Arrived in Baja

It is always a gargantuan drive, and this year in particular, difficult in that it rained the whole way. Not consistently, but off and on, leaving the roads muddy and slippery, and camping wet and uninviting. We saw more accidents this year than ever before despite the better roads.

She's out of the car, on a beach, with a ball–happy girl!

To be back in the same house is wonderful and finally, we have sun. It feels great. We went on a short bike ride around town this morning delivering things to people who had arrived previously. Because there are no street addresses or local post office, it's impossible to have things mailed. To get something, you often depend on fellow travelers to bring things you need. If it's easy to pack in a suitcase or a car, everyone is obliging. During the ride, there was a bit of Baja loose-dog-dodging, but we flanked Bellie with our bikes, or I road behind, weaving back and forth to dissuade any close encounters.

Bella is happy. In fact, Bella is happy anytime there is a ball, or her people, close by!

¡Feliz año nuevo!
