Help a Gypsy Out


Ok my fellow Nomad's, once again this sad Gypsy is asking for help.

You see it is a sad sad fact that we are in the middle of a deep freeze. I'm serious here, it is -37 degrees celsius, and with the wind it is currently -50 degrees celsius. It is suppose to stay this way all week.

Mr Gypsy and I made the decision not to send the kids to school as it is just way to cold.

So I'm asking, no I'm begging you to post your most wonderful Baja pictures, to get me through this horrid weather!

Please, I am begging:biggrin:

Thanks Diane, that is in San Roque correct?

I love the pink in the sky and how it reflects on the water and the plant life.

Dear "Frozen In Toontown..."


Here's some warm waters for you to thaw out in...and a Burros Beach get-together. Bring some Pilsner.

Gypsy,

Bahia in August. Imagine yourself in 110 degrees with the sun directly overhead. There's a "cooling" breeze blowing off of the Sea of Cortez, and hot blazingly hot it is to have to walk from the shade to the panga to get retrieve your fish.



The whale sharks are there in the warmer months to help take your mind off of how hot it is.



If you want to cool off you could always jump in and go for a ride.



It's too hot for dancing unless you want to do the "clam dance" for dinner. Shuffle your toes in the soft sand until you find one.



And a nice cold Tecate sure tastes good on a hot baja day.



P<*)))><

Hey neighbor,

Real cold snap we are having---only in the 60s, but at least the rain has stopped. :lol::lol:



Now back to your other home.

Bajagypsy, Having spent a few winters in the high country of northern Idaho, winters not as bad as this one, you've got my sympathy. :)Spring is only a couple months away.:) Hang in there!:tumble:
