After a night in Punta Perula on Chamela Bay, we continued southward. We stopped for the day in Tenacatita, or actually just down the road around the bay from Tenacatita. We had Ouest’s second birthday in this bay. It’s a nice campground, right on the water, with hundreds and hundreds … Read More

There is no more difficult way to travel one hundred miles than to sail it. Riding bikes would have been a breeze. Jogging with Ouest on my shoulders, no problem. Sailing. My goodness, I’m beat. Didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Ali was up with a crying Lowe … Read More
