Dinner at Brian & Althea's with Don & Joyce.....with my favorite (one of my favorites) Pineapple Upside Cake....thanks, Althea.
....a Sunday afternoon of Jazz selections with Dalene Jones.........
Trekking a bit to the East Cape to the small (almost ghost) town of El Triunfo, you can get a sense of what Baja California was like during the 19th century silver-mining boom. Watching out for and snapping pictures of the friendly cows, burrows, horses and some of the other 100 land mammals that live wherever they choose is as enjoyable as the destination itself.
Close by is Bahia De La Ventana, a windsurfing, kiteboarding, scuba diving, sports enthusiasts, and beach-goers paradise. This area was once a quiet little fishing village until wind surfers, in the 1990's discovered it had perfect conditions (lots of ideal wind) for their adventurous activities. It remains relatively underdeveloped but ..... the boom is on the cusp. Kiteboarders say this area is the best place in the world to learn the sport. When we visited, it was pretty spectacular watching all the activities.
Crazy friends having lunch in Todos Santos
Art & Beer is a fun place just south of Pescadero. The owners had a thank you party for their patrons with free drinks and appetizers....naturally many people show up! Below are old and new friends...and Alfredo, owner of Art & Beer.
Marina is 15 ...... when Mexican girls turn 15 they get a big party (Quinceañera). It happened in December and what a party it was!
This is but a few "happenings" in my life from November-December 09 in the Baja. Time flies and I don't get a chance to keep up regularly.
