Last week we wrapped up our Baja adventures and crossed back into the US after two months in Mexico. It was starting to get pretty hot and we felt as though we had gotten our fill of beach and desert experiences. It was a great trip though and as with each of our trips, it’s now time for the trip highlight report!  Best Overall Place: Todos Santos - while it didn’t always feel like the most authentic Mexican experience, we really loved the feel of this Pueblo Magico and there’s no question that it has some of the best food in all of Baja. The climate was also perfect there as there was a steady ocean breeze coming off the Pacific keeping us cool in our casita on Calle Las Brisas. I also really enjoyed taking Spanish classes which really improved my Spanish due to the daily immersive one-on-one classes.  Honorable Mention : Loreto - we were big fans of the other Baja Pueblo Magico town that we visited but only spent three days here which probably wasn’t enough time to fully exp...

I thought about writing this blog in Spanish again but then I realized it’s harder for all parties if I do that so the native tongue it is! I have definitely not been as vigilant as I’d like to be in keeping up with studying Spanish since my classes ended three weeks ago. I had an idea of starting a study group in which we’d get together for a call in Spanish every week or two to speak Spanish - perhaps we could discuss an article, a book or a tv show in Spanish. If you’re aspiring to improve or maintain your Spanish and like this idea, let me know and I’ll set up some calls if I receive enough interest.    Ginny and I have had a great last three weeks traveling around in Gemma throughout Baja California Sur (BCS). We’ve mostly been in the La Paz area as we’ve really liked the mix of urban amenities and beautiful beaches that abounds in the area. La Paz has a population of about 300,000 people which makes it the most populous city in BCS. La Paz is known for its beautifully ca...

Como escribi en mi ultimo blog, tal vez tratare escribir mi proximo blog en espanol. Para aprender mas y mejorar mi espanol, tengo que practicar mucho y por eso voy a escribir este blog en espanol porque es un ejercisio bastante deficil para mi. Lo siento si tu no puedes leer espanol pero sugerio que uses Google Translate para entender lo que estoy escribiendo. Tambien no se como hacer acentos y tildas en el teclado...lo siento si tu eres la reina de la gramatica!   Ginny y yo disfrutamos nuestro tiempo en Todos Santos donde nos quedamos por casi un mes. Todos Santos es un pueblo magico con muchos estranjeros, restaurantes buenos y un clima agradable. En comparacion a nuestro viaje a Mexico el ano pasado, Todos Santos no parace como el Mexico autentico - por lo menos, no tiene la misma cultura como otros partes de Mexico - pero todovia nos gusta el pueblo. Yo estudie espanol para 3 semanas y tuve una maestra muy buena que ayudarme mucho. Ginny caminia casi cada dia en la playa...
