A Walk in Mi Barrio
A walk in my Ensenada neighborhood is always interesting for me. First I see each morning is the Paulownia Tree in glorious bloom:
Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

From a block away I smell the chocolate from the fountain. We can have bananas or marshmallows covered in chocolate and rolled in an assortment of
nuts and candies.

The Neveria offers my favorite palletas de pina and a place for some to rest.
Despite what HoseA implied about my age - this is NOT me!

Paulina... I KNOW you have lots of fun photos from your time in Baja even if you're not there today. I'd love to see you post some of 'em.
And yeah, Igor, I'm having a real good time - and vastly improving my language skills. At last I'm begun to stop translating in my head and begin
actually thinking in espanol... and I'm ever so proud of that! And you also - how about posting a couple of your favorite shots?

Not so odd coincidence...water problems in our barrio too.
Dishes are still dirty in sink..quail are waiting for their overdue morning sip..and worst of all, no hot shower for yours truly....

All right let's test you:
(1) How fast can you say:
Pancha plancha con cuatras planchas. Con cuantas planchas plancha Pancha?
(2) You can practice your vowels with this one:
A, e, i, o, u
el burro sabe mas que tu
(3) Identify a well known mexican spider 'arana culogrande'

I will if you promise to say something nice about them.

Natalie Ann,
Love the photo essay. Here's a shot of a beautiful flowered wall in Tecate while waiting to cross the border.

Hi Natalie...nice thread about walking in your barrio
I took a hike earlier this morning up the coast road overlooking Coyote camping beach. The photo below shows what it looks like today. I will post
some more from the same overlook as the Easter crowds arrive. A good 'before and after' series for you.

Bob H - That outhouse might have been nice during our waterless days. Also I
love the Guadalupe Valley shot - those pots create such an unusual foreground for the tierra hermosa. Wonderful photos - thanks!
Pompano - I'll look forward to seeing Coyote become filled with people and their celebrations. Please do continue to keep us posted.

Igor....
Planchar... well, I've learned to stop volunteering to iron.
And do you know the word in espanol for 'ironing board'? Laughed myself silly when I learned it.
'arana culogrande'... don't suppose that translates to 'one big friggin' spider'?
And yes, I will say nice things about your photos... don't I always do so?!

Another from A Walk in Mi Barrio...'Jake's Place'
(Dean Miller..as Jake was in your family, this is especially for you.)
Jake was /is one of many Baja early americano figures. I knew him since the first day I arrived in the Bay..and there is no chance I will ever
forget him. We had some times!!
Here is a photo taken this morning of Jake's Place on the hillside overlooking Coyote Bay.
Since Jake's passing, his friend Steve is residing there and keeping up their common love of Baja. Jake and Steve also had bikes in common...Jake
riding his BMW many times around the continent, while Steve 'peddles' his almost daily back and forth to Mulege..about a 35 mile round trip. This
hombre has stamina plus!
Rest in peace, Jake. Welcome, Steve.
