Mama’s Helper

I took another look around today and decided that this is actually a pretty beautiful spot. If you ignore the resort in the scene the rest of the place is full of menacing looking dinosaur islands, desert somehow full of green, and the ever encroaching Sierra Gigantes. They are right … Read More

Towels!

May 27, 2012Leave a Comment

Yesterday we sailed an hour south to Bahia Candeleros. It’s not the most scenic bay but it is nice, the holding is shallow and sandy, it’s still close enough for us to go back if Lowe comes down with Ouest’s strep throat, and there is a brand new resort ashore … Read More

Are Blue and Pink Jobs Sexist?

May 25, 20123 Comments

I recently received one of those one-line un-signed Hotmail e-mails that we get ever few months. This one proceeded to call me all the -ists. I’m an elitist, a racist, and a sexist. None of which really need be addressed. My actions and my lifestyle pretty much sum up … Read More

I Got This

This afternoon we went in to Loreto to make another grocery store run before what we hope will actually be us leaving Puerto Escondido. Going to town is nothing to be taken lightly here with the five-hundred peso taxi trip. About the only thing of note from our trip today … Read More

Go Diego Go

May 24, 2012Leave a Comment

I don’t know how we managed to get stranded here for so long. It is the least attractive and the least interesting spot we’ve been, yet a week later here we sit. Ouest still looks like she is on death’s doorstep, though she continues to act as if nothing is … Read More

Scarlet

May 23, 20122 Comments

Ouest has been sick the past few days; fevers, not eating, and then today a rash broke out all over her body and seemed to just keep getting worse and spreading to more and more places. She looked terrible by bed time but wasn’t complaining of any pain. We put … Read More

Holding Tight

May 22, 2012Leave a Comment

We didn’t do much today. Ouest was still not feeling all that great and none of us got any sleep last night, so today we just took it as easy as possible. Lowe is now standing straight up without any aids, balancing for ten seconds or so, and then taking … Read More

Hot

May 21, 2012Leave a Comment

Ouest had a fever today and was pretty out of it all afternoon. So much so in fact that she fell asleep completely on her own at one point. She never sits still long enough to do that and now we’re Googling whether or not it is possible to give … Read More

Loreto Farmer’s Market

May 20, 2012Leave a Comment

Ouest and I (have I mentioned how tired we are of Lowe’s morning naptime) caught a ride in this morning to the Loreto Farmer’s Market. Lots of good food, a ton of drinks, a bit of flea market nick-knack, and beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables. We go through fruit at … Read More

Are You?

May 19, 2012Leave a Comment

I really feel like I should like Loreto. It’s as if I am betraying my gringo brethren if I don’t, but somehow this town just doesn’t do it for me. Or Ali for that matter. “I’m just not feeling it,” is what she said after a few hours there. I … Read More

Escondido

May 18, 2012Leave a Comment

Escondido isn’t a very interesting place. It’s a good place to catch our breath, get a couple of boat chores done, and that’s about it really. The marina was built by the Mexican Government’s Tourist Agency and it looks as if they expected some amazing things out of it. They … Read More
