Greetings from beautiful Baja!

We are slowly settling into life in Mexico, and realizing we never want to leave. The wind finally started to blow, and we are meeting wonderful folks. Here is a preview of our past few weeks. We hope you all are well!
Much Love,
Colin and Kristin


The new addition to our family! ...only for one day. We adopted this adorable little 7 week old puppy, who we dubbed Oso (bear, en espanol). After one sleepless night and a reality check, we returned him and he found another loving (and permanent) home that same day. But what a cutie!

Thank you to our photographer friend, Vik, supplying us with these spectacular pics.

Hello everybody!
Hope you all are doing well. We are sitting at a little restaurant, doing all our internet chores, and awaiting the wind. Everything is great here, except the wind. We have only had a few windy days so far, but it should be picking up. Colin taught me to fly my kite for the first time yesterday, and it was loads of fun. Pictures will tell more than I can, so here you go. Also, they are in opposite chronological order, and I do not have the patience to fix it, so start at the bottom.
Much love to all!
Colin and Kristin


Colin, chillaxin on the beach at La Ventana.

Huge margharitas, just across the street from our camp, for $2. A bit pricy, but darn good.

The view from our home. Those are others camped in the secret free arroyo.


Our beautiful home!



Leaving the boating world, trying to hitch a ride on this bustling road... kite gear and all.

Our friends Luke and Megan off their sailboat, Sapphire, and Christy and Jason off Hello World.
Notice we are sucking on limes... and they taste like sugar! Incredible.
This stuff is crazy. It is a fruit, which you eat in concentrated form, and it makes anything sour into the sweetest thing you have ever tasted. How? I do not know. But we tried it, and it was crazy.

Our dear lady friends, Sarah from Stepping Stone, and Christy from Hello World. Unfortunately we only have a photo of Sarah, but Elias, Kimberly, and Boo, we are thinking of you too. Thank you all for a truly awesome experience.

One last jumpy before we leave the boating world. La Ventana in the background.
