Skype chat with Chris early Sunday morning. He and Pausha moved to France two months ago, and he has discovered that he may have to work through a visa limitation ahead of his planned trip back to the States. His cloud on the horizon stems from the Schengen Zone restrictions. Schengen Zone? Shit, i haven’t looked into this at all, …
Gratitude for Loreto Bay…a sunset walk…
Appreciating and soaking in the beauty of Loreto Bay as we begin our departure from our wonderful adventure, here in Baja…I feel rejuvinated, with my heart wide open, feeling deeply nourished and cleansed by Mother Ocean.

Crazy Octopus at La Picazon, Loreto, Baja Mexico
The invitation comes mid-day, do we want to drive into Loreto, charter a boat and dine at the legendary La Picazon? Accessible only by sea or five miles down a broken dirt road, La Picazon is a Mexican seafood restaurant located about five miles North of town across from Coronado Island, perched above a rocky, uneasy coast and framed by …
An authentic Cinco de Mayo celebration…
Walking through the historic town of Loreto, Mexico, Tyler and I come across a flier for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. An image of a beautiful woman in traditional mexican dress adorns the sign. As I move closer to get a better look at the details, I spontaneously feel a spiraling sensation moving throughout my body. My feet melting into …

Snorkeling in Baja Mexico

Jorge laughs, shakes his head in disbelief, as he tells us of the ladies who ignore the signs about sting rays and shuffling, and proceed with their high-kicking …
A snorkeling adventure…in Loreto Bay.
A light wind dances gracefully upon the surface of the sea singing sweet melodies. I listen intently on the winds… Just returning from the cafe with Tyler, I suddenly feel inspired to have myself a little adventure. I gather the snorkeling gear, reef booties and towel, and head out to the ocean. Through the courtyard and out the cobble stoned …
Parrotfish Ceviche
The produce store had fresh parrotfish. The fatty, white fillet gave no hint as to the colorful exterior of its living brethren. Proprietor Ulises says that parrotfish is highly in demand and always sells out. I ask how he prepares it. One word: ceviche. I’m down with that. It’s time I made ceviche. I’ve grown to enjoy ceviche quite a …
A day to celebrate…
Gently beaming through the soft tannish curtains adorning the french doors of our bedroom, the suns luminous rays greet with a warm smile awakening us to a new day. Beside me, Tyler enjoys some extra early morning zzzzz’s, as I stretch my body and breath in the new day. I jump out of bed, with a spring in my step, …
A Day of Gratitude
I’m up early despite sleeping light. Chris and I collaborate online, bringing a client closer to launch. We finish by 9am. He signs off Skype for a while, I grab my car keys. I drive the 4.7 miles into downtown Ojai, reminded by a This American Life podcast about Chinese labor conditions I too often choose to forget. I feel …
