of other places around the globe.
Especially from those who would have an interest in such a wild ???
place such as Baja.
Would anyone else be interested in seeing just a few photos from around the globe from members? Should I be asking Doug this question? Should I
just search if I'm so nosey?

I think that is an excellent idea JR. Since I live in Mexico, my vacations are taken elsewhere and I would love to share some of my stories and
photos with you guys.
I am on another board for one of the places in the Caribbean that we like to visit and they have a section for stories from other locations. Or if
you are going somewhere else, you can see if someone here has some local knowledge of that place.
Lets not do a poll though!

I always like to see photos and hear descriptions of places I haven't been.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing them on the general discussion board, a "Travel" forum might be better.

I'm working in Peru but I follow this board because I like to hear about what's happening in Baja.
If you are interested in the back roads (and jungle rivers) of Peru, let me know.

I think you could post a link to your website that has the photos on it . but we should keep this site focused in Baja.

Dug
exactly what I had in mind. As well as Cairo, and all parts of the world.
So far, 4 for
1 against
and 2 typical anon. posts.
If these international guys have websites, I would be interested in seeing them. If they don't, I would still be interested in seeing the pics..
Of course, Doug will have the final say. I imagine he is waiting to see how many are interested, or not.

Poppies of my Homeland
Include them pictures here in this forum. To see and read what constitutes an international Nomad would be interesting; I think it would be associated
within the theme of the BajaNomad postings. It?ll refresh the reasons why some of us has chosen to play "hide and seek"?.In Baja.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Would anyone like to sit in this front yard somewhere in the Caribbean?
This is the reason I go to the beach when I go on vacation even though I have a beautiful view of the Sea of Cortez from my house.

jrbaja...
This idea should be pushed. Create a new topic area for it. Placing stuff in off-topics, too many of us dont really go there much anymore. This would
be a simply web change to do...just re-name one of the topics that isnt really active (like camping or that eatery review). Hey BTW where the hell are
my pics?

if folks are interested, is something to give to the list in return for all the newbie stuff I'm about to ask.
So I'll tell you all about the dead rat in my car if you tell me how to get my local police to write a good conduct report for an FM3 consejero

Does it still take half a day to drive from one side of Cairo to the other? What a city!!! Welcome to Baja Nomad!

That's the same outfit
he wears on his mapmaking expeditions! Give him a break now. I hear there's going to be a new line of "Bajaguru" clothing coming out soon.

Hey, I am a Californian and wore California clothes!
It was around 90? in the day, and I was comfortable for all the walking we did.
A great drink that is popular in Egypt is called (Kar-kah-day), which is sweatened hibiscus (roselle) flower tea. The very same as Mexico's Jamaica
(Hah-my-cah) drink!

Great Idea--Wonderful that the sword didn't come out for David--Yankee--glad you identified him 'cause I was going to ask who the kid was.
David the thing on the drinks was a very interesting aside--Do you think the Arabs could have discovered Mexico first or do you just think that they
introduced it to Spain and then it, the drink, followed Cortez???
Very positive post so far. Hope it remains so.

I was in Egypt during the 6-Day War many years ago and for a while afterward. Abdullah, the camel driver, was a local who walked into our village
camp each morning with all his 15 wives dutifully trailing behind him at a required 'respectful' distance. One day, a few days after our 'war' had
ended, Abdullah walked into our camp, but had all his 15 wives fanned out ahead of him..which was not normal for him. "Hey, Abdullah," I called out.
"Have you found some enlightment?" To which he replied, "No...land mines." ....chortle...Arrgggghhhhhh
