Coming at you live-ish from the Baja peninsula... which is a very good reason why you haven't seen any updates in over a week. It's been super tough. Shrimp tacos and off-the-grid beaches on Mexico's most notoriously fun strip of sand and rock are keeping us really "busy." So, back to Mexico. Baja. The other day we - Brooke, Chloe, me, Greg, and Samantha - were enduring a brutal morning on the beach south of Mulegè. Some coffee, some huevos rancheros, and a gentle tide at about 90 degrees F. A clunky old Ford pickup stopped next to our palapa and a thick and muscular Mexican man spoke a hilarious version of Spanglish through which he offered us an hour-long boat ride for $25. He claimed he'd show us a sunken boat that's since been taken over by the sea as a reef. He also suggested he'd take us to a nice point where we'd get some fresh clams from the bottom of the Sea of Cortès and swallow them down right there. "Bring limes and salsa, I bring mi panga over here in one two or three horas." He told us in his peculiar, yet admirable, dialect of Spanglish. ![]() |
