New Life.
After being in one place for almost 6 months i suppose it is time for a post to the ol' blog. Nothing too exciting around here (NOT!). Lots of mushrooms, fish, family, a baby, gardens, friends visiting, ect. We have already moved twice since being here in Hood River and we are packing to move again.

Home!
As pretty much everybody already knows we are back home! We are enjoying making ourselves at home here in Hood River. We have a small apartment near downtown. Kristin is working counter help at an amazing artisan bakery in town and I am in the process of getting myself a baking job at the same bakery. We have a rockin garden going, but it is getting slowly getting eaten by little pawed maggots (squirrels).
We are excited to be here for a bit and start to pay off our school loans and save for the next trip. If all goes as planned we will be here for the winter. But you never know.
Love.

One of these days I will fully figure our this blogger thing. Once again our photos are in reverse order. We are currently in Guerro Negro about to leave Baja California Sur. We are moving north at the speed of migrating birds, or so it feels. We have spent the winter away from the cold and now we are heading north into what already feels like cold. We only have two more weeks in Baja before we meet Cheryl and Mike, Kristin's mom and brother.
On a more positive note we have been exploring this amazing peninsula one short day of driving at a time. We feel rushed even though we had a month just for Baja. There are so many times we have to tell ourselves, "we will be back and then we can explore that bay, or that beach, etc." We were cara-vanning with three Canadian friends, Greg, Mike and Jen, for the first two weeks. Those days were spent chasing wind, drinking beer when none was found and cooking great meals over open fires.
Our van, Lava, has been a dream come true for us. She surprises us with the hills she is able to climb, river beds she is able to cross and comfortable sleep she provides us, enabling us to dream. That was cheesy. On to the photos.

Street side tacos, my personal favorite, the more ghetto the better.
Crazy story. We were in Bahia Conception and we had heard the NOLS branch was there, in Coyote Bay. Kristin did a NOLS semester in Baja in 2003. We decided to see if anyone was at the branch, and sure enough, two of her instructors were there. Above is Kristin with Rej and Paul, the two instructors. AND Paul just spent 5 months in Antarctica, where he hung out with one of Kristin's best friends, Anna!

What would the cacti in Baja do without me?
Greg attempting to kite in Juncalito.
Aren't we cute?
Kristin is happy with fruit baskets all around.
Wind and waves make my head spin. A combo fit for kings.
Hanging out in a spot not to be mentioned.
Final days in Baja. Jess, Kristin's high school friend came for an extended visit.

We love wind!
Hello everybody!
As you can imagine, lots of exciting things have happened. Almost the entire Franger family (minus Lindsey, unfortunately), came for a week long, windless visit, and we greatly enjoyed their company. Now we have left La Ventana in search of waves, wind and new experiences. Of course all of these were accessible from La Ventana, but we wanted to see them in a different light. We have vowed to take more photos and publish on the blog more. Now we are making our attempts. We are currently in Loreto, on our way to Punta Abreojos.
Peace.
