I keep hearing what's wrong with Baja. Lets talk about what's right about Baja!


The coastline is 2nd only to Colombia's. The food is the best in the world. The air is clean. There are so many places to visit and discover. That's what I see is right about Baja.

Baja has made me feel like I belong here. I have lived and worked on many different parts of this planet but I couldn't imagine living anywhere else now...

Ceviche!


Although the Peruvians invented Ceviche, it actually tastes 100x better when in Baja!

The effects of recent yesterday's aroma therapy left me contemplative;

On the one hand, I feel bound to reply to a post that beckons "What is right about Baja ?".
On the other hand, I feel resistant to join in "Ken's" post after reading his recent attempts at immature humour, childish taunting and ridiculous insults in off-topic.
On another hand, is any post really the property of the poster ?
And on yet another hand, does any of it really matter ?
And yet further on, are we living in a "tiny" fishbowl managed by a giant ?
Hmmmm..........

I know what I like about Baja and why I love the place.
It's an inside feeling ...... well, and an outside feeling ..... and .... well, you know. :biggrin: :cool:

Humble and hard working. Priorities and simple values.

Wide open deserts, beaches and mountains, the stars and the sky.

Refreshing and revealing, it soothes this savage beast.

Baja has been good to me...it gave me my precious Sirenita and a katrillion other wonderful meaningful things...taught me to be a better human being..taught me patience and understanding and how to make good tortillas! It is in my heart soul and I couldn't dream of living anywhere else....oh yeah...dogs dont have to be on leashes!

The shade found

the barren desert reveals an oasis.
the shade found, has been found before.

signs on a rock, markings of the past.
not the first, not the last.

life scurries on, stars rise
mysterious magic, found again.

All the different descriptions are great, but there's still something about Baja that we can't quite descr?ibe in words....isn't there?...I mean, I just thought I could sit down and describe how baja has influenced my life and sat down at the computer and didn't know where to start...I was overrun with images, and feelings, and memories...where do we start?

"We're just two lost souls living in a fishbowl, year after year", wish i was there. If you know what song that is, you're dating yourself, hee hee jee jee, Baja rox. My worst day of fishing was better than my best day of working, old cliche but still works. I think that those of you who are a bit ornery right now just haven't had a Baja fix lately. I've been back home for a week and I'm crashing, need to go back.
