October 11, 2013 – We head off in a few days for another season on Baja, the weather looks terrific all the way, nothing but blue skies and warm sunny days. Always a nice change from driving in the rain on slippery roads. A big change for us this season is we are only taking Jitterbug, unfortunately Lulu has been diagnosed with heartworm and must remain behind for treatment, she will not be happy about spending the winter in Canada.
Let’s Celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day
September 19, 2013 – International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a amusing holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy), of Albany, Oregon, U.S., who proclaimed September 19th each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (honest I did not make this up).
Resendiz Family – Our Mexican Connection
August 26, 2013 – 28 years ago we were making our preparations for a family adventure of a lifetime. We were headed for unchartered territory filled with trepidation, some anxiety and seeking new frontiers. We had sold our house in Burnaby where we had resided for 6 years, a house formerly owned by my grandparents, Sid & Ethel Goy and were now heading for Mexico. We had originally hatched this adventure with our long time friends from Pender Harbour, Roland and Liz.
Baja Dogs are great!
August 15, 2013 – We have always had a soft spot in our hearts for the plight of Baja dogs, many abandoned and homeless. We often see them on the streets, congregating around PEMEX stations, wandering the beaches or anywhere where they might find humans and an opportunity for food, Taco stands are always popular.
Nigel: Parnelli Jones & Mickey Thompson Move Over!
July 25, 2013 – Our tour of Baja would not be complete without a stop at Ciudad Constitucion and Palapa 206, operated by Mike & Bertha. Always a great place to get caught up on local happenings and in the event you need repairs, believe me you need to end up here. As an industrial farming community and a hub of Baja racing activities you can get anything repaired here, we have. Palapa 206 has amazing mechanical contacts and always willing to help, often sending Nigel along as your interpreter.
