Winter in Baja Day 50: Trying something different

W

The East Cape -> Los Barriles // These last few days we’ve been camped at a surfing hot spot, but you never would have known it until this morning.  Not long after sunrise the beach becomes lined with vehicles and the water filled with surfers.  Folks set up and sit beneath their beach umbrellas, dogs play in the sand, and per usual, whales breach in the background.  It feels...

Winter in Baja Day 49: Perfect weather

W

The East Cape // Even though my cold rages on and I’m still entirely without a voice, I can’t deny that I’m still in paradise.  The breeze is subtle today transforming the waves from loud and turbulent and in to a calming melody.  A short walk down the beach opens my world back up beyond the very small four walls I’ve been living in and reveals for the first time since we arrived at this spot...

Winter in Baja Day 48: Nurtured by nature

W

The East Cape // At 2:30am I’m sitting cross-legged in the sand beneath the bright light of a waning gibbous drinking a hot cup of tea in hopes of easing the sore throat that’s keeping me awake.  It does the trick and come morning I feel well enough to be outside, progress from yesterday.  Being outside means I get to watch the whales and watching the whales means I’m unable to feel...

Winter in Baja Day 47: Shifting my mindset

W

The East Cape // The optimism I went to sleep with immediately vanishes from my body when I wake at 4:30am feeling as though my mouth has been lined with concrete and I can hardly swallow.  I get out of bed, Mark following behind, and learn that my voice is nonexistent.   Mark, being the world’s greatest husband, gets right to work making me a cup of tea.  In my barely awake state my...

Winter in Baja Day 46: This could get rough

W

Rancho San Dionisio -> The East Cape // I love this life so much… living in a tiny space, spending the majority of our time outside, moving to a new location every few days. Most of the time. Then there are days like today, when it just feels hard. I woke up in the middle of the night with a cough and unmistakeable taste in my throat.  I’m sick.  Nothing makes a tiny home feel smaller than...

Winter in Baja Day 45: Embracing routine

W

Rancho San Dionisio // There are many things to love about Rancho San Dionisio but what I’ve loved most about the last four mornings has been the opportunity for routine.  We wake, drink our coffee and tea, do yoga, cook breakfast, wash our dishes in a real sink with running water, and even do some laundry.  Amenities such as toilets, a kitchen, hot showers, and laundry are as good as any five...

Winter in Baja Day 44: Easy Living at San Dionisio

W

Rancho San Dionisio // It’s our third full day in the same place and feels so good to wake with no intention of moving.  We wait for the sun to come out and warm the air before stepping outside for a morning yoga session on the lawn.  During yoga a gentle breeze causes the leaves of the giant Ceiba tree beside us to come raining down.  I wonder, in confusion, what month it is...

Winter in Baja Day 43: Bonding with our fellow travelers

W

Rancho San Dionisio // It’s 40 degrees this morning, by far the coldest morning we’ve experienced this winter.  (A far cry from the below freezing temps we used to endure this time of year in Colorado.). None of us guests on the ranch seem prepared for it and are all huddled around the outdoor kitchen with our hoods over our heads while we drink our coffee and tea.  Time somehow becomes...

Winter in Baja Day 42: A wake up call

W

Rancho San Dionisio // Hot coffee and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies lure us over to the community kitchen this morning where we join in conversation with fellow travelers.  Clarence & Isabel, the owners and hosts of the ranch, have a way of bringing people together, it’s one of the many things I love about this traveler’s paradise.  With a lawn at our doorstep, rolling out our...

Winter in Baja Day 41: Returning to Rancho San Dionisio

W

La Ribera -> San Dionisio // Sure enough, the locals came to party last night.  That’s always the risk when camping on a beach near a populated area but we were in need of a place to sleep and hoped for the best.  Luckily it didn’t last all night but for a few hours the music was loud and the hooting and hollering even louder.  Interestingly enough, what did make noise all night...
