1/28… Clambake!

According to The Traveler’s Guide to Camping Mexico’s Baja, the Playa Escondida campground  on Bahia Concepcion (tent camping, no showers, no running water, inexpensive): “This small isolated beach is picture perfect.  There is a row of palapas along the water.  Outhouses are on the hillside behind.  The road in to this beach is rough, we …

I ordered a Tecate, logged in, and began to check …

Hello, 2014…

The wind from the Sea of Cortez seems to pause just at dawn here, allowing the birdsongs to carry a little further and let me know about the imminent sunrise.  I get up and poke my nose out of the tent, and note the temperature, feels like 50 degrees or so, just enough to make …
