The world's aquarium and so much more Your love of this piece of the world shows through in your blog. Fantastic photos. Love those afternoons in the hammock.
Thanks for all the lovely feedback! I thought I'd do a little blog showcasing some of the things I get up to when I'm on the Baja. There is so much more than resorts and margaritas here!
El Burro Whisperer! Your cover was blown, lol! Lovely reading about the quieter, untouched part of Baja. I also hope it will stay that way for a long time. The popcorn ray experience must have been amazing 😊
I would love to see that! That looks so cool. It reminds me a bit of when we were in Mexico and saw whale sharks. That was before we began writing on Travelblog so you won't see any photos of that. /Ake
Whale sharks and Manta Rays and Whales give me such a thrill every time I see them. I made a trip out to Socorro Island one year for a dive and I wish I had blogged about the great whites and hammerhead sharks I saw. Jacques was right, it is the world's aquarium.
Donkeeeeeys! So many of your photos in this blog are fabulous, but I had to comment on the super cuteness of this one - love those ears! The only time I've seen flying rays was when we were on a dawn fishing trip off the coast of Mazunte. We couldn't believe what we were seeing :)
Gotta love those burros aka donkeys. So cute, even if they are wild. Oh! you are so lucky to witness the rays jumping in Mazunte! Almost every Mexican town on the Sea of Cortez has this phenomenon.
Nice place in Cabo We had a great visit with our friends in Cabo at their time share. It was a lovely property and were thrilled we got to meet you. I'm sure we would have loved Cabo twenty years ago. I hope to get to stay in a beachy mom and pop hotel near Laredo before it gets too touristy.
Depacito Time indeed waits for no-one. Amazing comparison between 1979 and 2019, what a difference! Those months by the beach and the surf in the family camper van must hold so many wonderful memories for you 😊
I couldn't resist a quick blog after I found that picture. Things have changed so drastically. It's depressing actually, but I can't do anything about it. My memories are keeping me going there for sure.
Costa Rica Wow, Costa Rica looks stunning! The monkey incident can't have been fun at the time, but I love the precision with which the monkey is checking through his potential spoils! I'm sorry to hear that you and your POBE had to part, I completely understand the soul-mate thing. Thank you for further inspiration to visit more of Central America 😊
Things change - and not always to the better I know exactly what you are talking about when you say that things change and that you look back and sometimes think that there is something missing today. I can give several examples of places that have changed for the worse. But instead I am going to tell you about two places that changed for the better. I visited Bosnia in 1997. It was then a war torn country. I went back in 2010 and things were much better. I have posted a handful of before-and-after-pictures on two blogs from the 2010-visit. If you want to find them you have to scroll down until you come to summer 2010 to find them. /Ake
Yes, it can be hard, all this change. Wow! Bosnia would have been very sad in 1997. You bet I will be looking at your 2010 blog on it. I'm glad things have drastically improved for them..
Going back in time Wow, you are so fortunate to have seen Baja before the hoards of tourist. It is great taking a step back to those childhood memories. Evidently, you got your sense of adventure through genetics. Most parents back in the day would not have been making that trip. Priceless. Loved reading your old blog again. Thanks for adding it.
Mexico! Yay, great to hear you're off again soon - look forward to hopefully reading more of your fantastic travel blogs from there! No worries about the weather, I'm enjoying experiencing all four seasons in my week here!
Travel Indeed, travelling is rather more-ish! Funny you should ask, I am currently in your mother country of Canada! Having a lovely time here, visiting my family near Toronto. Just got back from a few days on the shores of Lake Huron. I plan to write up a blog entry on my time there, hopefully next week when I'm back home. Loving your country though, and the super-friendly people, eh!
So glad you are enjoying my country! It is pretty great. But Sorry eh, it’s still a little cold. Over here on the best side, Vancouver. It is warmer! Not quite enough though, I’m headed for Mexico tomorrow to warm up a bit.
This Canadian girl's passion for travel comes from two very adventurous parents. My brother and I spent most of our youth traveling all over North America in the family campervan, airplane & boat - going as far west as the Hawaiian islands, as far north as Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Sea...and as far south as Mexico and beyond, doing lots of adventurey stuff...canoeing, surfing, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, exploring, jellyfish poking...it was the best childhood ever!
Nowadays most of my vaycay-time is spent in and around "Los Cabos" on the tip of beautiful Baja California Sur, Mexico. ... full info
