Someone stole my boogie board! :p
Day 143
Baja California Sur
When we woke up we drove over to the restaurant place and then I noticed my boogie board I had attached to the roof was missing. It was blowing a gale for half the night and was just as bad that morning, so it might have blown off or been stolen. I [...]

Desert driving
Day 137
Catavina, Baja, Mexico
The Sea of Cactus
Mexican Mickey Mouse?
We went for breakfast at the hotel where Rob worked and filled up. The place was pretty quiet, which probably makes it a good place to work, or rather to sit and read and get paid. They even had a ‘mall’ ie a room with stuff [...]

Chillin’ by the beach
Day 135
La Mision, Baja California, Mexico
Rob took us for breakfast at a local place he knows, where they speak English and have good Mexican food, we volunteered Nathan to drive and afterwards he took us a few k’s into the mountains to see how the rain had turned everything green. The sun shone for a [...]

Mad as a Coconut!
Day 141 La Mision Mexico
We woke up with Rob gone but he left us a note telling us where he was so after a shower and some coffee we went to meet him at his local committee meeting at Arthur and Molly’s house down by the beach. Keith got a shocked laugh when he immediately [...]

Panic at the gay disco
Day 133
San Diego, Ca
We had been invited to a brunch after the CS party but didn’t quite make it for 11am, if I wasn’t getting the full 3 hours of all you can drink champagne I wasn’t interested :p Carrisa was there with her boyfriend, as well as Lilia (who I had requested a couch [...]

Yet another Couchsurfing party!
Day 137 San Diego, Ca
Joan had a voucher for $30 for a Indian Buffet place which she hadn’t cashed in 3 years and we decided it was time to use it or lose it. It was miles away though but this was America and driving for 20 minutes for food was a normal thing to [...]

Walking in San Diego
Day 136
San Diego, Ca
Joan was jumping around in the morning and eager to show us around. The torrential downpour the previous night hadn’t dampened her enthusiasm and we set off in the blissful sunshine to explore the downtown area where she lived. I don’t know where she gets her energy but I could do with [...]

San Diego rain
Day 135
Los Angeles
Somehow I managed to get to the place Sheena was staying at for noon exactly. I warned her not to expect this ever again, although I had spent 15 minutes around the corner tidying up all my junk. She wasn’t completely ready anyway so I didn’t need to hurry. She wanted to see [...]

Taking a trip down memory lane…
Day 134
Los Angeles
Bonnie went to work but had supplied me with a key to the fire escape so at least I could come and go as I pleased. The weather was kind of cold and overcast but I set off to the beach regardless. I had lived in LA in 1994 for a couple of [...]

Bank holiday monday….
Day 133
Los Angeles
My car was safe out on the street for another entire day since it was a holiday and the traffic wardens were all presumably on the beach enjoying themselves. Bonnie had to return something to a sports store and on the way back she took me to a small Korean restaurant where, for [...]
