Kathleenie, when you get to the end of your rope...
I'm 'hangin' on here! Not at the end of my rope yet.
'Fresh Juice Anyone? Come on Down'
This will be a regular morning stop, two short blocks from my house. And, if I'm looking a little 'touristy' in my 'she's definitely a tourist hat', there is purpose behind it.
'Around San Felipe..Fresh Juice, Any Dayof the Week'
Just a little tour and some of my first favorites. I've always loved that you can get fresh juice here all the time (we used to come down to San Felipe years ago, seems like forever ago), they've been doing this for, forever! Makes you wonder why we can't get the same thing in the US where we're supposed to have everything!
'Casey's Place and Beach Front, San Felipe'
This is Casey's place, my current stopping off place. Casey has a bunch of San Felipe rentals, one of which I will be house sitting in after the spring rush. Several events coming up in San Felipe; the Baja 250 being the first, racers have already started to arrive. I think it's going to be a bit crazy for me.
Raita (we call her 'Ray'), Casey, and Mom
Kari & Dad, just because you might get lost...
The Road to San Felipe and Back...this is not the moon
Well, this is finally it, the road to San Felipe, Baja, Mexico! I thought you might like to see what I'm so crazy about. San Felipe is about 120 miles down the Baja on the Sea of Cortez. It's a dusty, dirty little town accessible by this rather lunar drive though the desert. It really is 120 miles of sand, jagged mountains, salt flats and the occasional desert flora; imagine this video looping for two hours.
I love the drive down. The mountains are multi-contoured, multi-layered, and shadows are constanly changing the rugged terrain. This is just a glimpse of the amazing landscape of the Baja. Enjoy the drive.
Mom, if you get a chance to travel, do it...
Mom has always had her own agenda in this 'guiding principle', and it's something I've lived by as well. Of course, it is noteworthy that she doesn't say, 'if you get a chance to travel with Kari, do it"! We've traveled many miles together and have many yet to go.
Dad, if your wife wants to do it, let her...
The sand dunes west of Yuma were my last stop before the Baja. Mom and dad parked in the desert there waiting to send me off. Mom decided to come down with me; dad had this 'guiding principle for life' to pass on. Guys, pay attention.

'Brain Blogged Down'
Friday, March 6, 2009
We frequented all the new restaurants/coffee shops, and some of the old; during one of these pleasant exchanges was born the 'guiding principles for life' short video take. These are short spontaneous takes, the filming (you have to view them sideways) is poor, the editing (usually none) is poor, but, they're fun and, if not wisdom to enrich your life, will certainly open possibilities...especially for all of you 'arians'.
We hit one night spot to see the Jim Byar Band play as Torri sings with the band. It was a great treat to hear them. You can check them out at www.jimdyarband.com
'En Route or Along the Way'
Had a Good time in Redding catching up with old friends and family.
