The Perfect Baja Day.
yesterday was a perfect baja day. According to the internet it was supposed to blow hard...but when we woke up to a wonderful calm clear sky with no
wind....we packed up a couple chairs, cooler, treats, a blanket, and headed to our secret beach.
As I lay prone in the sand with the sun warming my buns, a gentle silky breeze caressing my back...I was smiling gently or perhaps grinning foolishly
at my good fortune to live here so I can enjoy these days whenever I please...reflecting on how magical it is to have an enormous sandy beach to
yourself...with absolutely NO noise except for surf and seagulls (with occasional gurgling of Juan sipping tecate).
After who knows how long of sunning, reading, playing in the surf, napping, making out, more swimming....it was time to cook the croakers Juan had
caught that morning. Our secret spot has lots of firewood...excellent manzanita wood...so I flashed up the fire in a minute and threw 3 nice croakers
on...one for each of us....Shami dog helped catch the fish too! They were scrumptious just on the grill with lime and mayo....a simple meal on the
perfect baja sunday.

Darn it Shari! When I scrolled down to see the photo I expected to see Juan in all his thong glory. You had to go and spoil it all with a t-shirt
shot. Geeezo.
P<*)))>{
ps. Thanks for sharing. Wishing I were there.
edit: can't spell worth a darn when I'm all worked up!

Now Paulina...dont you be going and instigating trouble here...remember the last time I posted a thong photo...whew...thought I was gonna be
banned...well, use your imagination for below the t-shirt...remember, he was surf fishing up to his.....ummm.....cajones.
Last evening as the gang was sitting around our palapa, eating sashimi from the fish they just caught, watching lots of whales pass by at
sunset....the three amigos who fished together yesterday, Timo, John and Kevin all said the yesterday was the PERFECT day...lovely, warm, light
breeze, calm seas, full cooler of tecate, 4 great buds in Juan's panga, yellowtail jumping in the boat, Juan preparing lobster ceviche for lunch on
the high seas, no women around....yep...another perfect day.
and here are the 3 happy fellows....sorry sharkie!

I don't know...today Gabriel and I went for a run at Torrey Pines in 80 degree weather with Catalina Island in full view...amazing! I love Asuncion
but San Diego ain't half bad either.

She'll let you have it, but you have to show up in person to get it!
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Shari, thanks for this post.
That feeling of baja perfection comes from the gut. It's hard to explain it other than something that starts deep down inside and gives me the biggest
sh*t eating grin as it moves on up to register in my brain that I'm where I belong, where life is as it should be.
Ok, gotta go count how many more sleeps till I get to be in that place again.

Not only Catalina but San Clemente too (very rare sighting).
I took a spin up to Mount Soledad today for lunch, both Islands were clear as ever...
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

If I could afford to live on the beach in San Diego I might agree with you. I doubt that I could even afford the property taxes...

We get those kinds of days here in No. Ca. all the time. Well, except that it is really cold and windy, there is no beach access without a long walk
or paying for parking, we don't catch any fish, you're not allowed to have fires, no bottles, no camping, and stuff like that. Other than that, it's
just the same.

I know what you mean. I saw some old photos of the Point Loma area around 1920 and it reminded me of the same thing...
