Hello, I'm a Nomad and I didn't even know it


I thought I was keeping track, but got distracted about how to balance and reply to Baja gringo/well meaning people as opposed to gringo/P-nche distinctions.

WTF, I can't sort it out, I like that the forum rolls on its on, with the good spirited engaging in full-on punching matches in the ring with the mean spirited, along with a fair sprinkling of the crazy, obsessive and indifferent-to-turmoil- just-want-to-surf-and-fish-and -tell-lies-about-it-all contingent. *Cough, sorry, edit, I meant to say "tell stories"*

The dos, the wannabes, the tourists, the dive-in-headfirsts, the serious scientists that give their all to discovering, cataloging and recording; we all find something spiritual, passionate and rewarding about the place.

Baja is our refuge and where we find our "realest" selves.

Cheers to all. (Glass of champagne and:tumble::saint::O

Hey Hey Gypsy Jan! Way to go!
I just became a nomad too!
(Sheesh... this sounds almost like an AA meeting: Hello, I'm bajaandy and I'm a Baja Nomad.)
But I raise my glass in toast to you and alll the other nomads.
See you in the Baja.

You go girl!! I am honored to be a Nomad of some ilk because it brings me just that much closer to my beloved Baja, esp. BOLA, when I am soooo far away. Reading the content of the various posts reminds me of the saying "You gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince" I learn something new almost every day but have to be willing to deal with the chaff that comes with the wheat. How is that for mixing the old metaphors.:spingrin::yes::lol::cool:
