Really appreciate the time you took to put this report together.
Also really appreciate your honesty on the businesses you encountered.
My favorite part was the osprey telenovela.

What a pleasure that was ! A perfect mix of beautiful photos and a travelogue, and not too wordy at all.
Next time take a longer trip would you. I was sorry the story ended.
The only time I paused was to dry off my keyboard. "Sky blue pink". I could hear my own grandpa saying something like that.

Diane,
Thank you. May I, with your permission, save a few photos for my desktop? Some for motivation and some that bring back good memories.

Wow! What a narrative.
I enjoyed your report very much Diane both for it's completeness and for it's honesty.
I have to agree with you about rice and beans. It was widely touted at the old amigos board but I could never understand why.
I wanted to ask you what was your favorite part of the journey. To me it seemed as though the trip to San Borja was the highlight. Regardless, it's on
my list of must-see places in baja, both for the desert and that beautiful building.
It appears that your knee healed up well enough for the journey.

What a Wonderfull Travelogue. You did an excellent job capturing the essence of Baja. Your photo's were pleasing and satisfying, capturing flora,
fauna, people, places and vistas. Simply, a pleasure to ride along with you and John

Excellent is an oft used work but in this case so true. Thanks

Trotter,
Your special report is remarkable to me for what "didn't happen". Your style of travel speaks volumns about how you live your lives. Not too cheap
to splurg on a good meal or a nice room, not too picky or proud to lay your head down in Spartan digs, not in so much of a hurry to see the next
attraction that you trade the destination for the journey. You leave yourself enough time to turn over the small rocks of adventure, don't let mobs
slow you down or turn up your temperature. You trade the company of your mascots for the constant need to accomodate them, you plan your trip in a
way that assures you can share it with others when you return home. You set the perfect example for other Baja travelers on this board.

Absolutely amazing report !!
Thank you so much for sharing.
And thank you very much for logging me off in Mulege'.
Good thing Bruce or Pompano didn't find it or I would have been gagged for sure !!
I pulled into Asuncion the night before you left. I came to meet you the next morning but apparently you left early and I was not quick enough. Maybe
next year !.

Diane,
I too didn't want you report to end. The photos weaved into the story line were great.
Come on being retired why not turn those trips into 4 weeks or more.
Looking forward to your next trip.
Thanks again
Ken

I actually printed out Diane's trip report (66 pages) because it is the one of best trip reports I have read on Nomad... rivels the family from
Vermont's report... It easily could become a book!
Osprey's reply is how I feel, as well... The true Baja traveler takes the good with the bad. Being a good Nomad, Diane reported back to us on both!
It is great that we have another Baja Nomad on the peninsula operating a tourist business... Juan and Shari's places at Asuncion and San Roque. The
reports coming back in from Nomads who go there make Bahia Asuncion a place of interest.
I was surprised by what she found at Ricardo's Rice & Beans... In Dec., 2001 we stayed there one night and the food was good, margarita was good
and the room was good... 5 years can change things. I did stay at the Posada in 1985 and liked it, a lot... a simpler place that fits into San Ignacio
better... A town where you must stay and soak in the atmosphere.
I liked the picture of Jose on the roof (?) of Mision San Borja... That is a great place and Jose and his family are wonderful! I am so happy that
priest of Guerrero Negro allowed Jose to once again enter mission grounds (even though he is not Catholic) to show off the place.
Thanks Diane and John for sharing your Baja adventure with us... the story and photos were outstanding!!!
